Mutterings of a Busy Mommy

The end of March is already here, time certainly flies when you’re busy. I have committed to a lot of little projects lately and I’m just now starting to get into a groove. It feels good, though. Between my studies, my writing and my volunteer activities, I feel like my own person again. I’m no longer just the mommy of two kiddos. I’m no longer just a transportation provider. I’m no longer just a short-order cook. Now I feel like Melissa again. Melissa is still the mom of two, a transportation provider and a short-order cook but there is more to my dynamic now.

Yesterday I posted a press release by Attachment Parenting International. I’ve been a volunteer with the organization since 2004. In the last month I’ve been furiously working on the new forums. On Saturday the forums “went live” and today the announcement is being made to thousands. I expect the board to get a bit busy today but so far, with about 100 users, nothing has gone “boom” so I think everything is running smoothly. *whew*

Another big project I have in the works is creating my own limited liability corporation (LLC). I’ve been freelance writing off and on for over 20 years and over the last 14 months I’ve really focused a lot of energy on building my portfolio. I decided to do the LLC for a variety of reasons but I’m very excited. Right now I’m looking for a graphic designer to help me design a logo and business card. If you have any recommendations, post here please!

My daughter has her first dentist’s appointment today. In about an hour she’ll be relaxing in a chair with someone poking and prodding in her mouth. Thankfully she is not orally defensive. Hopefully she’ll be calm and relaxed. She keeps asking me if she’s getting a shot because a little book about a dentist appointment has the child getting a shot. I told her that she wasn’t. If she does need one we’re going to have to schedule it for another day because I’ve gone through major effort to reassure her that she won’t get a shot. If that changes I doubt I’ll ever get her back in to the dentist’s office again.
