One mom in the constant struggle to stay on top of EVERYTHING

One mom in the constant struggle to stay on top of (seemingly) everything: kids, husband, family, friends, pets, our health, school, work, the house, the groceries, the meals, her looks, the holidays, the toys, the mess, the birthday parties, the gifts, the playdates, growing good human beings -- ALL OF IT! And most importantly, trying to keep her sanity and enjoy herself.

Oh, the irony...

I can't stay on top of my blog.

I have too much to do.  With my Stella & Dot business, my Otis class, my kids' schools and things at home, I'm tapped out.  I oftentimes try to be mom of the year and make crafts and cupcakes and decorate for the kids.  Halloween time REALLY brings that out in me, so I've been busy with that.  Perhaps later I'll post on all of those crafty things I've done recently.  I'll also let you know that my husband has been gone an awful lot in the last month which does make things harder at home.  To top all of that, I just got to write an article for Woman's Day magazine rounding out a 360 view of caregiving.  My mom and grandma also wrote pieces.  Can anyone say busy?!

Regarding the blog,  I seem to feel like I need to post something really interesting to many when most of the time, not much of that comes to mind.  I'm really focused on what's interesting to me and the "have-to-do"s, of which I have so many.  Too many.  I feel like these posts need to be long and involved when honestly, I just don't have the time!  Staying on top of it?  So ironic.  Why did I name it that?  It's been more than a month since my last post.  So here's the deal:  I'll post more often but it may be short and most of the time no one will be interested.  Deal?  Don't you want to bookmark me?

Anyone want to hear about Art Nouveau in England or France?  How about the Vienna Secession or the Victorian Era?  The Arts & Crafts movement?  No?  I have another test next week so I must get back to studying.  I had better do well and keep up my status of best in class (is that just for dogs?).  I got 100% on my first test without any of the bonus questions; 135% (or whatever, I know 135% doesn't make sense) with bonus questions.  Highest grade in the class.  I think that's a first for me.  I studied my ASS off though.  Aaaaannnndddd, it paid off.  Whaddya know.  While I studied a lot at Poly, Boulder?  Not so much.  It's been a long time.

So here's this post for now -- to show you (who?  I don't know.  I guess the people who say, Hey!  That's cool you have a blog!) I'm still alive.  Yay.  I'll try to be back later without studying on my mind.  I can't promise interesting, though.  I'll do my best.

  1. Good blog... and blogging often is "hawd" to do, even when you are not busy.
