Time Flies

I can’t believe how quickly time went by since my last post a week ago.  I traveled from Thursday through 1:00 a.m. on Monday morning.  I crashed when I got home but dragged my ass out of bed at 3:30 a.m. when #chuck wanted a mid-evening snack.

I travel once a month (at least) for work.  I’ve also got some continuing education tasks for work which requires me to dial into web training and conference calls a night or two per week.  

If I don’t prioritize something (family, gym, writing) outside of what I have to do (work, class, work) then it won’t happen.

I just re-read that last sentence… a bit of a gut punch because I made it sound like Family was an optional activity whereas work and class took priority. Woof.

It feels that way sometimes, so I’m sure the #cohabitant sees it that way as well and that feels terrible.

I just got really busy, finished up with a couple ‘pressing items’ and missed #Chuck getting put to bed. Do better #dad. At least I get the middle of night feeds… and snuggles.
