Giddy

I am finally setting up my studio in our basement. We decided we couldn't afford to finish it and instead of leaving it empty and using it just for storage, I decided to make it nice and cozy. I've been losing myself in this parenting business, not having any where or anyone to turn to and now having a space to call my own has really turned a corner for me. I still don't have that much time and I can't obviously leave my girls and come down to the basement but late at night, when the house is all asleep, I can be myself again, be creative again, and be content again. I was happy with my little family but now I feel complete. I never wanted to lose myself when I had a family but it's so hard to do things for myself when I am so needed by the rest of the family.
It's not the best space, the basement is raw and cold but I put some rugs down and put on a sweatshirt and I'm happy as a clam.
