Time For a Comeback?
I’ve been doing a lot of serious thinking lately about getting back to business. I sorely miss developing my business, keeping occupied with something so exciting and great as building my legacy and just having the contact with other like minded individuals here on the wonderful world of the Internet.
With the three grand children coming to live with us, that all changed and business became something of a lost dream for the past few months. Honestly, I didn’t know which way to go. Part of me almost resented the fact that I was now suddenly responsible for the care of three innocent little children. I thought that part of my life was a thing of the past, and that my future was in my business.
I sit here now, tonight, at my computer, trying to write this with a fussy, teething, eight month old on my lap while her brother, the two year old munches down a PB&J sandwich before bed. The almost four year old (the one with leukemia) is asleep on the couch after a day of not feeling well.
Is it possible to build a business with chaos in the house? I want it to be so. I have to believe it is so. I need it to be so. And I need someone to tell me it can be so!! (Besides my greatest supporter, my husband).
Where will the time come from? When can I possibly squeeze in the time I need to work on my business? I don’t know the answer yet. This is coming from someone who once woke up at 6 AM and hit the computer full speed ahead until noon, then again from 4 PM to 10 or 11 at night, six or seven days a week! Sometimes more!! Now, I wake around 7 AM to the sounds of an infant playing in her crib, sometimes peering over her rail at me and other times screaming for me to get my butt up and out of bed!
From there, it’s non stop kids! Change her, change him, feed them, change her, change him, dress her, dress him, dress the other him, stop and sigh, start again, and so it goes til 7 or 8 at night when the youngest two are in bed. Then it’s ’snuggle time’ with the oldest one who needs some special TLC from Grandma. Some nights I’m not sure which one of us falls asleep first, me or him? Some days I may actually find time to kiss my husband good morning!
Then there’s all the trips to the Childrens Hospital for lab work and chemotherapy at the clinic as well as the visits with the kids moms and their dad. Two mom’s, two days a week EACH! Well, that’s another story!
With all that being said, this post isn’t so much about is it TIME I make business part of my life as it is where will I find the time?
Anyone have an extra hour or two they aren’t using to throw my way?
