Not enough hours in the day!

It has been a very hectic weekend. I am looking forward to going back to work on Monday to get some rest. My oldest daughter (Cassie) and her fiance' (Bryan) are in the process of moving and I have had their 8 1/2 month old son, Cody all weekend. Cassie and Bryan will be getting married October 17 and I had no idea how much planning (and money) goes into this blessed event since I chose to go to a Justice of the Peace. Cassie just picked Cody up and I thought I would have some time to myself to read and do homework. That is what I get for thinking! My mother dropped my oldest two grandchildren off five minutes later. My house is anything but quite right now but, they are having fun. I am torn between what I want to do and what I need to do because they are only young once and I will not be here forever. Arianna has informed me that she does not want me to die until I am 100 years old. Unfortunately, that is not a choice we get to make. I let her know that she will always be in my heart and I will always be in hers. It is very hard to make a small child understand that you have no choice in the matter and that you will not be around forever.

    One of my best friends is also getting married on that day! Good luck to your daughter's wedding! And her marriage!

    I feel the same way sometimes! But I have a boyfriend that stays out of town for the moment, so when he comes, he expects me to give him attention. He does not want me to drop everything but still. It is hard to have a functioning social life and get the grades you want in school. I have went through that battle for four years going on five. This is my last year and I feel I have done my time! But continue to balance it because the best things in life are free.

    I think people are more important than anything else; if your family needs you, that's where your attention goes. You do need time for yourself, though. It's all about balance, which can be difficult to achieve.

    I think if there were about 30-35 hours in every day we could do it a lot better. What do you think? It seems like I always over-extend myself. Dr. Smith is right, people should be put above everything else. And the perfect balance is what we are always striving for. But life goes on...
