Lisa: Hello, everyone!
I’m Lisa Guidarini, Bluestalking Reader, newly joined. I’m reading some old posts to get an idea how things work here, and so far I think this is one of the best ideas for a group blog I’ve ever heard of. Are we all moms, then? Tough gig being a mom and juggling a creative life, not to mention a separate career and in my case grad school. I so need a support group, and I really hope I can help others as well.
Right now I’m really struggling with balance. The new semester starts for me next week, I have a weekly column I write, a 25 hour a week job (just cut down from 30 because that was killing me), and I have articles promised hither and yon. Plus, I have other article ideas I want to work up, not to mention a couple novels just sitting there, gathering dust.
How on earth do I do it all?!
I’ll keep reading posts and see what everyone’s up to here. I just wanted to drop in and say I’m here. There’s more than you’ll ever want to know about me on my blog, but I’ll tell you I’m the mom of three (ages 10, 12 and 14), I live in the Chicago area, and I’m snatching myself bald trying to stay on top of life!
Glad to be here.
Lisa
