00:00:00.916 --> 00:00:03.606
>> [Background Music] As
far as keeping, you know,

2
00:00:03.936 --> 00:00:08.246
a balance in life, you know,

3
00:00:08.646 --> 00:00:10.076
while I was working,
It was hard.

4
00:00:10.316 --> 00:00:13.336
>> Truthfully, I don't think
I keep them in balance.

5
00:00:14.146 --> 00:00:17.586
Work probably dominates.

6
00:00:17.586 --> 00:00:19.556
>> I'm a care, I'm a caretaker.

7
00:00:19.716 --> 00:00:21.976
You know, I'm the
main cook in the house

8
00:00:22.326 --> 00:00:24.566
and the main transportation
person.

9
00:00:24.566 --> 00:00:25.706
I'm the scheduler.

10
00:00:26.236 --> 00:00:27.696
So I spend a lot of time caring.

11
00:00:28.186 --> 00:00:32.356
What I don't spend a lot of
time is caring for myself.

12
00:00:33.296 --> 00:00:35.496
So for me, that is
the biggest challenge.

13
00:00:35.986 --> 00:00:41.246
But I don't know if
that is different

14
00:00:41.246 --> 00:00:43.246
than people without
disabilities.

15
00:00:43.826 --> 00:00:48.456
I think that's a very big
problem for working mothers,

16
00:00:48.836 --> 00:00:53.136
especially, even if they have
a great partner, like I do.

17
00:00:53.786 --> 00:00:56.676
>> There's, of course, a lot
of stress in everyone's life,

18
00:00:56.676 --> 00:00:59.206
and certainly there
are in our life too.

19
00:00:59.796 --> 00:01:05.126
You need to find a way to
try to relieve that stress.

20
00:01:05.316 --> 00:01:09.046
We have a membership
to an organization here

21
00:01:09.046 --> 00:01:10.266
in New Jersey called The Grounds

22
00:01:10.266 --> 00:01:13.286
for Sculpture that's
fairly near to our house.

23
00:01:13.636 --> 00:01:15.576
We enjoy walking those grounds.

24
00:01:15.976 --> 00:01:19.816
>> Looking back now, I wish
that I had listened to some

25
00:01:19.816 --> 00:01:24.576
of my friends, who were very
balanced in their lives,

26
00:01:24.976 --> 00:01:30.006
and made the time to leave my
job on time and go to classes,

27
00:01:30.136 --> 00:01:35.466
go to a yoga class, go to,
you know, go to the pool

28
00:01:36.146 --> 00:01:39.226
and to keep myself balanced.
