Summer time blues
June 25th, 2007 by LeslieThe girls are on a break from their “Mothers morning out” program, so there is A LOT of mommy-daughters time going on. I know the program is only 9 hours a week, but I really think it’s just the break the 3 of us need. I’m starting to feel like we are all driving each other crazy. The girls are fighting more, mommy is a little more stressed, I’m trying really hard to keep them occupied with Story time at the bookstore, trips to the Aquarium, the Children’s Museum, and lots of crafts and cooking but I can’t help but feel like they might be getting sick of me! As “mompreneurs”® we are always striving for balance with our work and our family and I can’t help but think that our children are also in need of balance between their work (work at being a kid) and family. Maybe they are more edgy because they are used to a certain routine and since we are breaking from the “norm” they are acting out more. Who knows! I can figure out how to turn an idea into a physical product and bring it to market, but every single day I’m still baffled by the challenges of motherhood. It really is the hardest job in the world… and even harder to do it “right”… whatever that means. Boy oh boy, I hope I’m doing it “right”!
