Your post gives me a lot to think about. Shortly I will be on short-term disability as I contend with difficulties surrounding my heart disease. I am concerned with how to spend my days so that I am not worrying myself sick the next four months. While our situations are not the same, there is a little overlap. Hoping both of us find rest in the turmoil.
I really appreciate you sharing this, Dacy. I used to have these (romanticized? Delusional?) ideas that I could work and parent at the same time. But it turns out I don't have that kind of kid. Or I'm not that kind of mom? Or maybe it's just that we're not meant to do both at the same time! I recently gave up trying to double fist work and parenting and it's made a big difference in my overall mood, productivity and relationship with my child. 💖

Yes to that.

Absolutely! I think I tried for the first 3 years of my oldest’s life and periodically since then and it never goes well!!
Just joined- so excited! I’m already thinking about my two items :)
Yay!
