I've kind of been in a funk lately and it's making me a little depressed! As we all know...creating art doesn't always pay that well. Even if you're lucky enough to sell a few pieces here and there, you can't usually depend on it as your sole income so most of us have to have another job to make ends meet. (Hurray to you who can!) I have a full-time job and a part-time job and barely make ends meet! Don't get me wrong, I actually love my full-time job as a para working with elementary age kids. Lately, though, I find myself getting really stressed out because I have absolutely no time to do my artwork! The only days I seen to get any artwork done are the days I don't have to work at all. I like it when I have the whole entire day to work on something. On a usual day, I get home around 4pm and then I have several things to take care of before I can settle down. I know....it seems that I should still have plenty of time to work on things, but lately, I've been feeling sooo run down that I have no energy, no ambition, once I get home from work! I don't know what's wrong with me lately! I have been sick, which could explain some of it, but it seems to be more than that. It's a vicious cycle! I have all these ideas beating around in my head! It'a almost as if I can physically feel them trying to break out! I have been writing down, but can't seem to find the time to bring them to life! Sooo Frustrating!!!!!!!!Augh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, just needed to vent!
