REAL LIFE CAPTION ALERT: Let me start off by saying I actually despise captions. I hate trying to think of what to type every time I post a picture, and typically go with my usual, "look at this!", because I honestly never know what to say.
But anyways. My sister at texted me this morning asking if I was going to take part in the and I thought OH CRAP (that's not the word I actually thought). So of course I stumble around my house and try to think of what the heck I'm going to do. I figure a cup of coffee with a jewelry item already made (earrings for the win, no chains to do!), along with a pretty something to really give the *perfect life affect*. We just set up for Christmas yesterday, so I have some sparkly balls sitting in a bowl, I figure they will do.
As I place everything down on my wooden slab, my 11 month-old Jax pulls himself up to eye level on my workspace, tugs, and proceeds to spill my coffee everywhere. All over the board, all over a stack of business cards that I'm running out of, and all over some sparkly balls. 😭 Aiden, my three year old, tells me our puppy, Leia, just p**ped in the hallway. My phone *cha-chings* and I just got another Christmas order. My husband calls and says "don't forget about our Christmas party at 4". I try not to have a meltdown. I pick up the p**p. I wipe up the coffee. I untangle my son from my lighting equipment. I pick up my camera, attempt to take my picture, and the battery dies. At this point, I do have a meltdown.
But then I remember: Jax is having the time of his life seeing what I'm up to. Aiden is watching Pocahontas in the living room, while eating breakfast and drinking his "hot chocolate" (chocolate milk). Leia, although is clearly not potty trained yet, gives the best snuggles. My son is SO excited for the Christmas party, because he gets to see Santa again! And for the winner (they're all winners, I'm running out of words to say): PEOPLE LIKE MY STUFF AND ACTUALLY WANT TO TRADE ME MONEY FOR IT.
My life is not perfect, by any means. Orders are stacking up and I'm stressing out, but I'm so grateful. Who needs sleep anyways? 😉
