Opening a business can take over your life if you let it. I am a passionate person and when I feel strongly about something it's no joke. I am on the fence about my own personal involvement in the opening of my husband's restaurant. Obviously I feel like my voice is subsided b/c of two things:

1. I don't know anything about the restaurant industry other than the fact that my husband works 80+ hours.
2. I am a girl.

I guess I just feel sidelined sometimes. I feel like my breath is wasted and maybe I should just shut the fuck up and concentrate on my own dreams. I mean I want to be involved but sometimes it seems that everything that has been discussed is so far away from the original idea that the two of us came up with. I wonder if I should just sit back and chill out. Why should I get so f'ng stressed out about shit that hasn't even happened yet? I'll tell you why. Because it's not just the Chef's future, it is also the future of my family. And that is what is most important to me.

Plus I am stubborn and strong willed and most of all, I am always right. About everything. Always.

Oh My! I cannot believe what I'm reading! I too and a chef wife in NYC and I know how you feel about being trapped in your own husbands dreams and aspirations. We are no where near ready to open a restaurant, yet I've already planned the layout of the dining room and promotioal photos! I too ask myself why I get so involved in his career, after all I have one of my own (2nd grade teacher). Oh well. Anyways, my fellow chefs wives have a new blog on blogspot too-check it out and share your stories! After all, we need to stick together, right?
