That Elusive Balance

This weekend I am pondering how to find balance again.

Work, though I love it, is nuts. There are not enough hours in a day for me to accomplish everything there is to do. And I am having a really hard time trying to figure out what to do or not do. How to keep it all straight. What my priorities need to be. etc. I need to ask my boss, but frankly, I'm pretty sure he doesn't know either. I keep thinking it will slow down, I'll catch up, catch my breath. The 2010 books are closed and we're making appointments to do the taxes with the accountant. And I'm a week behind on everything else. And there's those little nagging things I need to find time to do and can't. To top it all off, L is on vacation next week, so somehow I'll need to cover for both of us... ahhhhhhhhhh.

The need for balance is highlighted by the fact that I am coming home on the weekend feeling guilty for things I didn't have time to get done, remembering details I couldn't quite accomplish because I was pulled into meetings or doing the high priority thing from my boss right then.

I've got to find enough balance to get my life back. To leave work at work. To stop dreaming about it. To leave at a reasonable hour. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how...

And, like all my rant about work posts, I am still enjoying it. I like what I'm doing and who I'm doing it with. I just need to find some balance in it.
