What day is it?

I have no idea what my problem is, but I cannot keep my days straight this week, have been crazy, crazy busy.

What constitutes a hobby? Defining it in my own words, I would say that a hobby is something that is enjoyable, productive (that's totally subjective), and something that one does when time allows or when they are trying to wind down. When I take a good, honest look at myself, I do not have many hobbies... Or maybe I do. Maybe I should just make a solid effort to spend more time doing those things, and trying out some new things.

My list of hobbies is short, but includes reading (this is what I usually do for fun), cleaning, talking on the phone to a certain best friend that will remain nameless to protect her privacy, listening to classical music and books on compact disc in my car (I have a substantial commute), spending time with my kids... taking them to the library, park (weather permitting), generally nurturing them. I am trying to be the very best mom that I can be. It is trying at times, sometimes more than others (especially because now when it is my turn with the kids, it is just me... don't get me wrong, my family helps me TREMENDOUSLY. I don't know what I would do without them).

When I read back on that, it sounds like maybe I am just a busy, working mom of two toddlers. I am going through a divorce. My world fell apart and I am gathering the pieces, finally getting them put back together... maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself. Hobbies or not, I feel as though I am constantly running.

I will consider making a better effort to relax my body and my mind, for now, that is my new "hobby..."
