Finding balance in the chaos.

Hi everyone,

So I went Premium on Saturday morning. I'm super excited to see what I can learn here at WA. But as a stay at home mom of 3, and a full-time caretaker of my mom with COPD, I am still trying to sort through how I will juggle my time here. My fiance works out of town through the week so its just me. I know I plan on taking the weekends off so that we all can spend time together, which is super important to me. Athough I am eager to get to where I want to be, I also want to make sure that I dont miss all the small moments in between. Those moments with my kids that I will never get back such as reading books, listening to their stories, or snuggling in bed for a few extra minutes. Before long they will be too big for these things and I have to make sure I dont miss them. Also I have to find time to spend with my very sick mom, and my fiance that we only get to see 2 days a week, as of now. Oh yeah....... and I have an extremely hyper-active chocolate lab.

It's Monday and my 2 oldest kids are out of school for a teacher workday. The house is chaotic as is most days. Every few minutes I get up to check on them or break up a fight. Today makes me realize that summer break is right around the corner and this will be my every single day until school starts back. It'll be interesting trying to keep them fed & entertained all summer. There is also house work, doctors appointments, softball, & tumbling that we must keep up with.

Anyway....Today I started Course 2, Lesson 1. I watched the "getting started as a Premium member" video, tried coming up with a few domain names, researched a few websites related to my niche, read a few blogs. I guess thats enough for today. Living on one income can be pretty stressful too, so I am still trying to figure out how I will fund this membership, and come up with the money to buy a domain name. I know it will all workout somehow. These are just my thoughts for the day. If anyone has any advice for me please let me know.

Thanks so much,

Jennifer
