Who is a blogger anyway?

I recently discovered that no matter the key words I use in a search engine, I ended up at someone's personal blog. And despite having no personal connection with these people, I have spent some (wasted) time reading. I am a reader. I just don't have time for novels anymore. But blogs in short little doses seems manageable and so, here I am. Writing my own.

I am no different than the thousands of other working moms out there. I know that working outside of the home means that I have intentionally created a life full of chaotic schedules and always attempting more than actually possible. But, on the flip side, I have to believe that my family has benefited from this choice and may even thank me for it in the future. I am not a stay-at-home. (bless those of you who are) Moms clubs and playgroups couldn't possibly maintain my interest for long. Be it a curse or a blessing, I am constantly looking for change and my job fulfills me in that way.

I stumbled upon my career but it had to have been divine intervention. I work as the Gym Director for The Little Gym of Germantown, MD. In a typical day, I teach several gymnastics (or dance or karate) classes, answer the phone dozens of times, talk to customers who I know like family. and work alongside co-workers that I genuinely love. It fits me. I can fill my day with children's laughter and high-fives, random song & dance, and still go home to a loving family with little guilt.

As I write this, all three children are asleep in bed and my husband is doing dishes. Can't complain.
