I think in every life there comes a time when you look at where you are in life and say "well, this is clearly my mother's/father's/parent's fault". Today, I have come to realize that my penchant for being overly social and active is my father's fault. Sorry, Dad. Never did my parents truly push me to do a myriad of activities, but by example I followed suit.
Dad has always been busy. Even now that he should be 'retired' (we'll use that word lightly) he works 40+ hours a week raising funds to restore a theatre in the town where they live. Not only that but he is always doing something for various committees or editing plays or going to a meeting, or working on the house. Generally speaking, he is just a busy bee.
I, too, have always been busy. In high school I joined the choir, joined the tennis team, joined the soccer team, was in a community orchestra, took cello lessons, joined the swim team, joined the track team, was part of the musicals, babysat, etc...
Now, as a stay at home mom I feel busier than I did when I had a full time job! It has just hit me in the past two weeks that I am doing TOO much. However, I like every thing that I do. How do you decide what is most important?
