I'm Doing It

It seems that I become overwhelmed with life and all that we have going on quite frequently. This morning, I was blessed with the time to lie in bed, watch some news and hear Disney's Mickey Mouse on the den T.V. with no fighting between my children!

As I was relaxing, I began to think of all that I have to do today and the days coming up, and it occurred to me that I'm doing it.

When I say that I mean this: I get up early to make sure that I have time to get myself ready and let the kids and Len sleep in a little. Most days, the kids have time to eat a good breakfast and relax a little too before heading off to school at 7:13. I am working full-time now which means that we don't get home before 4:30. The kids are getting their homework done, dinner is served, showers are taken, kids are in bed by 8:15-8:30. I also have managed to fit in practices and games, grocery trips, laundry, and keeping the house in a sort-of picked up state.

I get my nightly walk/run in around 9pm and then my favorite thing, my bath at the end. Most days, I do this alone as Len and I are both working 2 jobs (although he does help me out alot when he is in off season) and I travel across Tennessee on the weekends to do my pharmaceutical trainings.

I know my house may not always be the tidiest, my kids may look ragged some days, and my car is very well worn in, BUT I am able to sit back and smile at the thought that through all of this I can say "I'm doing it, and I am doing it quite well!"
