How Long has it been....

I'm forgetting to do the things that I once loved doing. Ever since I started working, I've had a difficult time just doing the things I use to love doing while the kids and the hubby are away. I haven't picked up a paint brush in a while. I haven't taken a walk just to take pictures. There are no good excuses really - my heart just hasn't been in it. Life has been busy. I'm trying to build a life for my boys but what is the cost of all this? is there a balance?
Love,
