This is the day we … what? What am I supposed to be doing?

Totally obvious realization: there are only so many minutes in a day.

Remember my days-of-the-week cleaning schedule — with built-in rewards like time for painting and facial-masking?

Well, it did not go so well. Let’s revisit last week, shall we?

Monday: Laundry … and Date Night with Darling Husband. We did no laundry.
Tuesday: Ironing … and painting We did go for a run, though!
Wednesday: Vacuuming/sweeping … and Spa Night* I worked late. Joy, joy.
Thursday: Mending … and craft night with the girls Worked late again. Arrrrgghh!
Friday: Clean the bathrooms … and sewing Caught up on the week’s TV and painted my nails
Saturday: Grocery-shopping … and scrapbooking Cleaned. Played Sims 3.
Sunday: Cooking/baking … and nail-painting Reading marathon

Looking at this list, I feel like a slacker. But that list doesn’t take into account the whole getting-up-at-dawn-to-write-for-two-hours thing. That makes me feel better.

This week, I haven’t been working (too) late, but I still haven’t stuck to the schedule! I played cards with Darling Husband on Monday, went for a run on Tuesday, cooked and watched TV last night, and will most likely crash in front of my DVRed America’s Next Top Model episode tonight.

I think I have learned a valuable lesson in overscheduling. Doing all of my chores on Saturday really isn’t that bad — and apparently I’m not capable of doing more during the week, but I’m OK with that.

I guess there is a reason that rhyme is no longer in fashion — who has the time?

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m a writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep them from taking over my life. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time with her writing. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
