So it’s been a few weeks since I lasted posted anything on my blog, although I am constantly coming up with topics to write about. I have managed to glance at my Word Press app to read over some of the posts that catch my eye, and even respond to a few of them. But my goal was to devote at least one day a week to my blog after starting a new part-time job. Unfortunately that has not been the case.

My day starts at 6:00am, waking up to dress and feed my 5 year old so that he is ready when his school bus arrives. Then it’s time for my daughter to get up and ready for school. Thankfully she is old enough to dress and feed herself, so it’s just a matter of making sure she gets out of bed. I drop her off at school, then I do chores, run errands and get at least 4-5 hours of work done before it’s time for the kiddos to come home.

By the time I get my daughter a snack begin preparing dinner, feed and bathe my son, and get him bed, I am exhausted. So this routine has made blogging feel like a chore rather than a passion.

Today I decided to stop for a few minutes to make an effort to “get back in the saddle”. It’s important to make time for things and people that are important to us, and writing about my life as a caregiver is important to me. There are so many misconceptions about having a disability that I feel I must shed light on, in an effort to help others understand how challenging it is for the individual and the caregiver, as well bringing awareness regarding the limitations society puts on people with disabilities.

As always, thanks for reading.
