Mommy Track'd

I have discovered an excellent website for working mom's, http://www.mommytrackd.com/. I have been reading articles that I can totally relate to. For instance, I have been juggling around the concept of a "balanced" life. And then I read the following paragraph from an article on mommytrackd.com:

Balance Is Bunk
Go for acceptance--expect and accept imbalance. Find your own comfort zone. Work your own plan. Accept that your day to day life simply isn't always going to flow smoothly. You have to cede a certain amount of control in your life--especially if you have kids. Some days you're going to feel like, "Shit! I'm so overextended. That feeling can be extremely frustrating--until you say to yourself, "You know, things are just always going to be kind of out of balance."And once you do that--once you expect at least a little normal life chaos, and stop beating yourself up over it--acceptance takes over. And here's the irony: once we begin expecting and accepting imbalance, that mind-set paradoxically guides us to periods of--guess what?--balance.
Forgetting Balance is Freeing

This article was freeing and exactly what my heart had been saying all along. Love it!
