I know I need to sacrfice something, just trying to be a good mom and a good wife and a good minister. Which is the other thing....I often have meetings at night that start at 7pm and don't get home til 9:30 or so....so if it's a week when I have a meeting, then volleyball, then youth group, that gives me two weeknights free? UGH, it seems impossible.

It looks like maybe your hubby will have to take up some of the slack.

I only get six hours of sleep a night. I spend the evenings with my two kids, then my youngest goes to sleep. My oldest and I go to the gym.

I spend a couple hours with my wife at night and try to be asleep by Midnight. Then, I get up at 6:00am to go do my cardio.

I find that even with less sleep, I am much more energetic and I don't get sleepy after lunch.

Take my post as nothing more than encouragement. I am not trying to bully you into it....

I am also married. I also work in the church. I teach large group in the children's department. I sing in the choir, I do stand up comedy, and I am in the drama department.

It is a lot to juggle.... but you have only one life.... well on this side anyways. I just try to live mine with as few regrets as possible.
