Can I balance two blogs at once? I'm not sure. I guess we will find out. I'm trying to find more time to write in these things more. I remember back in xanga days I would write entry's often, at least 2 or 3x a week. I'd imagine that since my life was less hectic in college with less responsibility, that would be the culprit.
The magic balancing act continues between mommy, wife and worker. I'm constantly trying to share myself, spread myself, interchange my hats. It gets so hard though. And I find that most of my evenings, I don't want to do anything. Not wash dishes, type notes, or even watch tv. I just want to spend time with my son. Time with my husband. And time with myself.
I have really tried to regain time with myself. Now that Adrian is one, I think it's become easier. He's in bed by 8 pm every night which gives me time to clean up whatever area needs the most attention, prepare for tomorrow, and spend time with God.
I really think that I need to give up doing work in the evenings. My job is so demanding it requires extra time out of work to stay current. But I haven't done any work related things in the evenings for the last two weeks and I think I like it better. It just means I have to be more disciplined during the day or at the office to get my things done. As far as cleaning, we created a cool cleaning list a few months ago. It breaks down daily tasks from sunday to sunday. We started strong with it, but alas, it has already been forgotten.
I know we have to do better with keep our home cleaner. It seems with a one year old it's almost impossible. However, we need to do better. I think I'm going to try that 10 minute tidy trick. I hear it can be very successful. You just spend ten minutes at the end of the day cleaning. That's it. Nothing more and nothing less.
It also doesn't help that I just spent like 10 minutes writing this blog. Eh...progress?
Ciao.
