A New Hobby

On Sunday I looked around at all the women that I have at some point done something with- scrapbooking, ladies retreat, coffee and I felt sad because I don't "do" those things anymore.  I want to, but... 
So Sunday started an introspection process, why do I not do what I used to?  Why do I feel like I am running all the time, especially since right before Thanksgiving?  Why do I only get to shower three times a week?  (gross I know, but when you don't have the time)  Why do I hardly get to blog?  Why am I having recurring migraines? 
I think I may have figured out the answers!  LIFE!  LIFE with THREE REALLY extra special kids!  STRESS!

I also have figured out why I don't do the things I used to.   I am not depressed.  (I had wondered)  I have a new hobby.  It's not one that most people (or any) choose, but others may be in the same place that I am.  My new hobby?  Doctor Appointments.  It's not that we are sick, and I am throwing things like counseling sessions, OT sessions, out of town specialist visits and the dentist in the same pot, but every week we have at least one and lately it's been more like three fairly consistently every week.  Now it wouldn't seem so bad if it weren't for that fact that I AM the TEACHER for my children.  So being gone for hours with one isn't very conducive to ALL learning, if you catch my drift.  So they've been training our new puppy and doing what they can on their own and at some point (maybe soon)  I can figure out how to juggle all of it 'cause right now it feels like all I have is just a bunch of dropping balls.  Maybe THAT is the reason for the migraines!  Too many balls falling on my head!!!!
