A Balancing Act

Yes the world is back in balance again...Paris is out of jail, Lindsey has extended her stay at re-hab, Britney is wearing panties again...and I, well I finally gave my notice to my boss earlier this week, and am currently, officially, as of today, a stay-at-home mom...

Now that's a role I never thought I would be in! A mom, yes, but a stay-at-home mom? Not me. But I guess life throws you a bunch of curve balls. My career was finally, finally really taking off. After years of paying my dues, I was finally an Art Director and managing, building, growing my own creative teams and projects. Then all of a sudden, I got pregnant.

The biggest irony of it all? As you know, I work as an Art Director for the Mouse, yes the big one. And so now I have the awesome Silver Pass that lets me and my family and friends go to the happiest place on earth anytime when we want, for F-R-E-E! And yes I enjoyed it when it was just me and the hubby, but now that we have a baby - I am losing it. Boo!

So let me hop on my soapbox and give my lil two cents in on that age-old question, can women really have it all? Yes, I believe so, and intend to. It's the panda in me. I just don't think it can all happen at the same time. Unless, you're Angelina Jolie, that is.

So right now, I decided it's time for me to stay at home with the baby cause like Aerosmith, I don't wanna miss a thang. For some moms, they're good for 2 months at home, then others take a whole year off. Me? I plan to be somewhere in between. I just want a bit more time with the lil one.

Well I guess I'm not completely a stay-at-home mom, since I'll be freelancing during my time off from work. So if anyone is in need of my design help, give me a holler! Oh that, and I also happen to have my own lil side business which occupies some of my time, so hmmmm, maybe I should rethink calling myself a full-fledged stay-at-home mom?

Anyhow...

As I said before, after years of paying my dues, I was finally an Art Director and managing, building, growing my own creative teams and projects. Then all of a sudden, I got pregnant.

So now after 9 months, I'm finally a Mommy, managing, building and growing my own little person, a young man. And all of a sudden, I'm really happy, truly content, and genuinely satisfied.

Yes the world is back in balance again. Thank you Paris.
