Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Ladies,

I am in over my head with trying to be a mom, run a household, work 45 hours a week and be a wife.  I'm struggling to keep my head above water, and something has got to give.  Unfortunately, blogging has been put on the back burner for the last week, and that's going to have to continue for at least a few more weeks.  I'm upset about it b/c I love journaling here and I have so much to tell you, but I am really, really overwhelmed and need a breather.  I'm not done for good- just a short hiatus to get some tasks done and figure out a good schedule for my family. 

I'll be reading all of your blogs as much as I can (I try to catch up during my lunch break!).   Know I'll be thinking about you all and will be coming back as soon as I can. 

Love,
aeot

  2. We'll miss you. I'll be thinking of you as you find your balance (and may be hitting you up in about 6 months for advice).

  5. I am in the same boat! Willa is 6 months old and I'm still trying to figure out how to me a working mom/wife. It's overwhelming!

  10. I always say to my employers that I really do not know how they work 45+ hours a week and then come home and take care of a baby (job #2). I'm going to miss your blog but that adorable baby of yours is way more important!

  11. You know that we all miss you, but more importantly, we all want you to not worry about the blog, deal with everything else on your plate, it is *a lot* to manage.

    Take care of yourself, we're sending good thoughts, prayers and hugs your way. :)
