My pride and joy is my blog and baking. \u00a0Some may say children are supposed to be, but I get my fulfillment teaching others’ children. \u00a0I don’t know how my parents did it . . . raising children and<\/strong> teaching! \u00a0One or the other, please. \u00a0RIght now, it looks like it’s teaching . . . and blogging and baking!<\/p>\n

I have totally been neglecting my blog in the last couple of months, and haven’t been able to tell as many stories as I like to . . . or as many cardio posts (hmm, I think I have mentioned that a number of times!) \u00a0 I think of CCC<\/strong><\/span> as a way to express how I’m feeling at any given moment, \u00a0what is going on in my world, or the latest recipe I stumbled upon and recreated. \u00a0I am leading a very busy life at the moment, but one of my friends pointed out on the weekend that I “function very well when scheduled”. \u00a0She was right, but of course it’s all within reason. \u00a0Who needs sleep!?!<\/p>\n

I love schedules. \u00a0If I could be a professional scheduler, I would be! \u00a0What has been difficult as of late, has been learning to schedule a NEW responsibility into my already busy schedule . . . JJ’s Custom Cakery<\/a>. \u00a0Obviously (to everyone else) I am going to need to give up some of my “jobs”, but that is a hard pill to swallow for someone obsessed with scheduling.<\/p>\n

My gut reaction to fight this sensible notion of “giving something up” and replace it with “NO, I CAN DO IT ALL!” \u00a0but, I’m learning I can’t. \u00a0Emotionally it leads to breakdowns, it leads to lack of sleep, it leads to a poor memory (which I kind of need for teaching and baking . . . baking powder does NOT do the same work that baking soda does!) and it leads to a complete lack of a social life (thank god Paul is liking caking). \u00a0I can’t forget to mention how “doing it all” severely affects my TV watching schedule! \u00a0Oh the shame, the shame.<\/em><\/p>\n

As I set out in this next journey with a new business, I am so excited to see what lays ahead. \u00a0Scared at the same time, but excited about what might be. \u00a0Everyday a new opportunity may come my way, and \u00a0new excitement can begin to build, one order at a time.<\/p>\n
