Keeping my Head Above Water


Working full time as a litigation attorney and being a mom to a baby is hard y'all.  I am loving Clara so much and loving being her mom.  And I don't want to be a stay at home mom.  But I'm still finding my groove as far as managing everything goes.  I've been having to travel which has been rough in a number of ways and am super busy at work.  At times I feel like my brain is going to explode.  And my heart too because time spent away from the cutest of babies (Clara in case that's not obvious) often feels like time wasted.  I know I'm not the first person to struggle with this situation and I know that I have a number of options available to me.  I am going to make it work -- no question in my mind -- but like anything else that's important it's going to be hard work and cause some stress.  So this is all to say I'm pretty stressed out.  But life has never been better so there you have it.

Oh, running?  No, I haven't been getting much exercise.  One groove-hitting at a time.  I can't get it all sorted out all at once.  That would surely throw me over the edge.
