All is quiet…

People ask Mama all the time — when do you find the time to work and write? Well…it’s not always easy but it’s something that Mama MUST make time for because well…it helps contribute to keeping Mama sane. Being a Mama is the most glorious thing in the world for those that choose that path (and Mama says that because there are many out there that don’t choose to be a Mama…) — it’s fulfilling and so rewarding knowing that you’re raising these tiny human beings to hopefully do great things in the future. Yes, they are OUR future whether we like it or not.


However, for Mama there was still something that is also rewarding about being extremely busy and reaching for the stars on the career path. Mama always knew that one day, Mama would have kids but Mama’s career was also really important. There’s nothing that Mama loves more than spending money — therefore, it must be earned. Which to make a long story short is why Mama continues to burn the midnight oil (although these days it seems to be more the nine o’clock hour) and feel that wonderful satisfaction from getting a paycheck, getting a client a big media hit or just knowing that people actually want to work with Mama!


Which brings Mama to today…where all is quiet. Can’t you hear the silence in the house? No kids asking for this or that, no hum of the washing machine, no-one playing the drums downstairs while Mama bangs her own head against the keyboard trying to think of tomorrow’s great topic. It’s just silence and it’s GREAT! Both Lily-girl and Baby Boy are back in school and today is a great morning to get some pending items done…if Mama was thinking logically but instead Mama is so much more inclined to pull off the FUN list….


So if you were all alone in your house for the morning and we peeked in the windows…what would we see you doing with all your free time?


Here’s the logical list of to-do items that Mama could accomplish:

• Work — therefore not having to do it tonight BUT then what fun would tight deadlines be?!
• Laundry – too noisy when the silence is golden.
• Make the beds — why, we’re just going to sleep in them again tonight and no-one is coming over today.
• Clean out the toy room — this is a never-ending job and just doesn’t seem like something Mama wants to do — ever!
• Work on those baby books that Mama has been talking about doing all summer for both the kids — one of these days, one of these days…before they go to college, Mama promises.
