Yesterday was day 1, obviously as today is day 2! I started the same as I start any day, with a black coffee, wheatabix and a splash of milk and I did say that I wanted to be more organised. This seems to be where I let myself down. I don't say "No, I'm sorry but I won't be able to help you"...I think it and then say "Yes, that's no problem, it'll be ready in a couple of days". I then find that I have over 28 jobs that need to be 'ready in a couple of days'.
I think that if I can overcome this affliction of always trying to please everyone and actually start to give myself a break, I may just find the rest of life easier to deal with.
Had a major barney will my husband yesterday and it was all down to too much to do in not enough time, not eating lunch (not enough time) and then having a hissy fit at my nearest and dearest.
I own a small shop in the centre of a village, in the centre of the county, roughly in central England. It has been open for 2 months now and it has been a dream of mine for a number of years. However, I never for a minute thought it would take off as well as it has. People are coming from all over, to have their alterations and sewing jobs done by me...and I don't want to disappoint anyone. This is leaving me with no social time, no breaks and I have found myself to be sewing with the dawn chorus, which in turn leaves my body clock going haywire and because I get carried away with the sewing, I forget to eat until I go dizzy and crotchety and usually end up arguing with my loved ones or stuffing my face till I feel sick...neither pretty sights.
So instead of today being Day 2, I am going to consider it and everyday as the first day (because I am very good on Day 1 but then try and cheat and kid myself the rest of the time...maybe it will work, maybe it won't? I'll let you know).
