starting my own online business

I feel a little crazy and overwhelmed. I don't know what I am getting myself into. I have decided to start my own online business making and selling bags and childrens clothing and stuff. I love making things and making money but I wonder if I am over doing it a bit. Can I really handle being a mom and running a business? we shall see!
Well, I have lots of sewing to do so I'll see ya later! lol

The boy is in kindergarten. ALL DAY!!!

So Makai started Kindergarten on monday and he got into the full day class. So things have been a little quieter around here. Makai is the loudest. He is also the busy body of the family so when he is home, things are a little hectic and loud.

But Makai is very helpful when I need it. If I say, "who wants to help me?", he is usually the first to volunteer. He has the best kisses too!

Today we experienced the first day of mommy doing everything. Daddy worked his regular 12 hour shift that he does 3 days a week. On top of getting the kids off to school I baked 4 loafs of bread, made lunch for Kado and myself, took care of Lyla who has decided that she likes to be held all the time, (I don't mind, it's just harder to get things done with her attached to me the whole time). Picked up the kids, homework, gave out snacks, dealt with screaming, fighting, kicking, punching, spit up, crying (from all 4, sometimes all at the same time mind you), time-out, "mom, I'll be good", Dinner, bed time routine and finally a much needed shower!! I need a break and it's only thursday. 2 more days, can I do it?

Well I don't want to make this post seem like a big crying fest Having 4 kids has it's challenges but I am up for it and I will try to make the best out of it. Focus on the possitives right?

The things that were AWESOME about today:

My brother that I love so dear was kind enough to make my day a little easier by taking the kids to school for me so I didn't have to load everyone and thier dog (did I mention I'm glad I don't have a dog....) up into the car just to drive a few blocks to school.

I got to sleep in, Kado watched TV after I fed him breakfast and Lyla and I snoozed all morning long!! (I'm not lazy, just sleep deprived, I have to make up for it sometime).

I made $10 selling bread! (things are tight so I am thankful for the help).

Lyla sort of smiled at me again. It's like a recharge for my emotions when she does that!

I made some super yummy chicken enchaladas that I've been wanting to make since my friend Natalie brought us dinner after I had Lyla. (hers was better, I'm going to need the recipe...)

My husband came home and kissed me. Thank you Andrew for paying attention to me. I would never make it as a single mother.

I got to sit in my chair for the entire time I was eating my dinner. Andrew took care of all the 'I wants and needs' for the kids. He even got me seconds and a glass of water!! Thank you!!<3 Got some fun photos of Lainee playing with those one weeds that you blow and make a wish on. I'll post them later. I wish I knew how to edit photos cause they would be even better with a little editing!

I got a nice relaxing shower with out kids begging to get in with me....I didn't even turn on the light, it was so nice!
