A day in my life

Today was a typical day - it went something like this:

4:45am wake up (without an alarm clock)
5:00am work in home office
6:30am workout at gym
7:15am take a shower; helped hubby get my 7 year old off to school; got ready for work
9:00am work day 'officially' starts; busy with appointments, phone calls and real estate stuff
5:00pm word day ends - dinner with family
5:30pm Clean up after dinner; give kids a bath, laundry, mom stuff
7:30pm kids in bed
7:45pm put older kid BACK to bed
8:00pm collapse on the coach - first time relaxing all day
9:00pm passed out - off to bed!

Tomorrow I'll do it all over again - 6 days a week. Am I complaining?? Well, it's a tiring, often stressful schedule. When I'm not dealing with the challenges of running a business in this day in age, I'm dealing with raising 2 children in this day in age. To think back before I was married and had kids, life was easy, wasn't it?? But back then it wasn't. How did it become so busy? So complicated? It sneaks up on you. Looking at my schedule, it may seem like I'm complaining. Well, lets see.......

I have a terrific husband of 15 years that has stood by me during these crazy economic times and never doubts that I will be successful in my real estate career. He's a wonderful husband and father (he cooks, he cleans, he changes diapers - need I say more?).

I have 2 beautiful, healthy children who have smiles that light up the room. One look at them at the end of the day makes everything seem right.

I have a roof over my head, food in the cabinets, cars in the driveway and most importantly, my health.

So, am I complaining about the long hours and the crazy schedule??? Not at all - I consider myself lucky:)
