Brain Absorption

I can feel it happening. My brain is becoming sludge. The kind of hot feeling, slight head-ache-behind the-eyes, entirely anti-social feel. So much to do, absorb, and learn after committing to making the internet business work.

Right now, I am doing the survey thing...last week over a hundred dollars...not bad. Designing tattoos for the createmytattoo.com web...haven't won a contest, but it is a stream of income...the website design is fabulous. I haven't done this much artwork in a long time. The competition is great. The feedback is helpful. And ultimately it is meeting my goal of where I want to be with my online business while earning money along the way.

I am working on my own project which is nearing completion. Working on my websites via WA. Looking into the blogging and designing cover art for online ebooks. And last, but of course, not least continuing my training through WA.

Seems random...but there is a method to the madness. Of course, I have to drop it all when the kids wake up and pick it all back up again when they go to sleep. So, I am back to the brain fog. Daily.

Yesterday morning, my coffee maker broke. I loaded everything but it would not brew. I was desperate. How would I survive? Then, my days of Civil War reenacting came back to me...I found an old sock (yes, it was clean), put my coffee in it, and boiled me some coffee.

I thought about that all day. Versatility, conquering the odds, creativity...then, I read Kyle's email about the attributes of folks who wiil/won't make it. I was encouraged to see I am displaying the right attributes to make it. Even writing in this blog is honing my writing skills, letting my online personality develop, and communication with folks...not sitting in a lonely corner, getting overwhelmed, feeling sorry for myself. WA is something to be worked at...I am making the conscious decision to stay at home with my kids, and earn the lifestyle that I want. So, I fill out auto insurance surveys, design a Celtic Dragon tattoo, and jump when I hear a kid stirring (which is now).

And, I boil my coffee in a sock. I did it again this morning. Hey, it tastes like coffee. And...it worked. like I know this learning curve is working. Am I thinking small...filling surveys is a means to an end. Is it hard to remain focused...you betcha. Frustrating to drop everything...yup, but when there is a dirty diaper to change or a kid to hug-priorities are priorities.

I want to remain true to myself and my goals. Keep at this. Any feedback is helpful. If I can do something better...please let me know. The big thing I am finding out is an open attitude, not shutting down and seeking help, and having the cup of joe...even if it was boiled in a sock. Cheers!
