I find it hard to believe that the month is already over. It seems like time has rushed by. My sons are now ages 8 and “almost”4. So much has happened. Where has the time gone?
When we were kids it seemed that time took forever, as I get older, it seems like it is going by too quickly. Our lives have gotten so busy that I find myself caught up in the rush of things that it seems so difficult to stay connected to the people we held dear in the past. Between getting the kids ready for school in the morning ( mind you, my kids get up at 5am regardless of time zone), and going to work, homework, chores, activities, when do I have time for me? When do I have time for a quick chat between girlfriends? Heck, I don’t even have time for long baths anymore!
Between the full-time demands of my life as a mom and wife and the demands of a busy dental practice, I sometimes find myself stretched. It is because of this that my husband Todd and I are committed to our family time away from home. We take mini-vacations and 2 week vacations to refresh and strengthen our bonds as a family. I love “Kids Club”!!! It gives us time to be together as a family and time for us to reconnect as a couple.
I try not to work more than 4 days a week, if I can. This gives me freedom to volunteer at my son’s school and do all the mommy things with them. Thank God for the wonderful people at daycare who help us balance this all out. This way I can give the people who come to me for dental care the personal attention they need. It is all about balance….
