How do you?
Alright, here is a question for those of you who may or may not be reading this. How do you do it all? I work full time as a teacher, am a mother of two beautiful little girls, a wife to my teacher husband Chris, and try to coupon, clean house, help with homework, complete lesson plans, read and write. I just don’t find time. I do find that the things that are pushed to the side quickly become those things that I do for myself. I have managed to walk 6 days a week for 35 minutes (mostly by myself, sometimes with our 5 year old daughter). I manage a little over 2 miles a day when I walk so that I have kept for me. Otherwise, the reading and writing part fall by the wayside. My kindle has sat on my night stand gathering dust for the past few months. I did pick it up over Christmas break and read a few short stories I had been meaning to read but otherwise, I have 8 pages full of titles I should be reading. I also have untold stories stuck in my head and half finished stories stuck on my laptop just dying to get out. Where is the time? Do I really have to wait until spring break or a great large snow storm? How do you do it? Writers, tell me, how do you write and have a life as well?
