Finding time....

I'm a mum of 3. Worked full-time in middle management (also a teacher) until my youngest was 2 years old. Absolutely crazy - felt I wasn't able to do anything as well as I wanted to because I had either too much to do or lacked energy or motivation after a 10 hour day.
Luckily I could afford to go part-time 5 years ago - life changing! Felt better about everything. Wasn't as snappy with the kids and could now find time for myself (guilt free). Started with a regular Yoga class - straight after work so no going home and getting caught up with everything going on and then not going. Now I am hooked.
It got even better with all 3 kids in school. Started cycling once a week, then last year my friend signed me up for a 5K race. So 3 days a week training on a 0 to 5K in 8 weeks. That felt great. Now training for a half marathon in september.
Still finding it hard to find the time to do everything, now know I have to make time for the things that are important.
AND as I tell my kids MUM's are the BEST (and they know everything) :happy:
