Family Time

Today has been another nice day spent with my family. Yesterday I thought we had a nice day together navigating the rather mild Black Friday. Today we did a bit more shopping and are ending at Mimi's again because they gave us a coupon yesterday and we wanted to take advantage of it.

My husband and I are the sort that don't need to be together all the time. We pretty much always do our own thing with moments of togetherness. Then you factor in that we both work full time and my job often requires a lot of work at home as well, and in the end we don't get a whole lot of family time. Then there is our son. I am really impressed with his creativity, resourcefulness, and independence. He is an only child and that worried me for a time, but as I see him grow and interact with his environment I am very pleased. No family is perfect, nor is there any right way to have a family. I like my family, sometimes we do too much of our own thing, but we also have quality family time. I enjoy alone time and family time very much. There is a such thing as too much of one or the other for me, but for me the key is balance.
