too many hats

I seem to have let time get away from me again. It's been almost a whole week since I posted, and the last post last week wasn't even mine! I think I've been wearing too many hats lately and stretching myself too thin.

Hat number one:

Wow, this is hard, which thing do I define myself as first. I guess I will go with the "job" that takes up most of my time. Mom. Once you pop out that kid (and kind of before) you are a mom forever. You can't really stop and there are no sick days or vacation.

Hat number two:

Wife? I'm not going to lie, this is probably the job I have been skipping out on the most since Miles was born. I know I'm not doing the best job at it and I hope I don't get "fired". In this category I'm also including all the household crap, cleaning, cooking, shopping, whatever. My husband and I share these tasks fairly evenly, but sometimes it feels like it's all on my shoulders (even though it isn't).

Hat number three:

Full-time LPA (Licensed Psychological Associate). And by full-time, I guess that means four days a week which is what I am usually scheduled. This job, on paper, is from 9am to 2pm, but I'm frequently doing work at home after Miles goes to bed and sometimes before he goes to bed.

Hat number four:

Extreme part-time assistant interpreting behavioral data. I just picked this back up, I was doing it when I found out I was pregnant with Miles, but stopped due to how EXHAUSTING pregnancy was. It is only 20-30 hours per month, but within a two week period, not throughout the whole month. The time I have to do this is when Miles naps on my days off and after he goes to sleep at night.

Hat number five:

Amateur/professional photographer. This is a (mostly) joint effort with my husband and myself. There is a lot of marketing and things required for this one, but we are mostly getting referrals from word of mouth. We've had...one...paying gig but I'm trying to gear things up and get some business for a Valentine's Day mini session. Check us out on Facebook.

Hat number six:
Blogger. This is why it is almost 9:30pm on a Thursday and I haven't yet posted this week. Please forgive me and hang in there. I would love for this to make money one day so I'm also spending a lot of time trying to figure this whole blogging thing out.

This post isn't a "thrift thursday" post, so sue me.

How many hats do you wear?
