Ups and Downs ... just part of being self employed.

I have been teaching Daisy Birthing classes for 16 months now and Daisy Baby for 
3 months and I can honestly say that I've had no regrets at changing my career path. However, at the beginning of the week I was having a bit of a downer about being self employed. Being completely honest, business is a bit slow at the moment and I was just feeling a bit disheartened that things have gone a bit quiet given all of the hard work I put in to marketing and promoting the business. Whilst I didn't expect it to be easy and all plain sailing (in fact I knew it would, in some respects, be harder than being employed!) it can be worrying.

Snow Fun?

This time 15 months ago I'd have been rejoicing at the snow because, being perfectly frank, it meant a snow day off work whilst still being paid and time to have fun with the children! 

Whilst I still love the snow and the way the world looks under a pure, white, fluffy blanket, it is now only fun at the weekends when I don't have classes to run, because being self employed, no work means no money.

No easy task ....

Sometimes being a Mummy is no easy task. This week specifically has thrown up a decision I've needed to make which has caused many anxious moments, tears and doubt about whether I've done the right thing. I thought I'd share it with as I'm sure that most of you will have either experienced something similar or will do at some stage.
