found it...My 2011 Word

I am really trying to work on getting here more often, I really am.
But lately, I feel I don't have much to "blog" about. What is going on that is so exciting?
Think...think...think...

Since the store opened our lives have changed so much. I thought I was busy before. Now... wooh, I'm down-right exhausted. I feel like I try so hard and just go in circles. It's the daily things that are exhausting me the most. Just looking and the 6 laundry hampers in the house that are overflowing, the laundry in the basket that needs to be ironed and socks to match. Dinner, better yet, groceries... plus I'm in a cooking rut! I'd rather just grab a pizza and be done with it. Dishes, bathrooms, dusting, if I only had Mary Poppins for the day!

The house needs a good deep scrubbing but do I really want to do that? Not in the slightest.
My scraproom, which used to be MY space, my little haven of happiness... AURGH... I don't even want to walk in. It has become a catch-all space- boxes, paperwork, the cats (don't even get me started on those things) plus all my scrap stuff and it has become chaos. Not even fun creative chaos. I walk in there and I am more stressed than ever. It's so sad...

Then I stumbled across Teresa's blog post
Thank you for shedding some light! You have shared your "ah ha" moment and given me mine! I always like to believe that I'm not the only one dealing with "silly issues" and for you to share them with us helped me to feel just a little bit more "normal". Thank you sooo much!

I have finally figured out what my year is going to be about, my "One Word", thanks to Teresa and I don't think she would mind sharing.
