I have been thinking a great deal about how difficult it is to be a mom and to start a new venture like Emerge. The time that I can usually work on it is after the kids go to sleep, and before I crash from sheet exhaustion. That means that I can do things like add to the directory or fiddle with the design, but I don’t have time to actually call businesses to find out how I can improve the site to suit their needs, or promote the Mama Trek text messaging program, or anything else that requires business hour calls or visits. I just keep getting ready for when my time will magically open up. I need someone to go to the birthing community to let them know about Emerge. I need to find someone who would be interested in maintaining the Wee Events calendar. I just keep doing a little here and a little there, and hopefully it will all come together some time this spring.
I am graduating with my masters degree in May, and am just astounded at being so close to finishing. I am taking two classes right now: Managing Risk, and Technology Forecasting. When I am done, and have my fancy degree, the funny thing is that I will not be going out and looking for a job. I just don’t have time! My babes are too small! It would cost a fortune to put them in day care. So, I am going to try to put my energy into Emerge, and finally not have to set it aside to do homework.
