Balance is something I seriously struggle with. I always have.
Growing up, I was always involved is some activity. Usually an obscene number of dance classes, maybe add on a soccer team, yearbook, ASB, or whatever else. I never really had down time.
That’s me centered on the O
In college I didn’t do much better. I worked, sometimes 3 jobs, took 16-20 quarter units, took a quarter off to plan/get married, and still graduated on time. Again…no balance.
Now I’m a mom, and though I stay at home, I’m finding that balance is still eluding me. I plan adventures for LJ and I, I cook, I clean, do laundry, read “Brown Bear, Brown Bear…” eighty bajillion times,
try to get my Etsy shop afloat, teach Sunday School, and blog when I have a moment to breathe.
BSB has been telling me for years that I need a hobby.
Now that I have found crafting….I’m hooked!
Only now, how do I find balance? When do I take me time? Lately I feel like I’ve been waiting until the “Mommy is going to go awhol and go screaming out the door if I don’t get away for a little” point before I take my me time.
What do you do to find balance? How do you take care of yourself?
I know I have to take care of myself so I can better take care of everyone else…I just don’t know how.
