I sat with my husband last night to discuss the design of the website.  In brief we have to defer it for about 2 - 3 weeks.  Yes, I am really disappointed, but in true business sense, we need to concentrate fully on the areas of our business that can bring money in.

We have a product launch for some software that must happen the beginning of October.  It needs 2 weeks of my husbands full time attention and maybe that means 12 hour working days.  It has to be done. 

While my website is important to me in terms of building my own confidence, it is not about to make me money - yet!

Therefore I need to change tack mentally.  From tomorrow morning I need to be wife and mother extraordinaire (not going to happen!), I need to keep my husband shut away in the office for as long as is reasonable (but I do so love talking to him) and I need to re-arrange some of our regular patterns of working ie housework (that’s okay I’m really hit and miss with that anyway!).

My evenings need to be spent helping with this launch.  To be honest it will be a good exercise as I should learn some good hints and tips for the launch of the website.  I will also start putting together more articles, so that when we have the time it should all go together beautifully.

Can I be any more positive?  Okay it’s not in the direction I would like it to be in, but isn’t it better to have some money coming in than having a pretty website?

I will also finish clearing my desk and the utility.  If you read a previous log you will note that I only needed another hour or so to complete the task.  Well, best laid plans and all that. 

I think I now need ‘a few hours’.  While looking for some vouchers my son had for his Birthday a few months ago, I found on my desk amongst all the paperwork, 2 bottles of hand wash, some deodorant (that I had been looking for and had to go and buy more because I couldn’t find it!) and a rubber squeaky chicken.  I rest my case!
