Balance for the New Year, Ha!

When Liz Lange announced on "The Big Idea" last August that balance was a Unicorn, I could hear the chatter from Donny's guests but could not make out what they were saying. I was being beamed in Skype Style and could not see anyone! Did they agree with her? Was Balance just an illusion to be laughed at? I did hear one of the guys chuckling.

The show was about the ever so elusive word Balance, and without much of a Social Life, I was hoping to get some answers, or at least a date.

I even blurted it out, asking Donny for help in that department!

In the end, I received a few snapshots of bare chests and some pretty questionable emails.

Fast forward 16 months later and I am still scratching my head.

Will I ever achieve balance as a single Mom with two kids and a new business (in the middle of a crashed economy no less) to run?

Here it is past midnight and I just took the last round of chocolate chips out of the oven.

'Tis the Holiday Season!

Today alone was digging out of 15 inches of snow, running to get pet food and putting the jungle gym together.

But unlike last year at this time, I am not feeling like I just survived a car crash.

I did not fall down the stairs because of sheer sleep deprivation.

I did not make presents for ex in-laws til the wee hours.

I am actually talking about getting my butt to the gym today.

I slept in.

And although I do not have the fullest of social calendars yet, I am creating more time to let it happen.

Little by slowly.

Is this balancing? Not sure, but maybe.

Do I want more of it? Yup.

So Cheers to all of you!

Have the Happiest of New Year's Ever and why not, just a little more Balance!!
