It has been a crazy last few weeks, full of things I needed someone to watch one of my children for. Mostly doctor's appts. I have my children with me almost all of the time. I don't do very many things, if at all that require me to be away from them. So, I have a hard time asking people to watch my children for me. And wishing that I had family here in Tucson that I could lean on for support. And yesterday, I had an audition at 3:00 right by Jeremy's office, my second audition in Tucson. Jeremy's class ends at 2:50, so I was hoping I could get him to end his class a little early and then hang out with the kids in the car for me while I auditioned and then I could take him back to work or we could go home together. This way, I wouldn't have to find someone to watch all three kids. Of course, he gets caught by students and doesn't make it to us until 3:03 and I get to my audition almost 10 minutes late. And it turns out it is almost a group audition and all these people are sitting around a table waiting for me to get started. Embarrassing. And then due to the weird nature of the audition, I didn't get out of there until 4:30. Which means my poor husband in the car with my three crazy children for over an hour. It was not quite as simple as I had hoped it would be. Does it get easier to balance? How do you get everyone to the places they need to be at the right time with the right amount of children, etc. If we had another car, this audition would have gone easier, but that doesn't really solve the problem. I think it will just get harder as the kids get older and we have responsibilities with church and other things.
But, I guess it was worth it. I will be shooting a commercial for Vantage West Credit Union on the 20th of October. :)
But, what that really means is that I have to find someone to watch my children!!!!!!

Yeah for Cyndi - another job for you! That is really exciting - now you have money to buy Andrew his birthday present and Christmas without stressing about it! Good job! I can't say one way or another if it gets easier but I think that you are doing a great job and your best and that is all anyone can ask! Think about the talks given last weekend! Love ya, Kathie
HOw exciting! I am so glad that you are getting to do this stuff! Fun! We should just live by eachother, that would solve it! :->
Congrats Cyndi!
I have no idea how to balance work and kids and husbands and cars because I mainly just have work and a husband right now. I would just try to trade babysitting with some friends...that's what my sister does. But I think you're doing great. You'll find a way to make it work! :)
