My son is back in school. I have my free time back! As a stay at home mom/housewife/artist, let me tell you, I TREASURE the hours of 8am to 2:45pm. School vacations are very hard on my art and sense of self. My son and I have a very strong bond… it has always been just him and I, ula and her little man. From the moment he was born, it has felt like we were two halves of the same person, albeit a REALLY moody, emotional, and highly spirited person. It was hard on the both of us when he started school, I had no clue what to do with myself for the first three months he was in kindergarten, I think I was lost and unsure of my abilities to do something OTHER than mothering. I have come into myself the past two years, learning to separate motherhood from wifehood from selfhood. I’m babbling, yeah?
My new lens has not come yet. I am afraid it never will. I did not paint anything while AJ was out of school. I was inspired several times only to have it snaked from me the moment I came home from wherever I was. But hey, I did a bunch of retail therapy, and had some ideas for photographs and other art.
January is always such a slow, boring, uneventful month. I am flirting with the idea of trying the 365 project again but I know myself better than that, it will be great for a month and then I will get bored. My project for this month is to relearn enough HTML/CSS to make myself a simple new layout. I hope your new year is off to a grand start.
