All is Aflutter in Design Land...
Yesterday marked School Orientation for moi. It also heralded a new era of crazy-busy for my family. We are doing our best to manage the madness...
If it weren't for the white write-erase board in the kitchen, all could be lost. As it stands, we have tamed the beast with black ink for husband's sched, blue for the boy's, and red for mine...so far red is winning. Sorry, guys.
This cavalcade of color keeps us from running into one another during our busy days. We can look at the calendar from across the room as we are speaking on the phone, making our plans for the week, and see exactly who is doing what, when. All because of color and the way we are coercing it into an organized pattern of to-do's and done's, I can's and no way, I can'ts.
Amazing what havoc even the slightest oversight of scheduling can wreak on the overall mood of a home or office. Forget to ink in one teensy 9am appointment that is meant to be attended by two different parties of the same organization (be this hubby and wife, or account manager and art director), and zip, POP, bang! We have a major meltdown.
And so we thank the beast, and feed it regularly with timely ink. We also give it a good cleaning at the end of every month. Seems to bring it back to life a bit...the recognition of it's orginal surface must help it bear the load of yet another thankless month!
And speaking of thanks.
I'm going to take this opportunity to thank my family for their undeniable support over the past few years. They have lived without my constant hovering for that long! They have tackled laundry, dishes, playdates, and lawn-mowing...and done a fabulous job of it to boot.
There are many long months ahead of us now as I strive for my BFA. I'm banking on togetherness, organization, and immaculate communication to pull us through. And as I'm banking, I want to say thank you for being there for me, for each other, and for yourselves...for believing in me, and for knowing you have in you what it takes to get things done! In helping yourselves, you help me help you.
I'm so grateful and I love you both madly.
