Finding Balance

I am struggling with finding balance with work, kids, the house, and my mental state.  After having a garage sale I have greatly reduced the amount of clutter, but still have two rooms in a state of chaos.

I spent a week cleaning and organizing my office in search of a quilt pattern, which I just ended up ordering another.  I moved the chaos from the dining room to my oldest son's bedroom only to move it again last weekend to the office and dining room once again to allow a place for my Dad to sleep over the Christmas holiday.  The last four months of re-organizing and purging has helped in finding some balance.  Although that all came to a screeching halt as the last four weeks I have spent my weeks in Texas and my weekends home.  I feel as if I am starting all over again in addition to now being behind in quilt orders. 

Life happens, people need us, kids have schedules to maintain, and I am always putting myself last.  In 2018 I hope to make more time for me.  And I don't mean me working, me taking care of kids, me maintaining the house...  I mean for me. At the age of 41 I realized that I need to be a priority.

Thank you to all who have supported me this past year, it has meant so much. 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year~
