My Work/Life Juggle & PEARS

September 29, 2015 by Sue Campbell

The only true multi-tasking I can do.
The only true multi-tasking I can do.

Here’s a somewhat complete list of what I did today.

A Tuesday.

Before 4:00pm.

  • drank first cup of coffee around 5:15 am
  • finished newsletter for a client
  • edited blog post for my favorite client: The Center for Parental Leave Leadership
  • kissed husband as he was leaving
  • showered/got dressed
  • changed baby’s diaper and fed her
  • woke up big kid
  • moved diapers from washer to dryer
  • threw a PEAR and a peanut butter sandwich in big kid’s lunch bag
  • loaded 45 pounds of school fundraiser PEARS in the car
  • loaded baby, baby gear, laptop and planner into car
  • drove opposite direction from school to deliver 25 pounds PEARS to a pregnant friend
  • drove kid to school while listening to Heard it Through the Grapevine on repeat so baby wouldn’t scream
  • chatted and ate other people’s snacks outside school (hard boiled eggs, cheese and salami — yum!)
  • coordinated getting cranial sacral therapy for the baby after getting rear-ended last week
  • realized baby has a cold
  • drove to friend/favorite client’s house, did second round edit on blog post & fed baby
  • realized I have a cold
  • drove downtown to deliver another 5 pounds of PEARS and meet old work friends for coffee and changed a poopy blow-out diaper on a Starbuck’s chair (that’s what happens when there’s no diaper deck, people!)
  • delivered 15 pounds PEARS to another downtown location
  • drove back to school
  • checked blood sugar and calibrated my continuous glucose monitor
  • checked email and texts while baby slept in the car
  • rescheduled a recurring meeting
  • sent text begging friend/neighbor to let the dog out because nobody had yet (oops — sorry, Charlie!)
  • watched school Michaelmas play
  • cried (as I always do when seeing children perform anything)
  • drove exhausted children home
  • ate plate of nachos & a PEAR
  • changed baby’s diaper
  • shared photos and video from play on Instagram and Facebook
  • fed baby
  • made a grocery list
  • vegged out on the inter-webs while baby slept on me
  • made coffee
  • cleaned the kitchen (because gawd)

  • brainstormed article ideas
  • wrote this blog post

What kind of blog is this?

This is a blog for PARENTS. True, the writer, Sue Campbell, writes books for kids. But this blog is for grown-ups. It has some swearing and would be super boring for kids. Except for the swearing.

The PODCAST is for KIDS and PARENTS. In fact, my twelve-year-old daughter is my co-host.

If your kids like Sue's books, send them over to suecampbellbooks.com where there's some kid-friendly content. EVEN BETTER, join the mailing list. You get stuff for grown-ups and printable stuff for kids. And sometimes there will be super ill-advised giveaways or coloring contests for free books.

MORE ABOUT SUE: She makes an ACTUAL LIVING from writing words and marketing books and lives with her husband, two daughters, six chickens and one messy house rabbit in Portland, Oregon. And yes, Portland IS that weird. She really couldn't be any luckier.
