Brock Blake talked a bit about MomPreneurs on his blog today and wondered how we all really do it . . .www.brockblake.com
Well- that's the big thing-- is being ok with what you don't do. There are concessions. No one can have it all. Luckily, women have been built to multi task - but I'm not a miracle worker and I'm not a genius, and I really don't care.
My house is messy a good 75% of the time. My work outs are hit and miss. Yes we had pizza and root beer for dinner tonight -- but last night we had smoked salmon, brown rice, corn on the cob and fresh peaches. You win some you lose some.
I've got 7 piles of laundry in my basement right now and I'm pretty sure there is a chicken McNugget somewhere in the back seat of the car. You'd never know it though because those things don't rot. They self preserve.
However with all of the madness comes this crazy bit of magic. The magic of taking an idea from the back of your brain and watching it materialize, and not only materialize, but hopefully make a difference for someone, somewhere along the way. One day it would be great for it to pay off monetarily, and when that day comes, I'm shopping at Costco and I'm buying whatever I want. Like a lifetime supply of toilet paper and fruit snacks. Until then, it's the random email telling me that whatever I've provided has made a difference that I get that makes me keep going.
Some might wonder if it's worth the additional madness -- I actually think it keeps me more sane. Lucky for my kids and my husband. AND it's forced me to adopt the strategy of being 100% there wherever I am . . . if that makes any sense.
The main thing is, your late to bed, early to rise and by the looks of this post I'm rambling. Good signal to call it a day!
