I am a Rubber Band - Always Bouncing Back

Today just wasn't my day and I don't think yesterday was either... but working from home is like that. Its not about today or yesterday, its about a choice. A choice to stay at home, raise my daughter, and be the provider at home for a husband who works 7 days a week. A choice to be passionate about a business that allows me to stay home, work from home and be my own boss. And like anything in life, this has its good days and its bad days. Most days I feel like a rubber band being pulled in a million different directions and not breaking or buckling at any tug.
Having a trying defiant toddler sure doesn't make it any easier. She is the light of my life, she is the cutest thing ever but lately I hardly recognize this little person that I raised. Is she having a long term out of body experience? Has she switched bodies with another child? I don't have the answer.

What I do know is that just because today was a bad day, it doesn't mean tomorrow will be as well. Just like being passionate about my business, I too am passionate about my little peanut and the joy she brings me, good days and bad. And really, when I think about, I feel like I gave birth to twins and have grown 2 babies over the past 2 years at the same time. The brave soul that I am, I decided to take on self-employment and start building a business when my baby was just a mere 4 months old. Although momstown Kitchener-Waterloo isn't a person, it is a living dynamic business that requires the same nurturing, feeding, attention, playing, juggling and yes, the sleepless nights that a baby demands. I have raised 2 babies for 2 years and naturally, not every day is perfect. I have to be honest here and say that a large majority of them are so awesome and both my babies are so rewarding but the odd day, is a bad day.

But just like that rubber band, I will rest and bounce back again tomorrow. And the next day. And the next too. This, afterall, is what motherhood and entrepreneurship are about, riding out the not so good and celebrating all of it!
