Today I am feeling excited. I have realized some weight loss which makes me feel great, and I will now have about a half an hour each day that I can dedicate to blogging. With three kids, a husband and a full-time job, there isn't a lot of time left for me during the day. It's easy to lose sight of yourself when you don't have a slice of time to reflect on your own thoughts, feelings, hopes, plans and goals.
This week marked the first week that my family will all be carpooling to work and school together in one care in the morning. You see, my job is within 4 miles of my husband's work, we chose a school for my daughter that is also within 4 miles of his work and my son's babysitter is also within the same distance. With busy schedules we felt it was important to eek out as much time together as we can - even if it is in the car. It means we pay less in gas, there is less wear and tear on our already beat-up cars and we chat about our day to and from work. It also means I get to work 30-45 minutes early and stay about 15 minutes late. Hence the "me" time.
It has been some time since I have spent time writing. I miss it. I want to regain my confidence in putting the figurative pen to the figurative paper. When I lost my job as a copywriter due to budget cuts, I was glad to have the break. My job at the company was about me attempting to mold my own writing style to someone else's and that wasn't very much fun. I grew to resent writing and found that I second-guessed every word I wrote. Now I am free. I can spew stream-of-consciousness babble or I can be short, sweet and concise. Looks like today is more along the lines of stream-of-consciousness.
