It's Just Been One of Those Weeks

Does anyone else have a certain month, or time of year, when it seems life just wants to screw with you? September - October are usually those months, and boy let me tell you: this year has been rough on us.

Broken glasses, paychecks were short, bills were shuffled around, the dogs chewed up the hallway wall, the truck broke down, it's getting cooler and we still don't have a clothes dryer....

And most of that was just this week. 

But it's okay. It's okay because I know we will be taken care of. We have always been blessed.. even on those days when we've got a quarter tank of gas and four days until payday. Even on those days when everything is breaking, and tempers are running high. Even on those days when it feels like the hours upon hours upon hours of working will never pay off.. it always does.

I've felt awful today with a sinus cold and my chronic tummy issues. I can't concentrate to save my life, but I'm pushing through today. I came back to my weekly blog with no idea what to write. I didn't even feel like writing. I just wanted to sit at my desk and stare off into space, to be quite honest.

I know I'm just rambling at this point, but I just want to say that if anyone else has weeks or months like this:
#1 You are not alone.
#2 If you are a faithful person, keep praying. We may not attend church as often anymore due to schedules, but we pray. I pray daily, and not just before bed. Through the anxiety attacks, through the stress, through the days when there's no money. But also on the days that go perfectly right. On the sunny days, when everyone is smiling, and we can afford to randomly go out to dinner or buy toys for the kiddos. I pray. I thank God everyday, good or bad, for the opportunity to experience today.

End of rant.

I'll be back with better material next week, when my brain is processing information again.

Quiet, Frustration, and Reflection

Okay, okay.. I've been kind of quiet lately. My blog posts haven't been as frequent, I haven't posted any new comics or drawings, no updates on books. Quite frankly, I've been in a little bit of a frustrated slump lately. I've been working here and there on projects, trying to keep up with my boys, and get as much sleep as possible. I've been enjoying the beautiful fall weather. I've been trying to buy a house, and it's not really going as planned. I've been bingeing on Stranger Things  with my husband. I've got so many ideas, but I'm feeling uninspired and foggy all the time. I've decided to take a little me time. I'll probably be a little quiet online, but I'm still going to be working toward finishing the projects I already have started before moving on to anything else. As updates are available, I will post them.  I have a radio interview coming up this Thursday, so that's pretty exciting! I'll let you ...

FREE PROMO and Other Interesting Blurbs

September 2-6,  the Kindle Edition of The Greasy Opossum  is FREE! So far, nearly 100 copies have been claimed, and I'm so excited!! Check it out before the promo ends. This has been such a busy week, and I'm feeling pretty jazzed today. Tired, but jazzed nonetheless. So many changes and new things are coming, but I'm not sure what to say about them yet, so I guess you'll just have to wait for a little longer. It's SUNDAY so be sure to check back later tonight for my new comic. Always Keep Adventuring -Rachel ♥♥

A "Sweet" Day at the Chocolate Factory

So, for my first event, I'd say my helpers and I did pretty well! My special helpers were (for the most part) well behaved, especially when their grandparents came out to help! We had a little table, sold a few books, and had chocolate and ice cream! It was a pretty slow morning, which was a little unexpected, but at least we weren't completely overwhelmed! I was feeling a little more than unprepared anyway, so everything worked out just fine. September 30th, we'll be back at the Chocolate Factory for their BIG 40th Anniversary Event! I think we'll have a much bigger turnout that day, and I'll have books on hand that people can take home that day! Feeling very blessed right now, and it seems like things are really starting to fall into place. Always Keep Adventuring, Rachel ♥♥
