Forget everything I said about how easy it is to spend the days with the kids and write at night. That worked for about two weeks. The fact is, business is done during business hours. Sometimes there’s just no getting around that. What’s more, working at night means I get a lot less sleep than I’m used to, which, when I’m trying to keep up with the kids all day, is a serious detriment.
So I’m back to feeling stressed about trying to keep my own career moving forward while supporting my guy in his filmmaking work. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to do it. Daniel worked two jobs for two years while I got my masters degree. I am thrilled that the tables have turned and I can now support him in what he wants to do, but it is challenging.
In looking for things that could be cut, to make my life easier, this blog keeps raising it’s little hand, but the fact is I really like writing this blog. Still, we’re about to launch the Digging Deep Campaign website which will require some blogging, and the time may come that something has to go.
It’s a continual work in progress, this life/family/career. I just have to figure it out as I go along.
ps – I’m hoping to blog a little more about the film soon. I just need to pick Daniel’s brain a bit. They don’t start shooting until June 5. All I’ve heard recently is that the production office got a kick-ass espresso machine. Color me jealous.
