Yesterday I finished a fairly long translation on injection
fuel systems in cars – I know, I really hit the jackpot this time as far as interesting
subjects go! - and when I looked around me (kids and house a mess) I decided to turn down any further jobs this week. Although I
don’t like turning down the money, I need a breather. I need to restore or even
improve the house and make some organizational rearrangements, I need to recharge
my energy (physically and emotionally), focus on the boys’ education and
general well-being, blow some life into my husband who seems to be stuck in a
kind of vacuum, and potty-train Abraham (none of the other boys were wearing
diapers at his age, and although I’m all for individual development, enough is
enough!).
That work/life balance is always a challenge. Kudos to you for responding so well.
