People who read this blog regularly might remember that one of my freelance sources dried up. I've been dragging my feet about finding a replacement for it, and there are quite a few reasons for that:
Well, it's time I weigh my goal against all those reasons for not replacing the work. The hardest reason to get past is the last one; I don't want all of my daughter's early memories of me to be just seeing the back of my head while I plug away at the computer.
But I know I just need to find a way to balance it all: Baby time, hubby time, work time, hobby time, etc. Otherwise, our financial situation is just too precarious to be comfortable. And really, my husband and I would both like to teach her to do better than we did.
- I'd like to concentrate on my hobby, beadwork.
- I really liked the freelance work I was doing through that company (Demand Studios) and still have a slight degree of hope that maybe, just maybe, there will be more work coming soon. However, DS has changed how it handles projects, and as a result, hasn't needed my skills for about six months now. It's probably time for me to just write DS off.
- I've tried a few other places that just didn't pan out, and the thought of going back to scouring the web for legitimate, reliable opportunities just makes me tired.
- I'd rather spend my time at home playing with my daughter rather than working.
