I'm a mom and I work full-time at an office (yes, outside the home). So that basically means I have two full-time jobs. Plus I'm married (to a man, so you know that's rough), which adds on another part-time position. Also I have a lot of hobbies I like to dabble in to help me feel like I'm actually accomplishing something with my time rather just wasting it sitting in an ugly, gray cubicle or taking care of everybody else's desires all day, every day. Oh yeah, and then I have a gaggle of friends and family I like to mingle with.
That's a lot of stuff to juggle in most 24 hour periods. Here is where I try to steal a little time now and then to unload some of the miscellany that fills up my head. Of course, I usually only find time to write this when I'm at the office because I'm much too busy at home.
Wait a minute....did I say 'steal'? That's really a misnomer. Journaling is therapy, right? It's good for the soul. It eases stress. So this is really something I have to do. Like another job. Sometimes you've just got to vent!
