could only be started in one way.\u00a0 With a trip to Starbucks.<\/p>\n

I woke up grumpy.\u00a0 This has been a long week.<\/p>\n

Last night my dishwasher broke- again.\u00a0 It’s only 2 years old, I had it repaired about 6 months ago for the EXACT same problem.\u00a0 I have a sink full of dirty dishes and bottles.<\/p>\n

My husband has not been home before 8pm all week.\u00a0 In the last few months his job has steadily taken over his life.\u00a0 Nights, weekends, you name it.<\/p>\n

I could deal with being the single parent of 4 kids if he loved his job.\u00a0 But he doesn’t.\u00a0 And now is talking of looking elsewhere.\u00a0 Ironically, he is trying to convince others there not to quit. He is not the only one that is fed up.\u00a0 It’s a big fat mess.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to move, but I want him to be happy.\u00a0 And I want my kids to have their dad around.\u00a0 So…. I am making a mental list of where I would be willing to move…<\/p>\n

Today I am thinking some place warm \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In the meantime, my warm peppermint mocha is making my mood much better.<\/p>\n

We are working steadily to get orders made and out the door, and I feel comfortable with the process. It’s a full day in the studio for me again today.<\/p>\n

I feel lucky- I love my job.\u00a0 And I can work anywhere.\u00a0 Well, as long as Aimee moves with me.<\/p>\n

Moving on.<\/p>\n
