Today while I was wholeheartedly embracing the "Happy Housewife" side of me I totally forgot about a CLE that I signed up for (and paid $70 for). It was on a topic I actually care about -- Unauthorized Practice of Law. I can't get my money back and there's no other time for me to view it so I can't get the CLE credit (or learn any useful tidbits) either. I'm totally pissed at myself. It didn't help that at the same time I realized I was screwed with this CLE I also realized I got the banana bread stuck in the pan. So I failed both at being a housewife AND at being a lawyer. Well, I wouldn't say I failed at being a housewife -- the banana bread still tastes pretty darn good.
Anywho, as Carrie Bradshaw would say, I can't help but wonder... if this was a sign. Should I not be trying to balance lawyerdom (which truthfully for me is a bunch of volunteer stuff coupled with the annoyance of having to keep up my state bar license) with being a Mom? It's nice that I have the choice and honestly I love that I have the outlet of the immigration work I'm doing. Maybe it's not a sign that I should quit. Maybe it's just a friendly (and expensive) reminder that my family and home are my priority right now.
