Busy Busy

Trying to do it all is hard. This weekend I got to play golf on Saturday (YA-HOO!). Played terribly, but it was fun. Then my wife headed to NJ for a bridal shower on Sunday. So from Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening, it was just me and the kids. Daddy time. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work. Makes me appreciate more what my wife, and other "stay at-home" parents do everyday. We had fun. A little shopping at Home Depot. My son "helped me" fix some things around the house. Ya know, just the "big guys", while my daughter napped. Just some good time to spend doing nothing else than being/playing with the kids. There is not enough of it though. Yesterday was back to work/baseball. I didn't get home until "tubby-time" and put my daughter to sleep, then read books with my son. My wife was exhausted from the weekend, the driving, the long day, and of course, being pregnant. She is doing a great job through it all. I cannot wait until baseball is over, then the school year. I have a summer internship for my master's degree, but should have a lot more time for the family. It seems to never end though. Trying to balance being a good-provider and being home for family time is almost impossible. This is something it seems many families struggle a lot with these days.
