how do you balance?


it definitely has been a while since my last and first post. the excuse and reason for this post is the same. i am having trouble balancing different aspects of my life. i only work three days a week, which isn't bad because i get out of the house, but the days i am home i don't seem to get the house work and errands accomplished that i need to do. of course this is due to being a mom and tending to all of the responsibilities that come with that. and then there is school. i try to do that after Emma is in bed. this takes about three hours two to three nights a week. everything else consists of things Nathan needs me to do and finding time to spend with him. there is also the diet and exercise routine that we have been trying to do for a while now. with all of this that is going on i feel that i cant keep up and i am doing a mediocre job with a lot of things instead of a great job at a few things. how do you come up with a balance without getting stressed out? i have seen women who do a lot more and seem to have no trouble with keeping up with it all, how do they do it.

something for myself

I know that the title of my blog may seem a bit selfish, but with being a wife, mother, and having a part time job, all of my time is centered around other people or around the day to day routine. I love being a mom and wife and i have fun with my family, but im glad that i now have kind of an outlet where i can say anything at any time and vent if i need to. maybe this will help me not to take my frustrations out on my husband for one. those of us who are married,we all know that our significant other is the one that hears most of our frustrations and wining. now maybe he wont have to listen as much, now that i have all of you to vent to. venting is just one aspect of which i can use this to write. I would also like to write about other people and inspirations in my life, not just the drama. i hope that i can find the time to sit down once a week when everyone is in bed in a quiet house and blog about what ever is on my mind. so hopefully you will be curious enough to read what i write everyweek.
