I was talking to a couple of acquaintances this morning. We have kids the same ages. I mentioned wanting to open a scrapbook store but not having the time at this point in my life to devote to it.
ANYWAY, One of them says she saw this great set of stuff on QVC and thought she should buy it (She doesn't scrap.) but whenever she thinks about starting she thinks, "Yeah, but then I think about how much I'd be missing out on with the kids while I did it."
I was speechless!! And let me tell you , THAT doesn't happen very often!
I mean it's not like I neglect my kids to get my scrappin' fix in! I'm lucky if I get 10 pages done a month! PLUS, I thought the whole purpose is that I'm doing it FOR MY KIDS!!
Then I started thinking about the different activities she's in and I thought "How is that different? She's away from the kids while she's does that." At least I scrap with my kids sometimes.
Whew! Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
I feel much better now. I also realize that she probably wouldn't drop any of her current activities so she probably meant that it would be that much more time away from them.
But still...
