Last year, I opened a web business called BSG Designs (aka www.ballisticsweatergirl.com). I make handbags and accessories.Ballistic Sweater Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03464887257446268525noreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22208467.post-1139510777129787562006-02-09T12:43:00.000-06:002006-02-09T12:54:21.593-06:00So I've been tossing around the idea of starting a daily blog journal and finally got around to it. I felt that writing (typing) down the events and ideas of my harried life would be cathartic. Maybe I can look back at blogs a year from now and say "wow, I've really accomplished a lot" or "man, how time flies". Either way...here goes....<br /><br />When I first toyed with the idea of starting my own business and stay at home with the kiddos, it seemed like a great idea. Now I still want my business, but the kiddos around....not so much. Trying to design and work has become something like a game of hide-n-seek. I try to keep them preoccupied long enough not to notice that I'm working. Then, they come find me and pull me away. I probably could handle that better if it weren't for what happens in between: Barrettes in electrical outlets, scratched cornea (stop poking mommy's eye sweetie), frantic trips to the potty (not my trips), just to name a few. All in all though I love my life and am lucky to have this opportunity. I have family that is supportive and gratefully keeps <span style="font-style: italic;">most</span> of their advice and comments to themselves. Thank you for that.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22208467-113951077712978756?l=ballisticsweatergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ballistic Sweater Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03464887257446268525noreply@blogger.com0
