Daddy Part 2

Photo by Emma Rose Photography

In a little less than a week, if all goes according to plan, I’ll be a daddy for the second time.  In less than a week I’ll also be starting university for the second time. I’m dong a Master of Information Management to expand my ability as a designer and hopefully open doors for myself outside of design in the future. On top of that my full time job has been busy and Glitterati is more popular than ever. My life for the past 8 and a-half months has been hectic, (to say the least) full of happiness and nervousness for the future. On one had I’m excited about the new addition to our family and the professional success I’m seeing while on the other I’m worried about money and time management. I feel like I’m about to have one of those, “make it or break it” moments. That being said, I’m gonna do everything I can to be there for my family and not break Glitterati. I may not be able to post on the blog as often but I’ll still be around. I may just focus on micro-blogging a little more for convenience sake. If you want to keep up with me and haven’t seen a post in a while, hit me up on Twitter or join the Glitterati Facebook page.

Peace!

My Pride and Pain

I recently had my lawn landscaped. I thought that paying someone to do this for me would mean little to no work on my end but to my surprise it actually requires a lot of work on my end. I love waking up everyday to see a beautiful green and flat landscape but in order to make sure it stays that way, I've had to  water my grass EVERY morning and EVERY evening (Providing it doesn't rain that day). Sounds easy enough. Except certain parts of my property are too small for my sprinkler to work properly and others are not getting enough water despite my best placement efforts. So everyday I have to water certain parts of my property by hand and other parts require figuring out the perfect placement and water pressure for the sprinkler. As frustrating as this is; It is rewarding when I see certain parts of my lawn recover from the lack of water but this watering crap is stealing my design and writing time. I'm starting to feel like life is constantly throwing situations like this at me. Why do we have to choose work or family/home? Why can't we just have enough hours in the day to do both?
