Where's the Bacon?

So, it's a new year and I have not blogged in a while.  As I look back on 2010 and the new ventures in my life, I feel a sense of accomplishment, but with a hint of failure thrown in.  Yes, I was quite successful with my first semester back at school - this mama got straight As!  I was moderately successful at balancing that with parenting.  I was a complete and total failure at bringing home the bacon - turkey or otherwise.  That's right.  The new business is off to a SLOW start!  It's frustrating, to say the least, as we could use an extra helping of bacon to plump up our bank accounts right now.  While I feel the urge to be hard on myself for not being the sensational success I set out to be, I am going to try and resist.  It's only been a few months...I think I need to give it time.  Something we all could stand to do...slow down and give things time!  I have always been one to expect instant results from myself - I just laughed out loud at myself for saying that - I began my degree 17 YEARS AGO!!!!!  Not an easy pill for me to swallow.  I finished high school in 3 years.  I often skip steps for the end result.  This degree will be the biggest sigh of relief in my life and I guess I should stop asking myself where's the bacon and have a little patience in the process.  Happy 2011!
