I AM FEELING....

overwhelmed.

out of space.

unorganized.

jumbled in my brain.

unfinished.

sad.

we had a water leak last year that ruined part of our hardwood floors.

beautiful new hardwood floor was ordered.

installation just started in the bedrooms where dog pee stained carpet was removed.

in blake's room I put in a small 4x6 throw rug.

Zoe pee'd on it yesterday.

Thank goodness I had been checking everyday or it would have ruined

the new hardwood floors left unattended.

i guess this means either no dog or no area rugs.

i don't know what to do.

i don't want to check area rugs daily.

dave says to call the dog trainer back.

not sure i have the energy to try to retrain her.

but don't have the heart to give Zoe up.

Funky Vintage Kitchen is needing my attention.

Lots to be loaded in the etsy store.

Local newspaper photographer coming tomorrow

to take pictures of me with my product for a local upcoming article.

I've gained 7 pounds....all jeans are too tight.

Nothing to wear.

Creating space is cramped and quickly becomes unorganized and messy.

I have several sketches for Dave to build some

cabinets for different areas of our house.

Kitchen, family room and bathroom.

So lucky he is a craftsman.

Feel bad to add to his list of to-dos

when he still has the whole rest of the house left to install hardwood in.

I'm still wanting a wall removed in our little office to open up our family room.

We are trying to figure out the logistics of that

since that wall holds up our roof.

Lucky again he is a contractor.

Designer friend coming tomorrow to help with suggestions.

Planned on coming straight home from drop off at school today

to work in the construction office and load up Etsy.

Decided to turn right instead of left and went to

visit my brother instead of coming straight home.

Started working on a puzzle while I was there that my dad started.

I didn't think I really liked puzzles.

Seriously.

Worked on it for 3 hours.

Dad should be happy.

He was having problems with it.

Enjoyed watching my brother play wrestling men

with my nephew that was there because my sister

was at jury duty.

we texted back and forth.

She was stuck there with a guilt trip

of not using the excuse of kids or money to get out of it by the judge.

I told her to just start crying.

My great aunt lorraine is staying with my parents also during the winter.

Maine winters are too cold for her.

We love having her here.

She is like a grandmother to me.

I asked my nephew why he picked aunt lorraine to watch him

instead of me while mommy was at jury duty.

he said aunt lorraine was more fun.

I texted her again.

my sister consoled me with.... she didn't give him an option.

she knew I didn't have any kids at home on a Monday.

Aunt Lorraine told me that the doctors think her cancer is back.

In her liver.

I am sad.

And what to do with my blogs, my branding and combining them all.

Do I keep 4Kennedys and add FVK shop undates.

Do I rename my blog to incorporate all.

If I'm wanting to grow FVK (Funky Vintage Kitchen just so you know)

do I become recognizable as that.

I don't know enough about social media and what 'games' I should be playing.

I just want to be successful and follow my dreams.

I am confused.

And to top it all off....I feel silly being confused about such a

silly thing as blogging!

It's not like I'm gonna be famous one day.

I just want to own a successful handmade business

and share it all through blogging.

Oh and by the way....it is still gray here today.

Maybe that is why I am feeling the way

I am today.

Do I dare say.....

Happy Monday!?
