Mamamadethem.wordpress.com Website Review

nothing that we do, no amount of toys that we buy or quality time or special training we give our children, can compensate for the freedom. the christmas in july sale is officially over at mama made them. now i just need to get everything made in before i go on vacation in a few yesterday i was feeling the crunch of time and the weight of my orders, when my son asked me if we could go to the pool. i said, no, we have too much to do, but i’m planning on a pool trip tomorrow. today we were going to the fa*mer’s market (he loves going to the fa*mers market because we can see our fa*mer friends). he pouted. but as i went down to the basement, sweating behind my dust mask, i fell prey to the siren song of summer: “just relax, don’t work so hard, play!” so i cut out a sheep for a puzzle, but set it down, went back upstairs and said, “we’ll go for an hour.” and that hour was lovely. then we went to the market, and came home to cook up a feast. but i never made it back to work in the evening as i had planned. but i don’t regret skipping out to go for a swim on an oppressive day in july. but i need to find a way to get back to work in the evening on busy days. because despite the peace and tranquility of the days when my business was not requiring as much work, i prefer the peace and tranquility of not worrying how i’m going to pay the electric bill. working from home as a single homeschooling parent is a constant balancing act. i had to laugh at this article is the hardest part of her homeschooling. her solution was to work less. i was disappointed with the article, because it seemed to sell her kids short. and it didn’t really address the issue of balancing work that you have to do with the work of your home life. it just said work less. which is a great solution: if your husband already has a job, if you aren’t in need of all the money (and more) that you can bring in, if you want to work less. but if you really would benefit from working more, it didn’t offer any solutions.
