It's Supposed To Be The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

In the last few weeks I've realized that one person can't do everything. It all started when I seriously considered giving up my online business twice in the same month. Honestly, I feel like I can't keep up anymore. With several blogs to update, massive amounts of contests to post, reviews to be written, emails to respond to, new articles to be written, and administrative duties to be completed it's a wonder I'm still here. I want to be here. I want to do this I just won't put work before my 2 boys any longer. They come first and always will. I guess I should also mention that since we also homeschool, our kids are at home every day while we work at home everyday which kinda throws the whole productivity idea out the window.

So, for the new year I'm desperately seeking balance. Whatever that may be. I also need to work on being focused, saying no, and realizing when I'm taking on too much. Where do you draw the line when it comes to opportunities that are out there? It seems like so many WAHMs (myself included) take on so much in hopes that one of those opportunities will catapult us into something greater.

Starting tomorrow evening I'm taking off a week or two. I'm doing nothing but spending time with family, doing some last minute shopping, watching my favorite Christmas movies, eating lots of bad but delicious foods, making cookies, and generally just lounging around until the Christmas eve festivities begin.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season and a very happy new year. See you in '09.
