Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes… Who Has It Easier As Entrepreneurs, Men Or Women?

A hearty midwestern hello to visitors of my humble little blog. As indicated by my post title, there’s a LOT going on! Can you believe it?! We had s.n.o.w. on the first day of Spring! Now the weather keeps changing so the poor robins, geese, rabbits and other critters in the field behind my back yard are totally confused. I think I saw a few of them packing to go back South.

I feel awful about not posting for a few weeks, but life will have its way. Last week I was feeling rather optimistic because finally I was able to complete a book on lead generation, start research on my personal book project, and locate new templates to try on the site since CSS is being very naughty with me right now. I even got a chance to play around with a few software programs that have been sitting impatiently on my hard drive for, probably like forever. Ah, good times…good times.

“Mix it up get it right, go for another try… run it back again; Replay, hit rewind…,” ok, ok… it’s true I’m also seeking refuge from “High School Musical mania, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgins, Ashley Tinsdale and Corbin Bleu.” If those names don’t ring a bell for you, you either don’t have or live with kids, you’ve been on a deserted island for the past few years, or you have no television, which is just, well… plain sad. (Just kidding!)

Today I sat down to write to all of you and, “wham!” My computer keyboard shelf fell absolutely in my lap. With nothing but lovely words to my feline-child TK the cat, who had to make sure there was a thorough investigation, I scrounged around looking for the best hiding bolt in the world.

So now I’m twisted under the desk trying to screw in this uncooperative bolt and, “Eureka!” It’s finally in. Now to put the heavy desk shelf back. A few minutes of tussling revealed the replacement bolt that took me a half hour to locate, had a big round head (not a flat head) that blocked the side rail from fitting in so… I needed another bolt. As my son shouts when frustrated, “Oh, My Goooddness!”

As the drawer finally slides in properly, the doorbell rings. With a longing glance towards my cooling coffee, I enter a discussion on yard maintenance, why I need it, observations on the job our current provider is doing and yadda, yadda, yadda.

Loading the dishwasher on my way back to the PC, it’s now almost 2:00 so quick food prep for the kids who descend on me at 3. Still, no coffee. There’s practice for 6th grade performance of “McBeth” and tutoring at 5pm, signing up for football practice, telephone interruptions, lions and tigers and bears, oh, my!

So all this activity led me to what I think is a rather awesome question. Who has it easier, male entrepreneurs or females? If we switched roles for the day, who do you think would be able to accomplish more? Hmmm, just a thought.
