WAHM Wednesday: How Are You Handling The Spring Crunch?

April 9th, 2008 · 2 Comments

rushI think it’s been a while since I’ve done a real WAHM Wednesday post.

Well, the wait is over! Today I’m posting on a real WAHM (work-at-home mom) issue for all of you freelance writers who are also WAHMs.

If you have school age children, then you may also be facing what I’m facing right now: the spring crunch.

The spring crunch happens every year, but every year it catches me somewhat by surprise (even though I was expecting it – if that makes sense).

The spring crunch occurs not only because of my busy workload, but also because of the extra assignments and activities that the kids must do to wrap up the school year.

How about you? Are you facing the spring crunch this year? If so, how are you handling it?

    Laura,

    My “spring crunch” isn’t really caused by the fact that it’s spring or by the fact that I’m a WAHM–though technically I am. (My youngest is 19.) It’s caused by my incredible busyness with writing projects–mainly my contract writing work.

    I currently have several volunteer projects waiting in the wings that I’m beginning to feel as if I’ll never manage to get around to, and I do feel bad about that, since I’ve promised–and want–to do them!

    Hopefully my “spring crunch” will end soon! And hopefully yours will too!

    Jeanne
