increased effectiveness now that I'm a Mom

The creative process really does start anywhere for me, but especially at home. My son provides such a pure joy for me, that finding flexible ways to work to support us uses my creative skills to their max. I have always been a very good worker/employee, revered for my time skills and for working hard. I feel like I am a more effective and more head smart worker now that I am a Mom. I really understand the value of time and how to manage it.

Everything changes, but for the best

So, I've decided to start to blog on a daily basis more as a way to get the creative juices flowing for myself than anything else. But, my hope is that something good will come out of this to fuel my idea of the "new" woman of this era and what it's like to be a mom now.

I was home with a very sick son for the past few days. It's the toughest thing to see your child suffer. He was hospitalized and had to have 2 IVs. The worst was when he had to have them removed. He just screamed and screamed and all I wanted to do was climb into his body and suffer for him!

One of the toughest things I've ever had to do is be a Mom. I know it sounds corny, but I am a strong woman, and I feel as though not much has shaken me as hard as becoming a Mom. One of the toughest things about it is that you want to be a Mom, you're pregnant for nearly a year and expecting that whole time, then Boom! One day, you're a Mom! Everything changes. Not for the worst, either, it just changes. Somehow, everything other than that little being in your arms is less important than it ever was. It's amazing!
