Work Life Balance. I Have It.

I have never been more exhausted in my life, but I've also never felt so in control or so balanced.

There are days I get up at 5am to start my work and don't close my laptop in triumph until 2am. There are times when I have so many meetings that the commute alone ties up my most productive hours of the day. There are moments that I'm certain I've over extended myself and I eat several donuts and pasta dishes to slow down my panicked heart rate.

I love it.

It's a blessing to have this opportunity and even though it all worked on paper beforehand, I'll admit that with every paycheck made out to Rumore Has It, LLC I am slightly surprised and amused that this is working!

I am working more hours, and the hours are more non-traditional than most people keep, but that means that I can spend my time with my family during the hours that it makes the most sense. Before starting my own business I got to see them at night and on weekends, and now, I have an option. I'm free to volunteer at Dylan's school every week and to take Lylli to Mommy and Me classes.

I'll work at 2am for the rest of my life if it means that I can have the flexibility to be with my family during the hours that matter most to me.

I'm completely exhausted from work, but for the first time I can say that I am getting sincere satisfaction from all of my efforts.

The greatest benefit is being able to be there for my precious babies and gorgeous husband whenever they need me...but the paychecks are pretty sweet, too.(Duh. Mama's got bills, y'all!)
