My evening is a true sample of my life currently being one messy mix, not a balance. (I thought I was going to insert some scientific thing about solutions and mixes here, but I really can't remember all the details of that.)
Back to my point...within the last 4 hours, I have left work to pick up a gift for this weekend, returned to work to get a dinner of external visitors started, and hunkered down at my desk to be a student. When I'm done here, (yes, I'm in class right now..hehehe), I will go back to the dinner to say hellos and then prepare the room for tomorrow and go home to get some shut eye, possibly snuggling (and likely nothing more) with my husband.
Wow, this summarizes my life right now! I'm experiencing a messy mix of work, school, mommy-hood, marriage, and a few other responsibilities. I'm just getting by in all these areas and hoping to gather a better balance when I can achieve some milestones in the next couple of months.
I know I'm not taking care of my physical health. I've been eating crap and it shows when I look like a stuffed sausage in a pair of jeans. Being too busy to eat well is a crappy excuse. I admit that. I've been trying to get a walk in when I can but I'm not doing a good job of that either.
Maybe I'm too hard on myself but I feel less than mediocre in many things right now.
And...I'm sorry that my blog entries have only been when I want to complain. I meant to blog two night ago about a GREAT NIGHT so I'll end with that.
In an already busy week, I took some time to do something I wanted to do and enjoy. After I picked up Jer at daycare, we went to big J's softball games. I fed him dinner and then we packed up for the game. We enjoyed some popcorn on a nice fall night and we were still home and I had him in bed before 9. I took some time to study and then remembered to do something for myself and went to bed by 10:15. I felt great because, at least for a few hours, I had felt balanced as a mom, wife and student.
