It has been a while since I posted, but it hasn't been because I haven't had any time. It has been great to come home and completely leave all of my work at work. I can come home and I don't have to think about work until I go back the next day. The problem is that the next day is coming a lot faster than it should. In order to maximize my earnings and quickly build my clinical hours towards full licensure, Kari and I decided that it would be okay for me to see clients until 7 PM most nights and occasionally see clients until 8 PM. Because the late afternoon/ early evening hours are the prime time that clients want to come to sessions, those slots filled quickly. The good news is that I'm still getting some good time with my family during the week. I'm not going into the office until 10 AM two mornings a week, and I'm home by 12:30 on Fridays. This allows me to spend much more time with Aidan and Regan. Kari and I get to spend time together after the kids go to bed at 8:30. Of course, the weekends are great too. The problem is that doing things online, even email and web surfing, has fallen way down the priority list. Additionally, I'm beat when I get home, and I don't necessarily want to sit in front of a computer screen. Between seeing 15-20 clients per week, maximizing time with family, and enjoying life, I simply don't want to take the time to revitalize my online life. It's nice and all, but not a high priority. Even right now, the only reason I'm posting is that Kari is working late and the kids are already in bed. I actually have nothing better to do. I don't think life will stay like this forever, but for now it's alright. So what if I don't write that often? It's not like thousands of loyal readers are hanging on my every word, right?
Right?... hello?...

I'm always interested in what you have to say. But I have also noticed that several of my daily bloggers are not writing as often as they used to. I haven't either since the 1st of May. Its time consuming and as much as I like to blog, I have to have a real desire to spend the hour it takes to get it online. But don't completly stop. I am sure others like me, check in from time to time.
Time with your family is by far more important.
I feel the same way. What I like about my blog is that I don't have a legion of loyal readers anxiously awaiting my next post. That takes the pressure off and lets me post only when I feel like it.
I'm one of those that keeps you on my "check in" list. Glad to hear you are settling in to a routine that is maximizing family time. And yes, that is the most important thing. Actually, I hear one of mine crying right now. I thought she was asleep already!
You are so lucky. My throngs of readers come stand at my doorstep with pitchforks and torches if I haven't chronicled my latest foibles in more than a fortnight. Oh, to be ignored!
