Life is Busy… Deal with it!

I’m the type of person that loves to just be at home.  I generally don’t like to go out and be busy doing things all the time.  I can easily keep myself busy at home, but I would rather not be in the car driving all over town constantly.

But having kids has a tendency to change your ideals.  Yesterday I came home from work, scarfed down some leftover pizza, then headed to the soccer field for practice.  Tonight I’m leaving work and heading straight to the baseball fields where I’ll meet my wife for my son’s practice, then she’ll leave for a meeting at church which means I’ll have to leave my son’s practice to pick up my daughter from dancing and bring her back to the ballfields.  Then after that, we need to stop by the church for a while to do some things.  By the time that’s all over, it’s time to get the kids in bed and then another day is over.

Time can get away from you quickly with the whirlwind of activities that comes from the combination of children and springtime.  I have to constantly be aware of how I manage my time.  My family is very important, so I try to make them a priority, although sometimes I let church activities get in the way of that. 

I just have to learn to deal with a busy life and do the best I can with the time I’ve been given!
