MIA
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.

My name is Michelle. I write, I shoot and I mom, not necessarily in that order. I'm aware that 'mom' isn't widely accepted as a verb but I think it should be.I'm a self-professed geek and caffeine addict. (Some may argue that the latter is a requirement of the former.) I live with my husband and our daughter in the California Delta.

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!
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.
