Working on me

Can I just say that summer colds suck! Yup! I've been hit with one heck of a summer cold. And my sweet little S has yet another ear infection that poor little girl. Now I get why she gets so cranky, being sick sucks, especially when it's hot out. So from now on I'm going to be 100% sympathic toward her. She gets so cranky and hard to deal with at times, but it's not her fault. And I know that, and I'm working on it. And while we're on the topic I'm going to just work on my patients over all. I need to be slower to anger, slower to snap, more understanding, more sympathic. I've come to the realization that my kids are always going to do things, and it's my reaction that builds their character. Well that's not true, I've known that all along. But I lost sight of it in the craziness that has been the past 18 months. But I've re-relalized this, and my attitude is going to change due to it. My kids deserve the best, and I'm going to do my best to give that to them. But in doing so I need to work on myself. In working on myself, I've decided to try and taking my sewing to a new level. My etsy shop has eleven items, in it and 14 more waiting to be photographed and posted. My goal was to have 40 items in it by Friday, but then I was hit by this horrible cold and spent all day yesterday in bed slepping. So I hope to convince S to model a few items this afternoon and post those 13 items this evening after the kids are in bed. So I can settle for thirty items. Check them out, it's all girls items and maybe next week we'll add a few boyish items. Any suggestions on how I can promote my shop? I need to be selling those designs. So any promotional help you can provide would be loved and greatly appreciated! Well I think this post has been scatter brained enough for one day. Sorry about that! I'm going to go photograph some skirts for the shop!
