Balance

Everyday we are up on the highwire attempting to walk from one side representing morning to the other representing the sweet glory of bedtime. This is a challenging task in and of itself. But we are not alone, on the wire and so now we must juggle. We juggle our children, our spouse, our health—I don’t have to list them, it’s long. You know it’s long. While we are busy maneuvering and juggling, things start flying towards us out of nowhere. Suddenly we are dodging the stomach flu, girl scout cookie sales, and passive aggressive calls from a Great Aunt who has never met your kids and wants to remedy that this weekend.
