In My Basket

I am a multi-tasker no doubt. I can have ten things going at just about any given time. Currently I am sewing dresses for Pride and Prejudice, and I have just been asked to step in and help as backstage manager, planning for a 6th & 7th grade literature class using a book that is not offering up much in the way of obvious activities, schlepping kids to work, ballroom dancing, rehearsal and any of a number of other activities, trying to maintain a modicum of cleanliness, feed my family food that is not in the plastic category which requires menu planning and grocery shopping, balance a budget with income the size of my pinkie toe, help a laid-off husband (yep again!) find a job, work my own job, and occasionally sleep.
As I am typing this I hear the sound of breaking glass - and have to go clean up an oil lamp that got knocked over in the living room. Ugh.
I have too much stuff in my basket. I can't wait for summer. Need.more.lattes.

In case you haven't noticed my blog has gotten a lot quieter! After Emily's comment yesterday I realized that the music player on my blog was even getting on MY nerves. I have another one that is a little gentler that goes with my new blog design that will be revealed soon, very soon.

  6. Maybe you need less lattes and a good nights sleep! Send all the kids to Grandmas for an overnight. Picture it - you, the bed, a good book - no noise, chaos or demands for 8 or 9 hours. Wow, I feel refreshed just typing this...

  7. Stay at home moms are so hard working. Sometimes I come to work just to get a break! Hopefully things will calm down for you soon. In the meantime, hang in there eventually you'll look back at these times and miss them.
