Balancing it all

April 11, 2008

I have been so busy with my daily job (architecture that is) and the Etsy orders this week that have literally forgotten or perhaps avoided playing with Nikolas….Yesterday, I decided I would take part of the day off to ‘catch up’ with it.

We played and built a tent with what we could find, pillows, toys, blankets….We had fun, and after it all ended, we fell asleep on the floor underneath the tent.
Oh how I wish my days were like this most of the time and I didn’t have to worry about a thing….I guess what I am trying to say is that I wish I was just a kid living in a kid’s world…But I don’t and I can enjoy what I have, and feel blessed to even be able to do the ‘tent’ thing every now and then.

I have read so much on this topic from different mothers, how to balance it all! Really, I would like to know if there is a recipe I could follow…Every time I think I am living a balanced life – eating well, walking, keeping up with daily prayer, spending time with Nikolas and Aaron – somehow I manage to get me back to where I was before….Oh such is life I guess!

On a different note, I have been tagged by Holly of Magnolias and Sunshine!
So here are 6 of my random quirks…..

1. I can’t go to sleep when there is unfolded laundry.
2. I am a nut about good/foreign laundry detergents (every time I visit my family in Europe, I have to buy different kinds – last time I even brought home with me a drying rack).
3. I dislike milk but I will have it with cereal.
4. I get carsick if someone else is driving.
5. I don’t like ice cream because I think it’s too cold!
6.I have to have my feet covered when I go to sleep, otherwise I can’t fall asleep.

So there you have it….

I am tagging Alyssa, Lynette, Kim, Sara Jane, Danielle, Lisa J.

And because I haven’t posted a picture of Nikolas in a couple of days, here he is …..
