Well, isn't life a carnival ride? I've noticed recently just how busy I've been and I can't decide if that is good or bad. I was putting together my "work" calendar today. Over the course of the next 10-12 weeks I have about 8 -10 trainings! The good thing is most of these are webinars or self-paced courses....I love those :) There wasn't much "white" space left on the calendar when I got done though...and I haven't even put in the "home" stuff yet. The kids are keeping me jumping and running all the time...between basketball, music memory, rotc, debate, and all the other 900 things they have to be at school for either early or late I'm living at the library or the parking lot of the school.
So am I the only one that is stopping myself to say when does life slow down? I don't want to get back in to the same rut I was in before my mom passed away....all work and no play. I want to be able to enjoy life a little because if mom's death has taught me 1 thing it is that life is way too short not to do the things you love. I do have to say this....I really like my job. It is nice being able to actually do something where I'm appreciated. It makes the 10 hour days worth it right now :) I just want to make sure I find the right balance for myself and my family.
I don't mean to sound like I'm whining because believe me....I'm so thankful in this economy to have a job that I really like to go to every morning...even if they still call me "interim" ( Must admit that is still causing a twinge of anxiety...I will be so happy when they take that little word off there.). I just don't want to set an example for my kids that says working is all there is to life. I want them to be able to enjoy what life has to offer and realize working is what we do to afford the pleasures in life that make it worth living...but not lose sight of the beautiful things life offers us for free....like all you people who read my blog that I adore!
Okay....I'm just rambling now but, felt the need to try to blog something worth reading :)
Wishing you bliss

It is hard to obtain that balance between work and life. Here is something that helps me to get back on track; We're here for a moment of time - and then we're gone. Why waste one second on self-pity, frustration, irritation, and all the rest?
