In which I have a pity party

I thought I would never get too busy to blog. Alas, it has happened! Things with homeschooling, preschooling, working, housekeeping, laundry doing, cooking, and ministry participating have seemed to take over. I told Mama the other day that, in these past few weeks, I get literally 0 minutes to myself each day. Nap time, which used to be reserved for some relaxing, has been completely filled with editing work. Evenings after the children go to bed are now for homeschool prep for the next day, lunch packing, and more proofing work.

However, today I finished a huge editing project that work threw my way (30 hours of work!), and now I feel like a new woman. I actually relaxed for a bit during nap time today and even did a little crafting.

My boss knows they've been giving me too much work lately, and she and I have talked about it. They just hired another full-time, in-house proofreader (they already have one), so that will take a lot of the burden off of me. My boss also asked if I would transition to mostly working on special projects with her (yes!), which will also ease some of the day-to-day stress.

Edited to add pictures of today's crafting completion:
