Five Minute Friday: Change

Start

Wow!  Change is the word for this week.  I can actually really relate to this word – this is a week of huge CHANGE for us.  I have been managing a political campaign this summer.  It has sucked the summer away.  I don’t particularly enjoy politics, but it was for my dad.  Of course, when I agreed to be the Campaign Manager we thought he’d be unopposed.  We weren’t.  24 hours from the cut off someone signed up. on the same ticket.  This meant we had an opponent and it was all or nothing, to be over on the 28th of this month.  Phew!  So many changes & lessons learned.  Primary is over. We won.  Campaign is essentially done.  Now the real change starts.  I have started Twitter, Instagram, and Google + in the last month.  I have left everyone hanging.  I actually hate change.  Even though our schedule has been insane, it became comfortable.  Now we start school. Start my business for real.  Continue the 2 new jobs I started on top of the managing in the last month.  Yes, change is on my horizon.  Not in the distance any longer, but now.

Stop

Yea, it’s time for Five Minute Friday and I get to participate!!  I get to participate because of all the CHANGE happening in our lives right now. It is poorly written & I’m sure doesn’t make much sense, but I’m getting to participate – because of CHANGE.  I did it though, I left all my editing mistakes – {man is that hard!}  However, I want to go back & highlight a couple things I wrote…

I hate change.                                                                                                                                {you have no idea how much this is a struggle for me}

Campaign for the Primary Election is over!                                                                {this is such a relief, as in mind numbing thankfulness to not be 150% focused on what had to be done yesterday! There were a few times I tried to make a list of all accomplished tasks for the day, it depressed/distracted me so much about half way through, I had to quit.  I couldn’t stomach seeing it all written in one place.}

We won said Primary!!!                                                                                                             {we did it [squeal!!!]  We were to the point we were all individually content with whatever God’s best plan was for our family.  We knew win or lose He is in control, we were mightily relieved by this fact.  But, we are soooo relieved it is over!}

We are going to start homeschooling soon.                                                                       {but I just ordered the kids’ math today.  I have most everything else already, just need to get the paperwork portion down. and learn My Well Planned Day. and get everything input into it.}

I have two new jobs                                                                                                                {one proofreading, one design related – totally excited about them both}

Life has been insanely busy & I’m ready for the change of slowing down.     {I’m so excited to start doing more here with the blog & designing, getting homeschool & our “real” schedule under way, sewing, reading, and going to bed before 1:30AM!}
