The Aha moment finally happened (for about the 100th time) and revealed some much needed creative direction and focus In my quest at being the world's greatest working-mom (if there is such a thing). I desire to make the absolute most of it and balance the whole life-work-balance act! I am enlisting the help of all supermoms, acrobats, fortune 500 executive moms, mompreneurs, and the like to aide me in this great calling and mission. I will no longer feel guilty about leaving my children in the morning and returning late in the evening to sad faces or desperate pleas to "tuck me in", but I will now embrace my temporary position in life as a working mom and meet it with great vigor, enthusiasm, and a willingness to superceded this great challenge. When I say challenge, I must clarify, this is a labor of love as I dont take my family for granted. I am not alone in this journey. My wonderful better half is an entrepreneur with a flexible schedule which makes a perfect partenrship for raising a healthy, happy, and beautiful family!
Okay so what's the issue? My issue is that as a working mom of course you have to deal with leaving your children to the world of school and life while you work for someone else (doing the work of 2 or more people) at the expense of negating some household duties, preparing quality meals, homework instruction, quality time and parenting, and some wifey duties (I'm too tired). However, does all have to be sacrificed? No, not at all! With careful planning, intention, effort, with a strong willingness and desire to maintain quality, very little if anything has to be neglected. I have committed to uping the ainty on my motherly duties such to the point that I will become expert. Not expert by public validation, but by the validation (or lack thereof) by my own family.
So, I embark on this journey to chronicle my efforts at being the SUPER working-mom! I am a wonderful mom (if i do say so myself and so do my children). I intend to master this common phenomenon of working while mothering, managing awesome children, a husband, and a household. Wish me well, I 'll keep you posted : )
Yes I CAN!!!!!!!!!!!
