Over the last week, the stress that I am dealing with at work has really caught up with me, and my ability to focus on other things has been limited. Luckily, my wonderful husband took my son to his parents for the weekend, and I was able to enjoy some solitude and even get in some writing time.
In fact, I actually scheduled my Try This Tuesday post at 5MFSN ahead of deadline for the first time in weeks; usually I am sitting down to finish it up after Michael goes to bed on Monday night! This week I am talking about choosing therapies, as a follow-up to last week’s post about supplemental therapies.
Life is always a balancing act between all the things you want to do and all the things you have to do, and I’m teetering on the edge a bit right now.
On paper, it looks like a blogging break would give me a lot more time for all the other “stuff” in my life, but I’m not sure I can give it up and maintain my sanity. So I am still trying to find the way to do it all, including spending the time on my home and family that they need and keeping up with all of Michael’s care and other household stuff.
My routines have been going pretty well, so I’m going to streamline my list this week. What is going to be more important to me this week is figuring out a schedule that will work so that I know when I am going to be doing all this stuff.
My To Do List:
FOR BLOGGING -

Balance……we’re all looking for it but it’s very hard to nail down, a bit like jelly [jello?]
