Does Paperwork Count as Art?

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Aug 3, 2009

As much as I’d love to have creative moments sprinkled into my daily routine, that’s just not realistic. There’s too much going on around me that I have control over, that I don’t have control over, and that just swoops in when I least expect it to happen. As a result, finding creative moments on a monthly basis is more in tune with how life is rolling around here.

This will change, though, once school starts. Then, creative moments will be able to happen as soon as my children come home from school everyday. We jump right into homework assignments after a snack is enjoyed, and then we work on something creative. This can range from anything to a simple drawing for their grandparents, or something more extensive. It all depends on what else is happening that day.

So today, the only creative time I had was filling out what seemed like an endless stack of paperwork. It was huge. On the plus side, though, it’s finished!
