Is it Possible?

As I sit here blogging away on my laptop one question keeps coming back to me. Is it possible?

With all these passing years of me being at home and constantly available to my 4 kids will they get used to the idea that even though I am in the next room I am working, unavailable for their every need and whim. Even as I type (and try to think fo the right words) my four year old wants a snack, my seven year old wants a bath and my thirteen year old is resisting all attempts that I have made for her assistance.

Oh, I can see that things will get worse around here before they get better. That I will have alot of adjustments to make before they take me seriously and that its going to indeed be a "balancing" act between work and family.

But... in the end I have a gut feeling, call it womens intuition that it will all be wort it in the end. I need my independence and they need to be more independent of me. It will be a struggle...but ahh, in the future we will all look back and be better and stronger for the journey.

Back, to reality -- I have to keep that "balance" in check and give baths hand snacks and provide lectures for growing young minds. LOL. Life is good.
