Do you ever find your life moving at high speed & wonder what happened?

This happens to me periodically. So today I went offline for most of the day & it was refreshing! When I decided to switch jobs, I made a commitment to myself to find a better balance. After two weeks in my new job, I realize that I need to work harder at that. Some things that need doing more often:

  • go offline more often – my daughter & I went grocery shopping & she didn’t bring her mp3 player! We had a good time. She baked cookies this afternoon & that was a nice effort. I added unlimited texting to her new cell phone, so we have a happy college freshman! :)

schedule in:

  • reading time – my reading list is just getting longer & I miss that quiet time
  • blog reading – all summer I was keeping up & now I need to get back in the habit
  • grocery shopping – so we don’t run out of millk & eggs! I used to shop after my other work & go thru the motions. My hubby would help put them away when I got home.
  • rejoin my group of friends that get together once a month. I left them last spring when life got too hectic (too busy for a social life?). Yep I’m a geek! My sister & @adarowski confirmed this, but I still should go back to girl’s night out.

Many of you that are my online friends have young children & I’m not sure how you keep up to life? Let me know if you have any good secrets.
