I recently quit my day job and moved to my husband's home town. While I am really excited to have more than just nights and weekends to run my shop, his extended family in the area feels sorry for me that I'm just home alone all day so they like to stop by a lot. They don't get that I'm running a business and yes, that does take marketing, organizing, designing ... all sorts of things! I'm trying my hardest to break my days into chunks and accomplish certain things certain days. I've had the exact same thoughts as you have these past few weeks, so I smiled when I saw your blog today. You aren't alone!Lama Workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358262118275317977noreply@blogger.com
