Not going to make it

I was aiming to beat the number of posts I did last year (38) and in the summer, I was on track to do it.  But I am not going to make it, unless I write 11 posts in 7 days.  That is simply not going to happen.  I used to write my posts during my lunch breaks.  Alas, my new, much busier role at work has made taking lunch breaks that are longer than 15 minutes quite rare.  And in the evenings, the 1.5 hour I have between the time Sophia goes to bed and the time I need to be in bed is filled with chores.  And why do I need to be in bed?  Because I have a 6am workout at the gym and getting enough sleep is always a priority.

My last post was over six weeks ago.  I don't think I've ever gone that long without posting anything since I started this blog in 2005.  I feel sad that I have not managed to find the time to sit, get my thoughts together, and put them on "paper".  Writing helps me decompress and clear my mind.  I feel that I am losing out on something important to me.  It is just so challenging to fit it all in.  How do other parents do it, I wonder.  Work/life balance is an illusive thing.  I wish I had the answer.
