Balance

It is so hard to find that perfect medium, that balance between being a great mother, a wife and having a career all at the same time! Because I want to be the best mom Cohen could ever ask for, I want to be the best wife my husband could ever ask for and be the best nurse anyone could ever ask for! However I am quickly realizing that I cant be perfect all the time! If anyone knows how or what the magic trick is, please feel free to share. I can use all the help I can get. However, I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know God is on my side. I am so excited because I start PRN status at work next week. I will only have to work 2 days a week. That leaves the other days of the week I can spend more quality time with Cohen, keep my house clean, cook dinner for my husband and have it ready when he comes home from work when he returns from deployment, exercise and have time for myself!! At least this is my idea anyway, but will see how well my plan works. Hardly ever do plans turn out the way that you want them to be. I just wish I had more girlfriends with kids that I could vent with and talk to about raising children and having a life. I also wish my non parent friends knew what it was like to raise a kid, work, be a single parent while their husband is deployedand and not be able to go anywhere on the drop of  a dime. Having children changes your life. For me definitly for the better, but it is still a huge adjustment. I have definitly learned who my true friends are and the ones I can count on. Let me just tell you what I thought was 2 hands, is really more like 1 hand. This has just been on my mind lately and I wanted to share my feelings!
