Yesterday was kind of a bad day for me. Not because of the kids or any circumstances but just because. I was driving around town, I feel like that is all I have done lately, and an idea came to me.
I want to open a fabric store. I love fabric. I have yards of it tucked into many random places all over my house. Where I live has no apparell or quilting fabric store. Here is what I have invisioned for this store. It will be simple and clean. I want bright fabrics that are fun and girly! I want to also offer many boy fabrics as well. I want to have a couple of cute girl dresses displayed and people can come in and pick out the fabric they want and size they want for the dress. I will make them for you! I will also have a room where people that don't have a sewing machine can sew. I would love the store to be downtown or in a victorian house here. That has always been what I wanted in a store.
Well as I was driving yesterday, I thought of having an after school program. I would offer a after school pick up van and girls that want to learnt o sew can come for two hours after school. Then the idea just grew from there. I thought I could offer almost a home-ec type after school program. Baking, cooking, sewing, bookkeeping and helpful hints for cleaning. I have always had a heart for pre-teen and teen girls. I would only take about 15 girls and if I had a fabric store in an old victorian home I could have an awesome place for something like this. I would love if this could be a reality for me. But I get scared thinking of all of the loistics for something like this. And I know neither the store of the after school program will happen in the next year At least I don't think they will.
I just want to have it written down somewhere. I want God's will to be done in my life. If this is His vision for me I want do it. If not, I will gladly release this vision.

an update
I haven't written in a long time. I have been busy trying to keep up with my three children and just enjoying not doing anything.
We had a great summer, we went to the beach twice for a week each time. It was great and God really blessed me with great family. It was so nice to have my hubby for two weeks with no work involved. He is working so much lately. There are situations at his job that really need to be resolved but he doesn't want to say anything until God's timing because it could mean someone's job and ruin a friendship. I have been praying for favor and guidance for him.
My A started kindergarten this week. She has a hard time adjusting to new situations. She hasn't made any friends yet. The sub in her class said she plays by herself. But I think part of it is because her teacher has been out all week. She knows her teacher outside of school and is confused why she hasn't been there. The teacher's husband had to have 6 bypasses on his heart. He is doing well now and should be home in the next day or so.
My J started 3 year old preschool this week two. He has had no problem adjusting and loves playing with all the kids. His class has four boys and eight girls in it. I think he feels right at home with all those girls!
I didn't realize M would have a hrd time adjusting but her nap time has been thrown off and cut short beause of school pickups. But we will figure it all out. She and I are having fun together!!
A and J both had big birthday parties this year. J's was an airplane theme and A wanted princess and pirates. They had a blast. I love havin friends and family together to celebrate my children. M is next and I haven't figured out what Iw ant to do for her yet. I have a week or two before I need to worry about it.
Emotionally I am doing great. I think gos healed me in the areas I was struggling with. Being able to talk my hubby while at the beach was much needed and he had to help me with all three kids. I am learning my limitations with the children. I know I can't take the shopping unless it is less than ten minutes in the store. When we do activites I am learning how to stop if I can feel myself getting frustrated at them.
God has been good and is bring me to a place of peace in every area of my life. I am excited by all His has in store for my family.
