When I hear larder, oh you know, like twice a day, I always think of Hams, whole goats & maybe pheasants hanging. Maybe that's a smokehouse. A-Boy would just come find me. ;-)<br /><br />Charlotte - Welcome!

Can't say I ever quite manage to balance in the middle, but the wild swings back and forth seem to work.Charlotte Rains Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657052065864065323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1314638420644210764.post-21964104735242470822011-09-22T04:19:03.283-07:002011-09-22T04:19:03.283-07:00I used to have a walk-in pantry (larder?) that I u...I used to have a walk-in pantry (larder?) that I used to shut myself in when I felt I needed a moment away from the kids.<br /><br />That's probably not what you meant by 'balance', but that's what sprang to mind when I read this post.

I always plan more than I can ever get done in a day, put my head down and charge forward. At the end of the day I'm exhausted and I usually tell myself I have no reason to be, since I didn't even complete half the things on my list.<br /><br />Even with self-awareness, I do this day after day.JHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786972630390815103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1314638420644210764.post-78818236842891666372011-09-21T07:07:10.352-07:002011-09-21T07:07:10.352-07:00Well, obviously you know my opinion on the questio...Well, obviously you know my opinion on the question of balance, lol. It's only necessary, I suppose, if you have a lot of priorities all clamoring for the top spot. If I had no kids or household to run, maybe it would be okay to write indiscriminately and neglect my health. At this point it I tried that, all of the spinning plates would crash around my ears and nothing would happen at all.<br /><br />Good luck with the new blog venture. I'm glad you'll be writing more. :)Kerry Schaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821175497518362926noreply@blogger.com
