Unstoppable
I have three wonderful kids. A seven year old boy, a three year old daughter and a six months old baby girl. They are my daylight and my sunshine. They make me laugh,they make me proud, they make me wonder, forget everything around. They inspire me.They fulfill me and give me an answer to the meaning of life.
That is all very philosophic and although it is also true, we have to face it: daily routine with three little kids is physically and mentally challenging and demanding...
The end of the day is here and the task of putting three little children to sleep is awaiting me. Bedtime means - tidying up the house (a little) together with the kiddos, bathing, brushing their teeth, reading a story and waiting for the two little ones to fall asleep.
So, while nursing my baby girl and massaging my three-year-old daughter`s back, I am already dreaming about a nice warm and sweet cup of tea (yes, it has to be sweet) in total quietness...
That is the point when time seems to stand still and although I know that any minute they will all be asleep and I will be able to move out of my very uncomfortable sitting situation, I always have the thought -what if they won`t fall asleep??
About that.
Yesterday I put down my sleeping bundle of dynamite, very carefully, so it won`t explode. This task fulfilled, I arrived downstairs to prepare my tea and turn on my computer to finally start working\training, and - yeah you already guessed.
She woke up..
Sounds familiar to anybody?
There are days when I start working past 10 and 11 pm.. after being a wife, mom, housekeeper, cook, psychologist, teacher, listener...you know, all day long.
But I am quite sure I am on the right path for building a future for my family with what I am doing here. And since I am with WA, I believe in it even more..
We have to take things easy and with humor sometimes. After hard times follow easier ones, but if we lose ourselves in the hard times and give up, we will never make it. Struggling and lack of time only makes us stronger, faster and more efficient in what we are doing.
So for everybody who is also fighting his or her way to the top:
You can if you want to. And you will if you want to.

Hi Daniela, that time can be challenging and without really knowing you I would say from reading your post you will be up for the challenge.
WA is the place where we can learn, we have all we need to achieve.
Time can be pressed just take a deep breath and carry on, it does work its self through. Look forward to reading about your successes.
