I miss you. I miss blogging. I miss the freedom and the comforting relaxation of it. You might wonder where I've been. I've been blessed is where.
Thanks to this little old blog I have running, I actually got a job. I get paid to write now. Although I'm doing less ranting, and more reporting, I'm actually getting a paycheck and often times am too burnt out from sitting at my laptop to even contemplate more writing.
The newest perk in "writing-for-a-living", if you will, is that I've been green-lighted to do a Parenting column. It seems as though someone might want to hear about what I'm dealing with.
I've been busy straddling the line between working (at home) and being a stay-at-home. It's harder than I thought. I'm also straddling the line with my privacy. Although I know many of my blog readers personally, there are some I don't and that's ok. It's all fun here. And you don't know me anyway. But as I'm paid to be writing under my name, my real name, in my real community, where I live and can actually come face-to-face with my readers, it leaves me a bit shy. Who am I kidding? I'm scared.
So if you are still out there, wondering if I'm ever gonna come back, find me at my virtual office. I could use all the support I can get.
And, don't fret, I plan to get back to the blogging forum soon. I have so much to tell you!
I have frequently censored myself with things I want to write about because of the people who read my blog. There aren't many, mostly family and a few friends. Sometimes it's those very people who are the ones you need to vent about.
ReplyDeleteI understand the balance. I do work from home, roughly 20 hours a week or so. It can be a struggle sometimes. When really all you want to do is go run around with the kiddos or even just get a home project done. The balance is there. You'll find it. I've been doing it for about 9 years (I did take a 18 month break in the middle and got a "real" job during my divorce). You'll find your stride. Good luck.
