It's going to be a big transition, but I think we can weather it. <br /><br />Melanie, you are such a sweetie! We do have some amazing times together. Lately, I've been focusing more on quality than quantity. Dan and I put our phones away when we're having family time, and I do the same when we're having a Mommy day so that Finn doesn't feel like second fiddle to an iPhone, or whoever is calling. It's easy to spend time with him and do other things, but it's so much more enjoyable when I just get down to his level and play whatever he is.<br /><br />Russ, totally ;-)<br /><br />Amanda, I hope you can find the balance with the changes you're making in the fall! Huggles to you and Jesse.Sara Spockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580515996953985050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705651098199854614.post-51424843934379466542009-08-13T17:23:38.439-04:002009-08-13T17:23:38.439-04:00I'm in the same boat, 10 classes away from fin...I'm in the same boat, 10 classes away from finishing my degree, but still working 30 hrs/week. It seems like its pulling nails to find time to actually finish it, without neglecting my time with Jesse :)amanda.breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950648130669196426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705651098199854614.post-31303685854511110302009-08-13T11:20:15.045-04:002009-08-13T11:20:15.045-04:00Nothing wrong with dinner at Otto's a couple n...Nothing wrong with dinner at Otto's a couple nights a week.Russ Painternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705651098199854614.post-78407021101950142622009-08-13T10:02:18.139-04:002009-08-13T10:02:18.139-04:00Good luck Sara!

Finn knows you adore him, so even if you're not together as often, you both can cherish the time you DO spend together.<br /><br />Hopefully the recipes work well. That's something we're constantly disagreeing about here.Melanie Hooyengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781235493983907234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705651098199854614.post-82257459611920312602009-08-13T00:14:34.714-04:002009-08-13T00:14:34.714-04:00Gosh, what endeavors!

And what seems so uncertain right now will soon be your new "normal," you just have to work through the transition period.<br /><br />My advice? Remind yourself not everything has to be perfect. You're taking steps to make things better, and that's what counts in the long haul.<br /><br />Good luck, Sara! I'll be thinking of you.Janna Leadbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.com
