My priority is my son and my husband, and I have a lot of spinning plates, so I try to make sure they're not one of them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a working musician, so it's what I do. I kind of always have lots of plates spinning, and it's the ones that keep spinning the longest that I end up doing.
'Having it all' is such an intimidating concept. Just when you think you have all those plates spinning perfectly... something changes. It is a constant balancing act.
I think I probably tend to make life hard for myself by taking on too many things. I call it plate spinning.
You have to take care of yourself so you can manage the workload of a very, very full plate.
At home, I never plate. Things go in the middle of the table, and you serve yourself. In the restaurant, every day I plate things, but at home, I want to enjoy my company.
I really concentrate on what's on my plate at the moment and do the very best I can.
Unfortunately, I cook for two boys, and they don't care what it looks like on the plate, and neither do I.
We take each week as it comes; we're juggling just like everybody else. It's all about spinning plates.
I enjoy multi-tasking, so I want to do a lot of different things. I want to keep all the plates spinning.
I have different hats; I'm a mother, I'm a woman, I'm a human being, I'm an artist and hopefully I'm an advocate. All of those plates are things I spin all the time.
