Over Extended???

Did you ever have one of those weeks where you are busy. I mean really busy. Constantly running from place to place, hardly have a moment to yourself, even to pee busy! The last 3 weeks have been this way for me. This week was esp. bad. After looking at the calender for next week, I can tell I'm heading into another one. As I surveyed the house this morning I could tell I have been neglecting my huswiffery duties in a big way. I am still neglecting them even now as I write this. But I need a few moments to myself to collect my thoughts and regain some sanity. I know I have brought most of this on myself. I'm the one who decided to go back to school. I'm the one who signed both girls up for girl-scouts. I'm the one who agreed on a babysitting swap (which frankly is working out beautifully). I'm also the one who volunteered to babysit every Tuesday night so another over worked mom and friend could go to institute. The latter is actually my favorite thing I have going on. I really need the warm feeling I get from doing a service. That has been sorely lacking in my life for far too long.

I think I am heading into a time of life that is just generally busy. My kids are getting older, which means more extracurricular goings on. Our callings are more demanding of our time, and if I want to graduate from college, again, my life is going to be full. I am going to accept that this is the way. I am going to pray for strength that I can manage my time better. As soon as homecoming is over I am going to request more help of Jason. Did I mention that his life is crazy busy right now also.

Okay, enough whining, and stalling. I'm going to go clean my house now!
