With the life events that took place over the past few months I forgot to write about my school success. This was my first semester back to school in over 15 years. I finished the semester with a 4.0. YEAH ME! I would like to tell you I managed to successfully balance school, kids, my husband and a deployment but I didn't have balance at all. I was hanging on to the roller coaster ride for dear life. I had good intentions of still having dinner on the table most nights, being able to drive carpool, keep up with school work and come out looking better than I did when I started. HA! That was more of a dream than anyone's reality.
Before school started I had a decent workout routine, ate well, and had dinner on the table most of the time. During school I became more and more thankful for a teenage daughter that would drive carpool and didn't mind making pancakes for dinner. As long as she could add chocolate chips of course. My workout routine went out the window and I hate to admit that the drive-thru had become my lunch time friend. A few of the pounds I had lost also found their way home to my hips. That was a welcome home party I was not happy to have.
The next semester I want to have more balance. I start class again next week. It will be all day 4 days a week. My husband and I have come up with a battle plan for dinner during the week. I need to find a place for my workout routine. While my husband can help with dinner no matter how much exercise he does it will not help me shake the few extra pounds that have taken up residence on my hips.
So I am on a quest to find a better balance this next semseter. But then again, who isn't on a quest to find a better balance in their life.
