Long week

This has been a tough week. I had one evening where I was home before dinner... the rest were 9pm or later. I wonder why those types of nights have to happen all at once? Have you ever noticed that? Even if it isn't just one event that occupies every night of the week, it ends up being several that converge on the same week? One kid has a sporting event one night... the other kid has a band event the next night... Wednesday night church and rehearsals... another night of sports/band/special service/ or worse multiple events at the same time... Before you know it... the week is GONE and your still wondering what happened!

Trying to convince myself that I am not Wonder Woman and cannot do it all has been my biggest challenge. I know I am not the only one who has such a hard time walking away from things when they are not finished! Where do you draw the line between your work ethics and your mental stability? I have to have time away to spend with my family, but when I am away from the work, I stress about what needs to get done. Oh what a vicious circle!

Balance... what an elusive achievement. Well... at least it is for me!
