Does Work Take Over?

Posted on 18. Jul, 2008 by The Mommy Circle in Misc.

I was catching up on twitter just now and came across this post: Thank You To My Mommy Blogger Friends by one of my twitter pals, Arika.

And as I read it, I too realized a few things. One, my blogger friends like Nell whether she knows it or not really helps me see things clearly and I do appreciate her sharing her life and trials and joys both personal and business.

Then I got down to the part about Annette. Although I don’t know her very well. I do know she is a very kind hearted woman. Arika’s admissions really hit home with me. I too desperately want to find that balance between business and family. My kids are so very important to me they deserve my time and attention.

It is so very easy to let work take over. Summer is almost over and have I spent the summer doing the things I wanted to with the kids? Have I given them the time they deserve? I wish my answer was a confident yes but it isn’t. I still have time to make it up to them. I’m going unplugged for a whole week. Yes, I’ll go through withdrawl I know lol but my kids are more than worth it. Then we’ll have a few more weeks to get some fun stuff in.

I just have to find that balance and keep it as my first and priority goal.

Unfortunately Nan, this is a common problem of many WAHMs and I’m so glad to see I’m not alone.

That’s great that you’re going to unplug for a whole week - Have a great time and I’m with you, let’s enjoy what’s left of this summer shall we?
