Work / Life Balance is a fairly new corporate world buzz word.
It's impossible.
I'm home today with a little boy who has a big fever. He wants cuddles and smooches and for his mama to sit on the couch with him and watch Disney. And I did. And when he was hot and sleepy and in the midst of nightmares, I sat at the table and did my job... from home. I got up several times to get him his medicine, to rub his back to make the nightmares go away and I gave him the fluids he needed, but then I sat right back down to work.
I tried to balance my clients with my kiddo and I really stink at balancing them both. Cause when I'm with my little guy, I know there are people waiting for some deliverable or another and when I'm working, I know my little guy just needs me to hold him.
Work / Life Balance? Not so much. Work / Life Guilt. You betcha.
