I’ve been struggling with my hormone balance because of running so intensely while getting older.  It’s been really hard- I’ve put on weight, my metabolism has slowed, and I don’t feel ‘fit’. On the other hand, I’ve really enjoyed having extra time in my day- typically I only have from 10:30a-1pm of free time (if I don’t take an ice bath). With 3 kids, that’s just not enough time to get things done. I have an entire list of stuff that needs to be done now that we’re home, that one by one I’m trying to tackle in the midst of everything else.

I wonder if other moms have to run similar errands.. It seems never ending. My daughter’s shoes are too small so I’ve got to get her some new shoes, and drop her old ones off at Foot Solutions for the Soles4Souls program.  My kids lost the universal remote to our televisions in the house, which means none of our TV’s are working, a toilet broke while we were gone, we had a water drainage problem last year and have been fighting with the water company since last July….I’ve also got a box of pictures from our trip that I need to put in a scrapbook, I make a commitment to myself to keep up with this because if I throw pictures in a box, they’ll stay there for ever.  Where do I start?
