I am sort of laughing at myself lately...I've talked a lot about how I am seeking balance in my life and as I sat here this morning in a quiet moment with a 2yo in my lap nursing, a 4yo in my bed sleeping and a 2 week old on my couch snoozing I chuckled and thought "Oh yeah, I'm totally achieving this whole balance thing, aren't I?!"
Things feel a bit crazy around here but for the most part everything is great. The girls seem to be adjusting well to their new brother and I feel really good. Life has just sort of continued on and I am not finding that I'm struggling to find a new normal with the addition of my little-big Indigo. I am, however, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by all the other things I have going on...namely SCHOOL. I had a realization the other day that I am not even finished my first course (although I am getting there! I'm about halfway) and I have two more to do AND the next semester starts in September with 4 more courses. Shit! I think my major map is about to go out the window lol (For those of you who are wondering what the hell a major map is, it's the schedule of courses/timeframe that you set out to accomplish with the school. You can change it at any time if you need to, but they also really encourage students to stick with their major maps as closely as possible). I really just have to focus on the here and now and not get ahead of myself because I will surely sink myself if I start getting bogged down and discouraged with "look at all I have to do and all I haven't yet done" thoughts. I got a really nice, encouraging phonecall from a friend and fellow student KC yesterday that really helped to lift my spirits and remind me to just hang in there and not get all freaky. Thanks, KC...I really needed that phone call and I so appreciate you taking the time :)
I've taken more pictures (surprise surprise!!) but I haven't had a chance to upload them yet...I promise I will do that when I have a spare moment (hahahahhahahaha! I'm so funny aren't I).
I had so much more to say here, but I totally forget what it was. I started this post two days ago lol
