introducing me

I am a wife.  I am a mom of two fabulous girls.  I hate to cook.  I am a swim coach.  I am unorganized.  I am a singer.   I am a procrastinator.  I am a friend.  I constantly struggle with my weight.  I am a youth choir director.  I am bad with money.  I am a triathlete.  I am co-owner of a local foods grocery store.   I am lots of things………. but most of all I am a 40 year old wife of two young girls trying to do my best.  I always thought that women who were 40 had it all figured out – until I got to 40 and realized that is all baloney.  I am still trying to make sense of things and I continue everyday to try and make myself a better person.   Some days I succeed and others, I fail miserably. 

It is such a balancing act when you are so many things.  You want to be a good wife and keep the house clean, do the laundry, cook a healthy and delicious meal.  You want to be a great mom and take your kids fun places, do amazing things with them, and feed them healthy meals.  You want to be a friend who is always there for a lethargic cry, a good laugh or a great workout session.  You want to be a good employee who gives it her all at the job you love.  BUT it is really hard to be all those things at the same time.  When you are giving 100% to one of those things, the others suffer.  BUT you do not want to only give 25% to each of those things because then you feel like everyone is shafted.  Again, it is such a hard balancing act.  I am trying to figure it all out so I thought I would start this blog in hopes that I can help you as I try to figure it all out and that you can help me on this journey.  Life is a journey, not a destination!
