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.

i know just what u mean!
I can absolutely relate to this- ever since cutting back to part-time after having Eila, I feel like I don't do the quality of work I used to as a therapist and if I focus too much on work I feel like I'm short-changing Eila. I realize God called me to be her mother before my calling as a therapist, so I try to remember that, but I do not like the feeling that I am doing less than my best and it is definitely something I find myself thinking about more than I probably should.
Isn't it amazing what's expected of women now? First, you have to prioritize and after that its not so hard to figure out. Probably the hardest part though is letting go of things that are not neccessary but you still have out of habit or comfort!
