A wise man once told me: "you will never find the time, you have to make time." It's definitely easier to make excuses as to why there are not enough hours in the day to do everything. When it comes down to it, it's a matter of prioritizing and understanding that we may have to extend our time frame for accomplishing certain tasks. As a mother of three, wife, full-time student (up until August), and full-time professional, I have found it difficult to "find" time for myself.
It may sound odd, but that is one of the things I am looking forward to most about my new journey. Although living in Kingsville will add a little financial stress and take me away from the support I have for the boys, I actually expect to have more time for myself. Trading work for full-time grad school (12-15 hours + clinicals) will leave me windows throughout the day to take time for myself. I am hoping to work on myself during this time by running/working out daily, researching and cooking more vegetarian meals, reading, relaxing, etc. My children are still my number one priority (I will also have/make time to volunteer and be more involved at school), but I also know that generally speaking, I am all they will have so I need to make sure I am the best I can be....for them too.
