Love is.....being very tired

So, the week was one of those weeks were all of the departments in my life collided into a crazy busy week.  I had a meeting or activity each night.

 

Monday: Bible Study
Tuesday: Board Meeting
Wednesday: Class
Thursday: PTA/Dinner with Friends
Friday: Scouts

I am tired.   I think I saw my husband about 20 minutes this week.  I have a paper due today and about 300 pages of reading, my to do list a work is crazy long, the boy are back into the swing of baseball, etc.....

But, you know what.  I would not have it any other way. This was a crazy busy week, but it was full of things that I love.   I could have used a little more family time, but next week will balance it all out.

This week was full, honestly a little to full, but next week will be a bit more calm, then it will be full, etc.  It is a roller coaster of life.   But, I can't always stay on the roller coaster, sometimes I need to get off and just chill.  I have to fine the balance in it all.

This week I don't know how well I balanced life, I only tucked my kids into bed on one night.  But, they are still happy and loved and they know that.

What I do for balance: 

•  I protect my Fridays.  I am not at work.  This allows me to have down time, get school work done, get my nails done, etc.

• I have scheduled date nights with Mr.   Our relationship can easily turn into a peck on the cheek in the morning and night and it is important to work on it.

• I have time with my girlfriends.  I had a dinner last night were I went home and my face hurt from laughing so much!

• I keep a to do list- I have boys stuff, I have school stuff, I have family stuff, I have work stuff, etc. 

•  I play with my boys.   I always need to improve on this but I try to let go of my list and my phone and focus only on them.
• I also:I cry when I need to, I laugh when I need to, I ask for help, I try to be a super woman, I yell sometimes, I pray, I ignore my family to much, I listen to music way to loud in my car,  I ignore my husband to much, I say I am sorry, I hug, I get on Facebook, etc. 

But at the end of the day.  I go to bed most days very tired, a little stressed, but happy.

Perspective:   We all have a lot on our plate.  All of us.  We all must find a  way to balance it all.   We do better some weeks than others- that is part of the balance.   Just notice at the end of the day are you totally wiped out, but also still happy.   Then you have the balance going great.   Good Job!

Just for fun, check out this video.  It has a great perspective of how music can weave us all together.  It is worth the watch...
