Shop's been set up nearly 4 weeks, and my babies are starting to forget what I look like.
I know the first few months... 12 months... 24 months are going to be hard going, but I'm not too sure how to balance it all out. I am spending every second adding stock, sorting orders etc (coughs.. and MNing ), and its clearly not going to do them any good.
Mornings are fine - DD has preschool, DS sleeps for most of it. But 2 hours or so a day isn't enough time to get everything done. They have spent most of the last couple of weeks playing nicely together (thankfully) whilst I am stuck to the laptop for the afternoon. I'm taking a break to fire lunch in front of them and to cook a dinner, but then I am back on for the evening doing more work.
This weekend I spent all of yesterday working, and managed to take today off until they were in bed.
My babies need me, my house needs me - I need DH to do more in the house but its a losing battle But in amongst all this I am loving it - my brain is being used, things are going well and I am good at what I am doing.
I want this (need this) to be a success, but I have no idea how I go about balancing things so my children have love, food and clean clothes and I can add stock, deal with orders and get things sorted.
I dunno what I need here really... m aybe a bit of "yup, been there" , and some reassurance that I can get through it and out the other side!!!
