Ohio

Today I'm in Ohio at the OFA showcase which is a huge tradeshow for the greenhouse industry. Kev and I are learning lots of new things as well as hearing confirmation concerning ideas we've talked about. I always enjoy this and get pumped but then I get home and find it hard to make these ideas happen. The biggest reason for me is that I am raising a family and am not willing to be a workaholic. I feel my time will come when they are older but want to be careful that I don't do too much now. I want to be available when my kids need me. I enjoy being home and being a mom. I have lots of years to work. I feel like I'm on a yo-yo sometimes...work, family, work, family. I love both but how do I balance without burning myself out? As the kids are getting older, I am enjoying more freedom at home and at work. A full nights sleep does wonders! I am able to hand over more responsibility to my kids freeing me up to work a little more.

Anyway, that's my rambling for today. I am heading over to the arena to see Kev play hockey with a group of "plant" guys. He was excited but nervous so I better go see how he's doing.
