Mamahood

I love being home with my LM, but I really wish I had more time to work. My workdays (or nights) begin around 9:30 when my son has finally fallen asleep. I usually have to get a few things done, so the time I conk out at the computer is actually around 10 p.m. It’s hard to get work done at that time of night. Usually I’m exhausted from a day’s work of keeping up with the LM.

I don’t mean to complain–not at all. Especially when you hear moms with three or even six kids squeeze a working lifestyle in their mamahood. I don’t know how they do it. I would like more time during the day to work. Just anytime when the caffiene is flowing and I can sit down and focus.

I’ve applying for some writing and social service positions. I’m not sure where they’ll lead me but wish me luck. I really need to get out of this rut of working for just a few companies. The ones I work for are okay–one is very formulaic and the other has been offering stale titles to write about–but they pay on time. But I want to strive for more.
