Life - in general

Swati's post inspired me to do a quick recap of what's going on in my mind and life in general these days.

Weekend went normal yet nice - esp because i didn't do much of house hold chores :)

2 weeks ago we had got a portrait session done for our little daughter and saturday was the day we had to pick them up. They didnt come out as per our expections yet they were great. So we have some big posters now.

Yesterday was a great day for us - 3 celebrations to do
First my little daughetr turned 7 months
Second it was my dad's bday and
third one it was father's day

So we treated ourselves to some favorite food, outing and general shopping.

The thoughts tat are contstantly going on in my mind these days is about time for my daughter. I feel we are unable to give her as much time as she deserves or we must give to her. On a normal week day, i spend max 2 hours with her - that too goes mostly in talking to her from a distance while i am busy cooking or doing other things. Weekends i spend more time with her but i still feel it's too less. In those 2 hrs in the evening I have to give her different things to eat, play with her, freshen her up, put her to sleep. i feel it's too less time to develop that bonding with her and teach her one million things that keep coming to my mind. I don't know how I am going to move on like this. First things perhaps is to move closer to work so as to gain little more time in the morning and evening.

Another worry thats killing me these days is my upward graph of weight - i am gaining like leaps and bounds. I HAVE to do something about it before i am attacked with thousands of diseases that come with the package of weight gain.

One thought that has been going on for quite some time is about studying further. I want to do some more studies now but am unable to decide what. I dont know what do I want to do. I am getting so confused. (I surely am a confused personality)

After writing these, i just realised how Swati's and my thoughts are on the same track these days- same issues going on. Guess these are quite common ones.

    Well, the thoughts you mention are fairly common. It happens with every mother who is concerned about her work also. We, as women have amazing capacity to balance it all. The only thing is to shunt out the guilt part. I started my PhD when my daughter was 7 and son, 3. Just finished it. We all can do it - sometimes we need to time the stuff.
    Good luck and Best Wishes.
