Balance...
It's what most women (or even people for that matter) yearn for. Balancing your home and work life, family and personal time, nutrition and exercise. On almost all levels we want balance.
I have been working since I was 16 years old, it was just the way it always was, I had to work. Even when each of my kids was born we couldn't afford for me not to work so they went to daycare. It never seemed that hard to work all day, pick up the kids, go home, cook dinner, put the kids to bed and even do some things for myself. Then 2+ years ago I quit working for a few months then got a part time from home job for the next year and a half. I went back full time, in the office, in August. WOW was that a shock to my world. I have no idea how I did all that I used to do before. I really, really took for granted all that time I had.
Maybe I do more than I used to. Well I actually know that to be true. I have 3 active children, 2 of which have homework on a daily basis. Spending time with all 3 so they feel special and important to me. Leading a Girl Scout troop. And really focusing on my health, nutrition and exercise. And last but not least, spending time with my wonderful husband to keep our marriage good and healthy. This doesn't even include maintaining female friendships and family relationships or social ones (including this blog).
Oh my, my brain is swimming thinking of all that. I enjoy my blog but it is neglected. I just wish I had more time to do all that I want and need to do. I desperately want balance!! I'm like a clown juggling all these balls and they won't stay up. I'm not giving up on doing it all, I just needed to vent about it. For those of you that read and follow me, thank you and I promise I'll post when I can more often when there's time.
One an exciting note, I won a box of chocolates in a giveaway!!!
