Finding Balance

I don't know what happened to me this past week, but I have lost my balance in life. Last week was such a busy week...so busy that I think it threw me off completely. The kids had an extra-long weekend because of parent-teacher conferences. So they were out of school Thursday and Friday. And then they were off on Monday because of the Presidents' Day Holiday. Somehow, during that time, my own schedule got messed-up.

It's crazy how the kids schedule just completely takes over! I have been trying to blog everyday. It is so theraputic for me (surprisingly)! But for some reason this past week, I was not able to take time to blog the way I've wanted to. So, for the past three days I've been feeling a little lost and a lot of out-of-balance. I have spent Tuesday and yesterday getting caught-up on all my chores. Nothing fun at all: bills, laundry, picking up the house, etc. And even then, there hasn't been enough hours in the day to get those done.

I'm the type of person who loves structure. I am very organized and I followed a pretty set schedule. When there is change to that schedule, I freak out a little. I'm also a person that likes to have control. (shocker!) Imagine that. A Leo who wants control. There is so much in my life that I don't have control of right now, but I want to hang on with every bit that I can. I was not in control of anything this past week, and I wasn't too happy about that. Things I wanted to get done just didn't.

Anyway, I'm trying to get back on track for the rest of this week. I had a good cry today and I'm hopefully tomorrow will be better. (Sometimes I really hate being so emotional over the little things!) Of course the weekend is right around the corner, just in time for the kids to rule the plans.

The next long break is spring break at the end of March. I have a month to enjoy "my time", whatever that means.
