.... try try again. Even though I feel my time more than ever now is pulled in 1000 different directions, between dance and doctors and work and family, I decided to restart this to give myself 5 minutes of me time whenever I feel I need it. I read a blog this morning on Scary Mommy called "If your life feels overwhelming, try the one minute rule". And I somewhat subscribe to this already. Sometimes the first item on my to do list is "make to do list". I tend to take care of the low hanging fruit first, which is why homework gets graded and labs pile up, or laundry gets done, but my closet is a mess.
But I have to be easier on myself. I am now the mother of three kids. Just over a year ago, a new joy entered our life. Emily was born August 21st at 9:45pm. And this year has been quite the year. Though (knock on wood) I feel I can see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, I called her issues death by a thousand paper cuts. Thank goodness nothing seriously life threatening, but it was always one more thing. I think I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for her because of what we went through together (which is good when she had me up this morning at 4:40am)
Somewhat like cleaning my closet, there is no way I can recap the last years of my life, so I'm not even going to bother to try. I have three kids, two dogs, a full time job, and a house that looks like a bomb made of a mix of dog hair baby toys and clothes went off in it. But I am am going to try to take my own "one minute rule" and maybe just muse more often about what is happening in our lives. Again, not for anyone else, but just for me.
