A Tale of 2 WAHMs

In the beginning of my online journey I worked way too much. My work hours were “when I was awake”. Oh of course I took good care of my kids, and tending to them was my breaks. But I soon went into complete overload and literally made myself sick.

Now I feel like I’m not working too much, but rather way too little.

I think I’ve been using summer as an excuse not to do anything. Some days I think, “well I’ll only be here a few minutes so no use starting anything”. Which is part true, you can’t really dive into massive time consuming projects when you only have 20 minutes before walking out the door. Although there are days when I really could be doing more than I am, and I’m just not.

I don’t know how I got so lazy. I really don’t. It’s not as if I don’t have anything that could be done, it just doesn’t sound appealing. Seems as though I just get done what absolutely MUST be done, then blow off all the optional stuff. Bad, very bad.

Maybe this will all change once school starts. Maybe once the house is quiet again and we’re back in routine I’ll be able to find my motivation. Just two weeks of summer left, and then I’ll have both kids in school every day. (Ahhhh! WAIT! BOTH kids? When did my babies grow up?). Just like last year, I’m sad to see them both growing up so fast, but am REALLY looking forward to the peace and quiet.

Right now I’ve got to focus on hanging on for the next two weeks. Aside from a trip to the local amusement park and my birthday (which will be nothing but a lunch, unless we decide to go to Adventureland that day), we’ve accomplished just about everything we set out to do this summer. No trying to cram it all in the last 2 weeks! Making a list at the beginning of the summer was the smartest thing I ever did.

So what’s on the agenda today? Attempting to get my rear in gear that’s what. I still have promotional work to do on my newer site. That is, unless I decide we need to go grocery shopping today.
