This week my amazing partner signed
his contract for an acting gig which awesome, crazy, glorious,
mind-boggling, fantastic doesn't even begin to describe. He is pretty
much guaranteed him full time acting work for at least the rest of this
year. Which means a years worth of constant acting experience. It means
getting all sorts of crazy training that goes with it. It means
exposure, networking and have I mentioned acting all day every day? It
also means no worrying about the mortgage for a whole year. ONE WHOLE
YEAR! We're both over the moon excited...
...and I'm freaking out...
At five maybe six days a week at
12 hours a days, we are not going to see much of each other. I'm
effectively going to be a solo mum with three part-time jobs for the
whole of 2011 and I'm thinking how the hell am I going to get it all
done? Can't really quit being a mum, right, and not that I wanted to
anyway ever! Job one - childcare, frees me up for job two - the one that
actually pays money, so quitting either is not an option. Job number
three - the one that I really really want to be doing and full time,
come on ya'll know what I'm talking about - seems to be slipping away.
I'm really hoping that I'm just a
bit overwhelmed by the news of impending 'single parenthood' and that
it won't be as all-consuming as I imagine it to be.
After all, there are auditions
and new classes coming up, submissions to new representation is in the
pipeline (update on that soon) and I'm working on my postcard
submissions... So, come on 2011, put a few more hours in each day, mh-k?
