Pregnancy, Impending Motherhood and Life as an Internet Marketer
Written by kat on June 14, 2009 – 4:44 pm -If the title of this posts sounds exhausting, it’s because IT IS!
I have still not finished up at Ningaloo Blue (this is the place I still go to work for peanuts…. loooong story – but it’s kind of like an addiction – this has been my baby for so long – I got a small partnership there so decided to try and balance 3 days in physical office with 3 days at home on the internet with a day off for snogging and fishing with my beautiful fiance) -
BALANCE – huh, what is this balance word you speak of??
Yesterday I wondered off down to the beach and sunbaked in my bikinis with my overly large ‘BUMP’ freaking out dogs, kids and passers by – ok so not so glamourous – but god it was nice – at 5 months pregnant I figure – even if my bikini is riding up my ass and my boobs are barely fitting in to my top – it’s only set to get worse – so through caution to the wind and soaked up some sun. It really felt like the first time I had chilled out enough to connect with the little being growing inside of me – I guess it’s really only something you can understand if you have been there – it was just CALM…. which is also a bit of a foreign phrase in my life.
So, 5.30am rise today – straight in to the kitchen ‘nesting’ seems to be more important than anything else right now, pulling cupboards apart, clearing space all for the comfort of mummy, daddy and junior – who by the way – already seems to be taking up more than her fare share of space – geeze babies take up some room! Bottle warmers, breast pumps, bottle driers – the list goes on – I find myself constantly wondering where to put it all!! So anyway, this morning consisted of filling a recently purchased pantry, giving half of my office space to fishing crazed fiance (yes – the background to my up and coming training tutorials shall consist of a nice layout of fishing rods) – ***sigh***
INTERNET MARKETING
So you get online and become a gazillionaire right?! No, wrong, but it is a fun way to make money. The house where I’m not contending for space seems so close – but with a proposed trip around Australia when this rug rat is big enough kind of has me saying ‘make do with what you have’ it can be a very fine line to cross.
I just keep telling myself that everyone starts small…. it’s just how it is. SMALL is not really in my nature – BUT – knowing that if I suddenly have a marketing project fall flat on it’s face is not going to leave us financially ruined is a good enough reason to play it ’safe’ – ‘SAFE’ another foreign word – but with a baby on the way – stocking up the bank account with $$ seems more settling then buying a bigger place and preying to god that everything stays ok.
SO KAT – well Kat has decided that getting all stressed out about completing 5 different projects is absolutely ridiculous – right now my main focus has to be my family. My partner is fighting some of his own battles (supportive Kat has to be there), Ningaloo Blue Kat is trying to finish off the season with a record number of bookings and Internet Marketing Kat is starting to see the completion of a few drawn out processes, websites and products.
All in all though, I have decided that everything is still going to be there tomorrow and stressing out about getting everything done now is just not worth it. Finally, I believe I am looking BALANCE right in the eye!
Now, back to measuring up shelves for the kitchen and trying to coherse friends in to coming around to move stuff for me!
