Life sure keeps you busy whether you work full time, stay at home, go to school and so on. My husband laughed recently about my running blog. Sadly, I’m not a runner. It’s not that I don’t want to be. I just hadn’t followed through on the program. I should. I have a slew of excuses. It’s difficult with a toddler. It’d be easier with a gym membership or a treadmill at home. It’s too cold. It’s too hot (which is the one that broke the streak with a few over 100 degree days.) It’s too wet. There’s not enougth time. You get my point. Well, I need to find a solution and get back to it. You can’t fail if you don’t give up.

I’m back in school though and that’s good. I’m taking 15 credit hours of online classes through PCC. So far I love it. The class work is part of my “I’m too busy to run” exc use. But I have been diligent to find time to play outside everyday with Alex and make sure that I keep him busy with age appropriate activites. Playdough is a good one. We read. We go for walks and bike rides. I seem to just be able to do my work in the few moments that Gary watches him or when he’s sleeping. Thank goodness for the afternoon nap!

I’m hoping I can keep a well balanced life with all my titles, mother, wife, student, etc. Most of all, I want to be happy and so far I am. I’m very thankful for everything I have and everything that I am. And for now, that’s as well balanced! Cheers!
