In case you didn’t notice, I haven’t been around much lately.  Since I’ve gone back to the salon {full time}, volunteered to take on an extra responsibility or two for our amazing church, I’ve found I don’t want to spend much more time on anything other than my family/home.

So, what have I been up to lately?

1. Spending as much time as possible soaking up the sunshine in my favorite spot.
2. After hours, with my love.
3. Trying to keep as much of the same eating habits as when cooking was my job.
4. Driving across southern Kentucky to help out a salon in need.
5. Enjoying the quiet morning hours before the clients start rolling in.
6. Goofing off and helping my favorite lady figure out life as a kindergardener.
7. Trying not to feel like this.
8. And drinking too much of this.

Leading the salon is a job full of never ending works-in-progress.  I go nonstop while I’m there and yet at the same time see little finished when I leave.  I’m a person that likes to finish a project before moving on to the next.  I like the satisfaction of completion; closure, maybe? So this new way of working is taking some adjusting. I’m trying to find my routine, there. Not to mention build trust, respect and rapport with my stylists. They need a lot of lovin’ in there.

I’m only taking two classes this semester: Copy & Layout and Women’s Studies {Billy is thrilled about the latter}.  Two is still more than enough. I guess I’m a bit surprised by how mentally exhausting my job is. I’m going to have to work my butt off to stay organized and sain, this semester. Full night’s rest, proper eating habits and Sundays will be my saving grace. We’ve been mattress shopping, so that will help, too.

Basically, I’m apologizing for my recent absence, my lack of posting. I’m also apologizing for the fact that I don’t see it getting much better any time soon. Forgive me if I only post once or twice a week. I’m also keeping up with social media for another entity.

I hope you’ll keep up with me in other ways, though. I post daily on my Twitter and Instagram {@littlewishball}.

Will you be trying anything new in the near future? Are you nervous or worried about how you’ll handle it? I’m stressin’ over here, darlin’! Who’s with me?!
