WAHM Weekend

It’s been a heck of a week and Sunday is always both an ending and beginning for my week. This weekend was pretty good – I managed to catch up on most of my work from the past week, host a birthday party for my two-year old and get hubby off to a work rotation. He’s finished working in the NWT and now he just takes calls and hopes for any shifts he can get, so when the call came for this one we were grateful – even though he’ll miss BigBoy’s birthday in a couple of weeks

Having the flu last week was a real wakeup call to me, about my health and my business. For my health, I suffered far worse from the flu than the kids, and it’s clear to me I need to work a lot harder on taking care of myself and building up my immunity so I can handle illness a little better. I was reading over at A Cowboy’s Wife about Lori’s desire to lose weight and was reminded that this is absolutely critical for me right now. I know that eating healthier will help me lose weight and feel better!

Workwise – I was reminded that a wahm cannot be an island. I am not always that busy with work, and yet I was having serious trouble keeping up with even the few things that absolutely had to be done while I was ill with the flu. I had to cancel a conference call and had to take an extra couple of days on one particular project. So this week I’m starting to train someone to assist me a bit more, so as the workload grows (and I did manage to sign another client last week!) I can get help with at least some of my tasks.

Now, as much as I want to keep writing, I have to get back to catching up on my work and need to clean my house to start the week off fresh!!
