on snooze and in overdrive

I've been thinking about the blog a lot lately... and how I have not been able to visit and update as much as I wanted to. The blog has been on snooze for a while now and every time it alarms screaming for attention something more urgent almost always comes up. I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I've been promoted at work and as we all know every promotion comes with a price. Time for this blog has been the price ever since the extra work from the raise has taken effect. I can't even begin to describe how crazy my professional life has been. My career has been on overdrive. It is very fulfilling. I've learned, I've grown, I've succeeded and I've accomplished a lot in the short span of time. Sometimes I look at myself and somehow no longer recognize who I've become. I take pride for having grown smarter and wiser and ambitious. I take pride for the success.

But then I stop, and see another side. A softer side. I see a mother. So far, my successful career has not made me compromise being a mother and a home maker, yet. I have no plans of letting it come in the way of my time with my family, specially my son. But sometimes whenever I look back and see my blog unchecked, my Flickr album outdated, sometimes I feel that in a way despite the success, I've failed... The blog and the albums are supposed to record my son's every milestone. My life's (which is my family) every step. And it holds me back thinking I've left them unchecked. 

So today I resolve to find time. Shift to low gear. Breathe. Take time to enjoy and record every successful step. I'll be posting.
