Having 2 hours twice a week to myself to get things done is fabulous!! Just leaves me wanting more. Is that wrong?? Should I be missing my kids so much that 2 hours is too long? Sometimes I feel like there is something wrong with me if I don't, but I am gonna admit there are days I wish everyone (and I mean everyone) would go away and if they wanted to stay away for a weekend I would be all for it. Hey, I gotta have some time that is just for me right? Isn't that why girl's weekends were created? Can you have a girl's weekend for 1. Oh, what I could create! Just me, some really good movies and my art table...I am getting wistful thinking about it. sigh...
It's a learning curve alright. Then again I wasn't really good at the balancing act when I worked full time for someone else, but that is a different post. Right now, I am trying to learn how to balance having 2 kids (ages 3 and 5), rescue dogs, keep up with the house work, create, and manage this new business. My Mom would probably tell me to cut out the rescuing dogs aspect for a while, but underneath she is just as much of a softy as me - and believe it or not the dogs are the easiest part of the equation.
As for the kids...Having them make their own creations with me works part of the time, until their attention wanes. They love to 'work' with Mommy and that is helpful, but I could use more ideas and I am sure others probably do too. So let us know! Share your ideas on how you entertain the munchkins while getting the everyday things done in life!
