Searching for balance

Yeah, yeah. It's been nearly a month since I blogged. I could list excuses but I'm here writing know so at least I've managed to log on and write a new message and I don't want it to be about why I haven't made time to write a message.

Instead, I'm noting that I'm attempting a great deal of "balancing" these days and I thought this was blog worthy - given this is my therapy zone.

I finished actual classes back in June but had to turn in my final project on July 12. This meant spending some time on vacation doing homework. The first weekend after turning in my project, I started to catch up on various house projects. I was looking forward to a second day of projects when someone else had other plans. Jeremiah was a bit under the weather so we spent the day snuggling him and doing little else. I was finding myself looking for a balance of the time needed to spend with him but still do a few things before Monday morning rolled around again. The good Lord helped me make decisions, I guess.

In addition to balancing time, I've recently found myself trying to balance my hormones and emotions. I've been taking things very personally lately and wearing my heart on my sleeve. I suppose you could say I'm a bit sensitive these days. I'm hoping this is another temporary adjustment of my 8-month postpartum body. In the mean time, hopefully, everyone can bear with me.

There's more that could go under this title:
- work and home
- time with my family and the in-laws
- making myself relax and do "nothing" versus getting so many tasks taken care of.

I'm getting lazy as I write this so I'm going to leave it at that. Time to put the computer away and crawl under the covers.
