I woke up at 4:00 a.m. today with the chorus to Crazy Train racing through my head faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive. "I'm going off the rails on a crazy train, I'm going off the rails on a crazy train." Why? That's a great question. I'm guessing it's because I'm going off the rails on crazy train. Too many things, not enough time.
I don't pretend to be superwomen, I just have a tendency to follow my passion and take on too much responsibility. I introduced my blog to my friends on Facebook yesterday and got lots of great feedback. Some very sweet comments that I very much appreciated. There were two comments that resonated with me. 1) "Your time management skills must be over the top" and 2) "Do you stay up 24/7 doing all this?"
So it got me thinking...as women and as moms so many of us tend to spread ourselves too thin. I do do do until I physically can't do anymore. That's not the right way to do things, I know, but it works for me OR does it? I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I love all the things I do; being a wife, a mom, a hard worker, a blogger, etc. All these things don't make me Superwoman or anymore special than you. They make me, well "me." I think that balance is the key ~ I'm trying to find that balance.

Stay balanced,
Yes, it is hard to stay balanced, that is the challenge we all face, I'm sure! Good post! Came here from your recommendation at Blogaholic ;)
ReplyDeleteI think that learning to balance everything important in life is one of the most difficult aspects of being a human being, I often feel that no matter how much I try to divide I will still feel that I havn't given enogh of myself, my time, my attention to one aspect so insted I have learned to say what or who needs me most right at this moment. I have had to learn to look at what I am doing a one moment and say is something else more important right now!
ReplyDeleteI know all about spreading myself thin, WAY too thin but that is a choice I make, like you said it's what makes me "ME"!
Great post! You should also list your blog under "inspirational" for sure!
