Sometimes life gets really hectic… like really, really hectic. This week I start working full time in my Infant Development Consultant job. I have worked four days a week for a very long time. It will be really hard not having my Fridays free to be with my boys. I am also in the middle of a photography lighting class which is a little intense. I have also been working on a photo 365 project. This last weekend my whole website went down… so I started a brand new site here (what do you think?)
But despite it all I have a husband and two wonderful boys who are keeping me grounded. They remind me to take breaks, and to sit down for a few minutes. They take an extremely long time to eat meals, because we always eat together – and it keeps me at the table longer. They insist on extra bedtime stories. They give extra hugs. And each one of them checks in with me. “Are you sad mom?” “Does this make you happy mom?” “I love you”… All these words keep me going. They remind me that I am not Superwoman. I am a working mom trying to keep the balance between work, kids, husband and hobbies. Sometimes I feel like I could use some superpowers to help cope with it all. But then I get a hug, a crayoned drawing, a back rub… and my world is okay again. I have my own personal superheroes catching me every time I fall.
