Let me introduce myself: I am mother of a wonderfully bright 2.5 year old. Expecting my second child in July, just became a professional in my field in December 2012. Many things going on, many changes and things I want to accomplish on my life. Which to do first? That is the haunting question. Because I already have a daughter I know my priorities are and will be my children.
It is a little difficult at times, because I just now found out that I am truly passionate in my new career. This new found passion makes me want to focus on my career, which as most mothers can relate, it's difficult with a baby/toddler in your life, especially when you want to be the best mother you can be.
It's especially difficult when your husband is also undergoing a career transition and trying to climb the corporate ladder. Definitely not the best situation but workable, let's hope.
So what can you do when you are in a situation that seems to be spreading you thin? Breathe. Enjoy your children = because that is (one) life you will have an impact on that truly matters.
Often reminding myself of this one little truth makes me feel content and ready to let the unimportant things go. Would that be considered professionally unfulfilled? Maybe, but it definitely brightens my day or soothes my sleepless night.
