I Think This Might Be a Demotion

Ok, all that fire and passion and interest and my business is officially on the back burner for now.

I still write some freelance stuff and do odds and ends, but it’s the Internet equivalent of working a job that’s so part time the other employees are pretty sure your mom made you take the job to learn responsibility, not because you need a paycheck.

But it’s all the husband’s show now….and he seems to be taking to the stage like a duck to water. Meetings of all sorts – client, potential client, team, and networking – take up extra time here and there that he would normally use to catch up on Mafia Wars.

Okay, I admit it, I don’t think he plays Mafia Wars but you get my point.

Maybe in other families both spouses go after their dream at 100% full speed – even when they have kids – because they’re just so Type A Personality that they don’t have any other option but to do everything to the absolute max. Maybe I have unrealistic expectations.

Recently, though, I realized I like spending time with my kids. They’re pretty cool and I enjoy their company. So if I get to focus on my kids, do household accounting, keep us on our debt snowball, AND help my husband by making great business cards and being secretarial staff and doing an amazing job….why not?

Everything is looking pretty good so far :)

    I am sure that if you are like me, you already do all those chores that you mentioned, not including, cook, driver, personal PDA… and I am not talking about the kids either! :)

    Yep. You are 100% correct. I feel like I have ten jobs and they all pay less than minimum wage LMAO

Got something to say?
