:::finding a balance:::

I think if you could evenly divide my life into three pieces of pie, it would go something like this; home, crafty/bloggy and dance.

I have yet to find a happy balance between these three things. I tend to throw myself wholeheartedly into one area, and as a result the other two suffer. Lately it's been dance. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance! Which is awesome. But my house is in shambles, I'm woefully behind on two swaps, not to mentioned I have not crafted a single thing yet this year, never mind crafting for Christmas... Mix in a heavy dose of financial/car problems/everything in our house breaking around us and this makes for one stressed out Sarah.

Excuse me while I pity party for just a minute, but today Matt and I went grocery shopping for the first time in THREE WEEKS. We had no food in the refrigerator. I had the hungry shakes more than a few times over the past few weeks. Today's shopping trip was joyous indeed!

I have also been staying away because of an e-mail that I received from Blogger about a week ago. As of a month from now, they will no longer support blogs that upload via FTP, like mine. I programmed my blog painstakingly over six years ago, with a code book at my direct side at all time. Computer speak has changed quickly over the years, and Blogger's "helpful" tutorials on how to transition just about make me want to cry. I do not understand them, and yet I have a month to figure it out so that Geek+Nerd doesn't get wiped out.

Enough of that...I just had to air out where I am at the moment. My belly is full, I have projects awaiting me, and Monday is a national holiday! You can bet I will be busting out the sewing machine...and maybe a code book.

Tell me, do you have any tips for finding balance in your life? Or how about strategies to dig yourself out of a winter funk!?
