Can you have your cake...

and eat it too?

Just a little Sunday morning thinking. James is unsure what he plans on doing for a job. He needs to figure something out that he is interested in that he can do instead of electrical and make a plan to get there. It makes me start thinking about the original plan and our roles. For a while I thought I could handle switching roles and once the baby is born, for me to work. But I don't think I could really. I'd end up being a grouchy poop. Because of my personality, I'd want things still to be done the way I'd do them. If something isn't done, I take it on myself to get it done...which would make me exhausted to take on that supermom role. I already get exhausted but at least now I'm not resentful. Which I think I would end up being. Anyway, I still like photography and honestly have been a little lazy on the making money side of things. I've kind of waited for money to come to me...not tried to go out and get it. Or implemented any of the plans to make money. So my goal for the week is to come up with a business plan. Time to stop being willy nilly! (i love that term!) Figure out what I want and then plan for it...and hopefully get there by the end of 2010. That has been the year that I've had in my head for a couple years now. So if I can get things rolling in the way I want by next summer, I think that'd be fantastic! I've kept myself down a little bit by keep saying that I need to be better first. Obviously, I think I should keep learning. But I have a few friends that are less consistant, with less quality and make 90k+ a year. So that gives me motivation. How could this solve James needing to figure out what he is doing? I don't know really...but this is my jumble of thoughts. How do I start making more money while keeping the family as a priority and not burn myself out? Business plan is necessary.
