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. Awesome. Simply AWESOME.

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.

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! I wish you so much luck!

With such a short lived acting career, how on earth can I become an actress? Most people have 20 years under their belt at this time. Also, how can I possibly be a good mom as well? It's inspirational to read that you're still finding acting opportunities as a mother. I had the same worry..do you bring your child to an audition? What do actors do?? (continued)
