I only have one child. 2 1/2 But that's enough to make your world spin. In my previous post this morning regarding eating healthier, I had lots of suggestions of what to cook. Here's my dilemma and I know the same for lot's of you out there: time.
When you're a REALTOR, you do your best not to be reactive. But in the market we're in, it's every man for himself and take what you can get. So you run, you call, you market, you meet, you show, you list, you post you do do do. Then you get to go home to family
And you continue to do do do. Make dinner( or heat one up whichever is easier), clean house, clean baby, chase baby, entertain baby, do a dance for baby (although hubby likes that too), put baby to bed, do laundry, clean house more, plan for tomorrow and maybe sleep hoping you haven't forgotten a walk thru or empty spot in a contract somewhere.
I've received other blogs from single moms. I salute you with all my being. I was raised by a single mom and with a small child now, in this industry, I have absolutely no knowledge of how you do it. But you do. And our children still play soccer, go to girl scouts, have friends and eat macaroni and hotdogs for dinner. But we survive.
I personally would love to start a group for Mom's in the Real Estate business. I don't think you get the kudo's or support you deserve from either family or business and clients. The time management issue is for me a nightmare. Maybe it's easier for some of you. I'd love to hear some of your ideas and share them in a group situation where we can benefit from experience and sharing.
Whatcha think?
Anyone see a sippy cup around here anywhere?

Holly, on behalf of the Dads out there I want to request you open up your idea to all parents. There are lots of Dads (like me) who do all the Mr. Mom things too. Although my wife does help out with things around the house, since she has the 8-5 job (sometimes 8-6) it is up to me to be Super Dad.
I have three boys (13-12-7) and I do all the Doctor, Dentist appointments, I drop off/pick up at camp, do the grocery shopping, make most dinners, do the laundry, mow the lawn etc. etc. etc.
Lets here it for the Self Employed Parents, Moms and Dads!!!
