Ah, so much for keeping to schedules. The last few weeks haven’t been the greatest when it comes to work-life balance. Got gobsmacked by some personal stuff and as a result, got a bit over my head with work. Not good considering it is just January. I took a week “off” (ie. not taking or looking for any assignments) from writing to get my head screwed on.
I have to admit that during this week “off”, I didn’t do much of anything, including writing for fun. I’m sort of kicking myself for this now because I feel like I’ve wasted time that I could have used to do something, well, useful. I’m sure that I did more than “just” take care of The Little Empress, something that I’ve discovered is becoming more challenging. TLE fits the classic definition of being “high needs” and I confess that it has been leaving me drained both mentally and physically By the end of the day, I am just plain exhausted by trying to keep up with her.
I’m hoping to get back into a better frame of mind this week, get some more stuff done without feeling like I’ve been beat down. *sigh* Here’s to trying.

It recharged TLE’s batteries, that’s for sure! She loves being able to have 100% of Mommy’s attention and time. Of course, now we’re both sick. She’s unphased, I’m exhausted but that mean she gets to cuddle with Mommy more so she loves it all the same.
First off, I highly doubt that you actually didn’t do anything for a full week…and even if it were true, that might just be a recharge you and TLE need after being together blissfully for a full week!
