Somehow working feels more justified when you hate it. I know it sounds weird but it's true. When you don't enjoy your job you're put out by it, of course you'd rather spend your time somewhere else, and people should feel bad for the amount of time you spend on the job that you hate.
I in contrast love what I do. I love it to the point that it energizes me. I generally come home from a meeting, an appointment or an event happier and more energized about my life, my family, and of course my business. It's weird (and maybe unhealthy) because I even feel guilty about the time I spend on my business . . . not because I don't spend enough time with my family -- but because I enjoy what I do so much that it feels like a hobby or time spent selfishly -- even though my business is both a thing I do out of passion and a thing that I do to help provide for my family.
TodaysMama recently did a survey involving fellow mompreneur's and found that the top things that fell by the wayside in their lives were hobbies and household chores. But they are extremely happy about what they are doing and pleased with the job they are doing as parents to boot. It's an interesting predicament to be in . . . but a good one. Scrapbooking can wait I've got my eye on growing my business! :)
