I'm drowning in a sea of work and housework. Business has picked up and I can't seem to get into a good rythm. It's hard enough trying to give everyone their fair share of attention when your a stay at home mom. But, try doing that and being the owner/designer of your own business which includes marketing, designing, making,packaging and mailing out your own products. I know, I know there are many women who do this all the time but, I'm just not sure HOW they do it while staying sane.
There are many days when I wish I could escape to an office somewhere and clock in and out like a normal person. At least I would have peace and quiet so I could actually get focused and stay on task without being interuppted because little people all around me keep fighting over the ball or the soup is boiling over or someone needs a ride here or there.
Many days I wish I could just hire someone for each job I need to do. I honestly think it's much easier being the CEO of a business when you can just focus on that and nothing else. So, when someone tells me I had a hard day at work I say come be me for a day and we'll see if you don't just love going to work after that.
Don't get me wrong, I love being home with my kiddos but, I wonder if maybe I shouldn't be just doing that? Am I not giving them enough of me? Am I ignoring their needs to selfishly feel successful at something other than the most important job in the world? On the one hand I feel like once I had kids it was my duty to give up that selfish part of my life that was driven to be successful but, on the other hand I feel like if I give up that successful person all together I'll never be able to find her again.
I'm just in a place right now that I'm not sure how to get out of. HELP! How do you WAHMS do it?!
