Ever since Vivian was born, we have been going going going! Obviously, maternity leave is not at all easy or relaxing. Yes, I didn't have to go to 'work' for 6 weeks, but I was doing a whole new kind of work here at home. Vivian is wonderful and a joy, but it has been a totally new experience taking care of a newborn!
We've gotten into a good solid routine, though. And I was able to teach a summer school session for four weeks (only one week left!) as well as complete two journalism advisor workshops at Ball State. On top of that, I've signed up for an independent study in photojournalism... hopefully it will be done and turned in before school starts again in August.
My point is, I'm not unhappy that I've been busy, but it seems like there just isn't time to BREATHE. Nick and I need to take time to relax, time for ourselves. I've really struggled all my life with just saying "no." I think we both need to take a step back and reevaluate everything. Getting course credit and taking classes, doing summer school and everything else just isn't the most important thing. My family is.
Lord help me to be able to take more time for my family and for me.
