This past Thursday, my children gave me a run for my money. I had 2 deadlines to meet, just signed up with a new marketing company and wanted to figure it all out, was on a crunch because I had a wedding rehearsal, bridal shower and wedding to attend Friday & Saturday and THIS was the day they decided to:

:issue: social life

I am finding it sooooo difficult to balance. Keeping up with my friends social activities, keeping up with my family and keeping up with my business. This week I had a few major deadlines to meet, a wedding rehearsal, a bridal shower, a wedding, a birthday and a funeral. Clearly my business & family have to come first. Some of the times, family over business and at other times business over family time. But when it comes to choosing business over friends events, sometimes this isn't understood. This week I chose not to attend a funeral... My mind ran through the process of "Well, he's not living anymore, so he will have no idea I didn't attend. Plus I didn't even know the guy!" Almost every time I attend a party, I am up until 5/6am the night/morning before trying to crunch in all of my work so I won't lose out on doing too much the few hours I am attending the party.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else can relate... Off to a b-day party :)
