Let's Catch Up!

Hello, hello, hello!

I've been super duper busy since I last posted. Very exciting things are happening over at the Stafford household. Some good exciting, some not so good exciting... but exciting nonetheless.

This week has been a balance of plus and minus. Pros and cons. If's and but's.

We fixed the truck (again)! But the air conditioner broke.
The coil burned up! BUT, it didn't catch fire.
Cool  weather is coming soon. But, it's 91 degrees in the house!
There's still a hole in the wall! But we have paneling to repair it with now.

 It's been a whirlwind, to say the least.

But in this same, hectic week, so many NICE things have happened:
✓ I've been working on my secret project, and I have to say that it is going pretty darn well.
✓ I FINALLY GOT MY NEW DRYER!!
✓ I had time one morning to do some painting with Jase before work (which never happens!)
✓ Did I mention that I got my new dryer?!
✓ I made my first batch of candy for the fall ☺
✓ I finished setting up all my online stores.
✓ I scheduled another book reading with my son's school!

So, as you can see, it's been a little difficult for me to entertain you lately... but, I'm hoping things will slow down for me here in the next few weeks.

I still have to finish my secret project... although, I haven't set a time limit for myself on that one. Just letting it happen as it will.
And I still need to get my act together on these illustrations for Our Little House on the Great Big Hill. I'm hoping to have it at least mostly done by the end of the year. It'll happen eventually I guess haha.

Until next time!

Always Keep Adventuring -
Rachel ♥♥

Snow Drifting

If you live in the Heartland of America, then there's a good chance that you're experiencing snow and ice right now. As an Illinoisan, snow and ice are just a part of our everyday lives during the wintertime. Last winter was rather dry, and we only had a small dusting the entire season. This year, however, Mother Nature has decided to make up what she had missed. This past Thursday was a balmy 61 degrees when I walked into work. Eight hours later, the temperature had dropped to 41, and by the time I made it home at around 10:30 PM, it had dropped an additional ten degrees. By 11:00 PM, it was sleeting. The sleet continued until early Friday morning and eventually turned to snow. Personally, I LOVE snow! Fall and winter are my favorite times of the year, and snow is one of the few things in life that hasn't lost its magic as I've aged. I love sledding and snowboarding (even though I recently bruised my tailbone by pretending I'm still 17 and agile, not 27 and app...

First Classroom Reading!

Hello, hello, hello again! This week has been super  hectic, so I'm sure you've noticed the diminished amounts of posts the last few days. Well, let's play catch up! On Tuesday and Wednesday, I worked third shift, which I LOVE 😍 but am not used to the routine anymore. I worked third shift for a few years before Jase was born, and it was my favorite shift, but I've worked mainly second shift since I moved to dispatching. I've always  been a night owl, and love both shifts equally, but it's hard to get back into it when it breaks you away from your routine. EITHER WAY, on Thursday morning, I got off work around 0645 and headed home. Got home around 0730 and my family was running around like headless chickens trying to get themselves ready for work and school. We all piled in the car around 0800, and as we were driving away from the house, I realized just how long it had been since I'd eaten. I was hungry, had had too much coffee and too little sle...

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 ...
