Work/Life balance

Nothing makes up for working on cold, cloudy Saturday like a walk through the great Downtown Scottsdale Farmer's Market. arizonafarmersmarkets

The place is full of cool stuff. We got some soap from a nice lady that makes it in her kitchen, then picked up some organic fruit and veggies. Yum. Keeping with the healthy, raw, flow of the day, we moseyed on down to Ra for a little sushi. Maybe work isn't so bad.

Merry-Go-Round

My life used to be crazy. I used to juggle a baby, a husband, a job, a degree, friends, family, but eventually the Work/Life Merry-Go-Round slowed down. Things got easier. The baby grew up and moved out (but still comes home a lot, thank God), the husband and I finally figured out how to pay attention, the degrees got awarded, the learning curve kicked in and the job got easier, maybe even moved into auto-pilot land, the once a week phone calls and BBQs and Happy Hours turned into every other week, then once a month, then "I'll see you at the Christmas party, maybe." I still have friends that are riding those 100 mph Merry-Go-Rounds. I heard from one today - the baby, the husband, the crazy work hours, the "I'm dead tired" days. I wish I could say it'll get better. I wish I could say to just try to enjoy the ride. I suggested a quality vs. quantity mentality for awhile, sneak in some good moments every now and then, but she probably didn't hear me. I hope she was taking a nap.
