Monday
Ahh, Monday, in all its glory. Relaxing over the weekend is exhausting. I’m in a fog; my brain is simply not functioning, mainly because I’m not overly motivated to get it in gear. I’m becoming increasingly resentful of my daily grind: commuting 40 miles each way, every day, sitting in traffic, whatever. I’ve decided on becoming independently wealthy. Apparently, it’s been done before by many other people. I don’t think I’m particularly unworthy of this. It’s time. I’m watching my daughters grow up before my eyes, and I’m spending precious little time with them, sharing in their experience. It’s just not right. Gia can say “I miss you” now. Every day she gets more and more capable of tearing my heart out of my chest. She’s an expert at that. Ava’s got some skills in that area as well. I’m doomed. I’ve surrendered. They own me. The only upside of this daily grind is the coming home part. Gia has her little routine, when I pull up, she leans out the front door and screams, “Daddy’s home!!” It’s just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen or heard. She’ll look up at me and ask, “Home?” I’ll say, “I’m home!” That makes her smile and get all mushy. On the one hand, it’s adorable, but on the other, it kills me, because it implies that I’m not home a lot of the time. I just read some of this guy’s blog. I even threw a comment up there. He has a book, which I’m considering purchasing, but I think I should finish the other two books I’ve been trying to read: The Seven Day Weekend and The Art of the Start. There’s definitely an ongoing theme here: entrepreneurship. Am I an entrepreneur? I’d like to believe I am. I’m certainly reading up a whole lot on the subject. I’m determined to generate additional sources of income, preferably many of them, or at least a few really solid ones, as long as they’re directly linked to things I enjoy. If I could pull this off, now that would be a legacy I’d be happy to leave to my family. I can’t bear the thought of them being subjected to a typically cubicle-laden existence. Having their creativity stifled is not a fate I can allow.
