Life's Equilibrium

You remember how I said after Blissdom I had to learn to be more present with my family. Well, I am. By doing so, I think my blog has suffered a little. For that, I am sad. I am working on finding a new balance in my life. 

I could and probably will blame a lot of imbalance on my new job position. I find myself completely drained at the end of every night.  And, as my friend Melissa says, "I leave my day job to go home to my other full-time job as a wife and mommy." Mel- that statement is so beyond true!

I find myself trying to squish-in fun, love and time with both of them in the matter of a few hours every night. Then, at midnight-- while I am making T's lunch and picking out his clothes for the next day, I realize I have no energy to do anything else.   

I am hoping once I get my "feet wet" a little more, I will find my life's equilibrium.

This past week I had a crazy work schedule, followed by a midweek trip to Nashville for a work conference, to come home to a very-very sick little boy. I think BTB downplayed the sickness so not to stress me out. 

Really not trying to be over dramatic here, but I don't know that I have seen Timothy so sick since his birth. I was really scared yesterday.  This also meant we missed out on a lot of plans this weekend. 

T was supposed to be the spokesperson on Saturday at 5K at the hospital and go to his girl Ella's birthday party that afternoon. Both of those clearly had to be cancelled. We were really sad, because we were so excited about both of those fun activities. 

I am spending today at home with my boy. We are also praying hard for BTB's granny because she was admitted to the hospital late Sunday night with a possible tear to aorta. 

I don't know that the equilibrium I am seeking will be obtained this week, but my hope is that it will be here soonish.  {I know-- totally not a word}

Do y'all have any advice for finding life's equilibrium?

I try to write out my days and then working through the plan. That's how I find the balance.

I need to find a way to find some balance too! But it is really hard!

Working and raising children-- two full time jobs! I agree!
