Ok, so this weekend I have a show scheduled at my sister's house. I am on my own this time, for my launch I had the benefit of my sponsor's jewelry. She was also there to help me with pricing and questions. I am solo this time. I need to be prepared with pricing etc... I will be displaying my own jewels which at this point consist of about 20 Stella & Dot pieces. I promised my sister it would not be stressful for her to host it, and I am doing my part not to add any stress. The whole point is for it to be a fun time of hanging out with the girls. Today I have to focus on some household stuff, and then work in some work hours. I have to be careful to separate them, or else I get nothing done effectively. I have enough trouble remembering what I am doing from moment, if I try to work in laundry, while making calls, and loading the dishwasher... I'll be a mess! I am a chronic multi-tasker, which means I do a whole lot, but it is half-finished. Today, I will make a list, schedule things out, and try to stick to my schedule. Wish me luck!
I enter this new week a little tired, but smiling. Why? No drama this weekend. We had sunshine, and sports, and cuddle time--- less the drama. Most families don't experience the intense level of emotions that the Rhodes clan does. Sure, they have the hectic life of families, perhaps some fighting, the normal mess--- perhaps a little teen hormone induced drama....but we have drama of a different kind in our house. The kind of drama caused by a brain that is shooting off crazy chemicals induced by years of trauma. When our son Victor is home, the whole world is a great big land mine. Saying the wrong thing, calling him out on behavior, or even suggesting that he not eat a 4th serving of ice cream can cause the the peace to recede, and for chaos to ensue. He is now in a boarding school for kids with emotional issues. As sad as it is that our family isn't all together--- I must admit that the peace in our household is a welcome blessing. We are learning more and more
