There are only so many hours in the day….

I have a problem…There are not enough hours in the day to cram in everything that I want to do.  I go to work at 7 am, get home at 3, start dinner and get that done by 4-4:30, then out the door for someones baseball/tball/softball game or practice, get home at about 8, organize baths, get them all rolling into bed.

Are you tired from that?  I know I am tired from doing it.  I keep wanting to workout, but with the schedule I am keeping right now, there just are not enough hours in the day.  Now, I know some of you are going to read this and say “start dinner and workout” or “get it done early in the morning” but you have to realize that this is the first time I am able to enjoy what my kids are doing and spend time together after school.  Before Kevin and I moved in together last summer, I had been a single mom raising my 2 and working 3 jobs 7 days a week missing out on anything my kids were doing.  Thank god Kevin or my mom would take my kids to their events since I couldn’t.  I can’t afford to miss their events anymore.  I have soooo much guilt still about everything that I missed over the past couple of years.

Sorry about my rant!

    I am sure it is hard trying to keep up with kids, working, doing household stuff, and making time for you.  If you have some time on weekends why not take the kids on a walk or even to a pool that way you can spend time with them and still get exercise.  Since they seem to be like my family even try to get to an empty ball field for some batting practice and you can be the one to chase the balls that way you get some running in.  Hope you find some time somewhere.

    With summer coming the kids events should slow down then take time for you. You deserve it.  Walk with them, swim with them or play some basketball.  You will get in a rythem.  Good luck!
