??Work/Life Balance??
Mar 09, 2011
Is there even such a thing as work/life balance? How do you even begin to balance your time and energy between work, school, children, relationships, friends, etc?? I thought that this was something that I had under control for the most part. Then I got a promotion at work, and going to the gym became something that I am interested in doing on a regular basis. My new job is SO much more demanding and time consuming then the job that I had before. I could literally stay at work all day and all night and still have stuff to do. My son has a new daycare that is only open until 6pm. So everyday I get up early, drop him off at school right at 7:15am so I can rush to get to work by 7:30am. I work through lunch because I know that at 5:30pm on the dot I have to be out the door to fight traffic across town to get to daycare. I have thought about grabbing him and coming back to work but who wants to come back to work after spending 10+ hours straight there already?By the time I get to daycare (YMCA) which is also the gym I am a member at I don't even feel like doing a workout. The only thing that is on my mind is getting home, cooking dinner and getting ready for bed.....which leads to a totally different problem--school work. I am also working on my 2nd degree, I am an online student and getting my Paralegal degree is very important because I want to become certified (which means a raise and more job opportunities). But I failed 2 classes last semester and I am getting ready to fail another one all because I can't seem to find the time and energy to do the work on time! So how do you balance life, school, work, gym, relationships, friendships.....oh and I didn't even mention my so called relationships and my non-existent friendships. I have great friends....I just never see them. And my relationship...or the lack there of, honestly has nothing to do with any type of balance, but if I wanted to look for something new....when would I even have time?
On a positive note the scale did move last weekend. Which as been the pattern, it doesn't move all week then towards the weekend it moves a little. 66 pounds gone! 55 more to go! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
