Turns out you can't have it all

Okay, obviously I'm the world's worst blogger since my last post was ummmm...SEPTEMBER!  This is for one big reason--turns out women really can't have it all.  You can't have a full time job, go to school full time, be a domestic goddess, AND blog about it.  Go figure...the only reason Martha can do it is because she made making mayonnaise from scratch her full time job.

I am teaching again and taking a full class load, so the most domestic thing I do is zap a lean cuisine in the microwave, or occasionally pick out some cheese at the whole foods market.  I mean sure, I managed to sew a couple yoga bags and bake the occasional biscuit on a snow day...but as a working woman who has time for that crap! ;)  

I do miss the lazy summer days of a job that required minimal effort, days of reading crafting blogs and dreaming up my next project.  I currently have a bag filled with fabric for a quilt--summer perhaps?  

So this is farewell to attempts at domesticity (for now).  Perhaps it will be resurrected in the summer, when as a teacher I will be foot loose and fancy free...
