blogging in 2011

I hope to be better this year! I say that every year...The last few months have been a whirlwind of work, holidays, social obligations, school and family. I enjoy blogging about my boys and I'm committed to continuing to do so.

I want to focus on the things that keep me going. I want to have more time with my family. I got a job so that I could contribute to our income and honestly, we need the money. But at the expense of driving myself bananas? We don't have the luxury to pay for help with the kids or having someone come and do housework. We do everything ourselves and work around each others schedules.

So, I have cut back on my hours at work. This means two things:

1. I will not be able to get health insurance through my company
2. I wont be so exhausted all the time (ie. irritable, cranky Mom who's too tired to cook dinner or read to the boys...)

I've been working 30+ hours a week since September and now, finally, I see I am not Supermom...
