Marching On!

I guess you could say motherhood, work, fun, and life in general have sidetracked me and kept me away from my blog. I'm sorry.

I have to say, finding balance has been a great struggle for me (as I'm sure it is for most new moms), and blogging is just one more facet of my life that tends go by the wayside...right after the dishes and putting away laundry.

Claire is 2 1/2 now. She's extremely verbal, strong-willed, polite, intelligent, and princess-obsessed. She's also exhausting, in a good "I feel like a great mom today because we played outside" way. Because we don't always play outside and I wish we did more than we do. I wonder if anyone else feels the "inside all day guilt" that I harbor on those days that I come home from work, and just want to veg in front of the television with her, even if that means another Yo Gabba Gabba. I wonder too, if I would feel it less often if I had a different, better body, that didn't get so tired so quickly. Most likely, the answer is yes to all of the above. But I don't have a choice in the body I have, only what I do with it. So, the next time I find myself slouched on the couch, with my nose stuck in my laptop, and Claire says "Mommy, wanna march in a circle with me?", I think I will choose to march. I don't want to say no while I can still say yes.
