I picked up my sister and niece this morning to go to our gym class, we haven't hung out in a couple of days since I have been swamped with work. I went on to tell her how my hours are starting to catch-up to me and being a mom and cooking and cleaning while working is adding more stress. I can't keep doing this all and keep my same routine something has to change. Maybe you see how other mom entrepreneurs are doing it she says. Well, I responded, I don't think successful entrepreneurs are really cooking or cleaning or doing school pick up and drop off. They also pay more for full time help and I don't see them running around in the morning doing all the activities I do with my kids. Yes, she said, they do. You're not a unicorn.
Just then her daughter starts to cough. We think she's chocking on her bagel. I ask her if she's ok and she responds but then starts to vomit. My sister can't really turn around to help her due to her collar bone injury so I say calmly it's ok and pull off the road. I quickly pull her out of the car seat and talk to her while making sure she's really not chocking. She's fine now but a mess. So I put her in the back seat of my mini van and change her. Wrap her in my jacket and a t-shirt I had in the car I clean her up and my sister says "wow you handled that like a pro. Maybe you are a unicorn"
Now all jokes aside I have three kids. The more kids you have the more organized your brain gets in situations but yes I like to believe I have a special talent and haven't yet figured it out but I will succeed while not having to give up my whole purpose being me, an entrepreneur, a mom, a somewhat stay at home mom, working mom, craft mom, baker mom and sane unicorn mom.
