Being a mom....or anyone for that matter....you are always juggling something....I feel there are too many times I am needed in one too many places at the exact same time......and it can be frustrating....I don't like to feel resentful when asked to do something when I am in the middle of something....even if its a simple can you get me a snack or a drink of water....I know there are times when I can't step away to handle it....and that is just life and I accept that....but I want to make sure the kids know that they are still important as well....and its all a balancing act that I repeat day in and day out.....
Finally after being here in our house now for 6 weeks....I can finally say I am finding the balance between work, kids, family, and me time.....its still a work in progress....but I can say that I am not relying on the TV as much for entertainment for the kids....which had been a crutch for so long prior and after our move....we are going outside since its finally turned into spring.....we are enjoying family time even though we are not doing anything major....family time to us is just being together the four of us!
I know when school is out for both kids it will all change again.....but for now I have found what is working....and will adjust as needed when that time comes....even though it will be much sooner for Syd than Breyden!!!
But for now I think I have found the balance we needed!!!
