I've struggled with balance of work and motherhood for about 9 years, 8 months and 3 days. Sadly, the days of work fulfillment have dwindled to hardly any. I recently bought a book called Half Time. It is about mid-life. How can I have reached mid-life? It is about this is my half-time and what do I want the second half of my life to look like.
This past week I have been pleasantly busy. Peter has been out of town all week. The kids and I have had a great week. I did have a sitter come for several hours two different nights. That helps a lot, I'm sure.
Tomorrow is our school auction. I've served on the donation committee, and it has been great. We have worked so hard and gotten so many terrific donations. We have over $45 thousand dollars in donations that will be auctioned off tomorrow evening. I have really enjoyed the ladies I have worked with, the work and look forward to tomorrow's execution.
Today as I was moving from one of the girls house to the school to pick up last minute donations, to the club go over the set up plan for tomorrow, I consciously thought, "I love this." We are working for a great cause and having fun a long the way.
I'm working on it. I want to aim at something great for the second half.
