I think we (as wives and moms) always struggle with the 'perfect' balance! I've waited to do the 5K training thinking that it's 'not the right time' - but I think I just have to MAKE it the right time. Easing into dance and scouts next week, 5K training the week after - will let you know how it goes!RLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186598026843397100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681111334962240287.post-28505136191745856012010-08-28T23:14:15.183-04:002010-08-28T23:14:15.183-04:00RLR, I feel your pain and understand how overwhelm...RLR, I feel your pain and understand how overwhelming this feels for you. I have been doing it many years now and that tight feeling in the pit of my stomach still comes every fall. It will get easier, though! There is a small blessing that you have "double booked" some nights, that leaves you some nights completely open as family time - cherish and and make the most of those nights. And learn to embrace the kid nights, you will form great relationships with the other parents you meet there (you are all interested in the same things, your kids!) And kudos to you for making time for yourself! That is an area that I still struggle with, always room for improvement! Glad none of you were hurt and wishing you the best for this busy fall season!A.D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681111334962240287.post-47844440403186070222010-08-27T12:55:01.718-04:002010-08-27T12:55:01.718-04:00So glad you are ok!

I LOVE to have lots to do and often feel bored when we get a chance to sit around. On the other hand, I'm dreading this fall when Patrick's schedule gets busy and we have to fight the momentum of all that entails. Good for you for searching for some perspective. Let us know what you find!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279948013127691404noreply@blogger.com
