HEY, hey, hey! I got a response from my ad already!...To paint a mural (roses & ribbons) in a little girl's room in Gastonia. I can't wait! I've painted murals before, but never through my own advertisement....which makes me do a little happy dance! But don't watch. With my schedule full of running the kids here & there all day everyday I'll have to eliminate a few things so I can make a little money! But it's soooo cool! Just had to get that out.........
Still looking for a house (or apartment) before October. There are a few options but none seem big enough for the money they're asking. At least the apartment could be a five bedroom if we modify the den a little. I really want (demand) a place to call my "studio." I've done without a space for my personal pleasure ever since I started having kids. That's way too long. Time to find ME again.

This computer is being sooooo sloooow today! But then so am I. Hey, at least I went for a walk this morning......since I haven't walked at all in the last eight days! I have an excuse though.....I've been sick so my energy was waaay down and it took a while to feel "right " again. Yeah, right. Whatever. Anyway....................The boys are back in school and already hate getting up in the morning.....at least Mason, anyway. I wish I could go back to school.
My ad is in Skirt! magazine this month and I'm expecting a lot of business now so I wouldn't be able to find time to go to school if I wanted to. Ok...so maybe I'm not fully awake this morning. But it would be nice to get some business from this very small ad in the back of the magazine. It's all I could afford so don't laugh! I gotta start somewhere! Annalisa will be registering for classes on Thursday. I don't have any idea what times she'll pick or even what's available. I just hope she leaves me some time to paint should I even get a mural job. After all, I can't paint a mural in someone elses home and watch her son at the same time. He's a sweetie but he ain't that sweet!
I love little Anton but I just wish Annalisa would have waited much longer to do the things she did. Her life would have certainly been much easier. And, YES, mine too....... She's still way too dependant on her own mommy. So is her "squishy little monkey of a baby." He's definitely a momma's boy. And she better not have any more children before her 30th birthday or I'll tie her tubes together myself!
I can't wait until we move. Not that I'm real excited about the possibility of repeating the last "daily-hubby-get-drunk-wife-get-mad" homelife scenario. But we all just need the breathing room. And Ian really needs some space (however small) of his own. But then don't we all! .....I want my own studio! At least a pretend one.......please.
