Deadlines are good right?

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

In my former life...pre-children...I was a multi-tasking goddess!  Post children....multi-tasking challenged!  

What the?  Where the?  How the?  Honestly, my mind is constantly in a swirling direction...!  Thank goodness I have the best clients...best in patience, understanding and tolerant of the new mom of three.  

I've have had several plans in the works for marketing, newborn photograph ideas, creative children shoot ideas and a "How to" work a camera class.  My assistant, my sweet organized goddess assistant...has politely been on me to get these things going.  While I could have, should have, handed these projects to her...I'm way too much of a control freak to outsource this.  It is NOW that I'm finally starting to scratch the surface in taking control of these.  

That is where deadlines are good for me...the problem is...I typically don't get it done until the final days before the deadline set.  This actually isn't a new bad habit...had it through both my undergraduate and graduate course work.  So here I am....trying to attempt to meet my deadline while getting editing done...geesh...I only do it to myself.

While going through old files...I heard that song...."Through the years"...playing in my head.   I couldn't help but sniff at my wonderful clients I've watched grow and get to know during sessions.  I also came across pictures that sooooo needed some bloglight!

Here is one....ONE, that just grabbed my new mom of growing baby boy heart.  
Now...back to editing....

I LOVE looking at what time you do this every night. (11:00p) and just starting your editing. If you ask me you are the QUEEN of multitasking. You are a Mom of 3 running a successful buisness! You need sleep and then your brain will continue to pick back up lady. Keep up the good work, and cut your self some slack ;)

I love how you say politely...my hubby would call it nagging. However in his defense if he called me his assistant I would hurt him! Love you. Ps- could she have cuter kids-seriously!
