I just found your blog today from the sits critique and I love it. I’m so curious- are you acting again? I was/am in the same boat…was a model and actor for 13 years before I has my first child. The first set I was on after he was born was so strange- so familiar, yet not what I “was” anymore. I was a new creation. I’m looking forward to receiving your updates. Keep up the great writing.

Awesome. Simply AWESOME. I hope you can look back and remember these ‘victories’ and that it really does get better now that you have two. I definitely know how overwhelming it can be! For me, personally, I can say it gets both easier and harder every single day. I have three (8 yrs, 3 yrs, 15 months) and each stage has brought it’s own unique emotional burdens even though the physical dependency lessens. But each has it’s own wonderful delights as well. Enjoy and good luck with that balance thing – when you figure it out, let me know.

Oooo, you know I’m feeling this post. Been there, done that, in the middle of it right now. I’ve brought my kids, 3 and 5, to auditions. I’ve felt that frustration with them, then that sadness that I expected too much of them. While waiting for my slot, I’ve had casting directors ask if the KIDS are old enough to appear in the commercial, and try to hand them lines on the spot. They’ve waited in the car with friends or family while mommy runs in “for just a minute” for a quick commercial audition or a fast theater callback. It sucks. Hard.

I wish you so much luck! Do what makes you feel alive.
Becoming a mother meant making a lot of sacrafices. I’m just now learning to “do for me” again.
Go kick some ass, lady!
