    Over the past two years I have come to a realization.  I can not do everything.  There are so many thing that I want to do.  I want to draw and knit and scrapbook and sew and have a garden and cook for my family and keep my house cleaner.  I can not do all of these things.  There is not enough time in my life to do these things.  Before I had a baby there was not enough time to do all of these things.  I think that other people have more than one hobby but I have not been able to figure out how they do it.  I have tried to make schedule but once I fit all the house hold items in there is hardly if any time for the other things.  There are people who can do it though.  I see them on other blogs.  Do these people not have lives.  Are they gifted when it comes to scheduling and multitasking.
    Besides the things that I already know that I love to do and don't have the time for there are tons of new things that I want to try.  Each of these new things has supplies and tools that one would need to do them.  How do people afford it and were in the hell are the putting all of that stuff!
    I suppose most people just choose one hobby and stick with it.  I imagine these are the people that always have the time for there hobbies and the money to spend on them.  How did these people do it?  How did they choose just one way to express themselves creatively?  Do they not dream of other hobbies?  Maybe they never wish that they had learned to paint or make pottery, or work on their own car, or decorate their child's birthday cake themselves the way I do.  Maybe they do but it does not not haunt them the way it does me.  That is how I feel sometimes, haunted by all the things that I have never tried.  Maybe there are others out there like me. I would hate to think that I am all alone.  Lost in a world of things to try and never enough time to try them all.
