If life were a balancing act, I would be hanging on by my little toe.
Barely.
Life can be crazy. And once you throw kids into the mix, it can get insane.
Sometimes I feel like the main attraction at the three ring circus: Mommy the Juggler. Let's see how much she can keep in the air at the same time:
8 year old - CHECK! (please note that these first 5 are all equal - no favoritism at my house!)
6 year old - CHECK!
4 year old - CHECK!
1 year old - CHECK!
DadOf4 - CHECK!
(Now it gets a little trickier!)
Healthy Meals Together - CHECk
Homework - CHEck
Playdates - CHeck
Outside time - Check
Kitty Cat Care - check
(Uh oh, something's gotta give!)
Excercise - *heck
Volunteering at school - **eck
Housework (much to the chagrin of DadOf4)- ***ck
Keeping in touch with old friends - ****k
Irrational Emontions - ***** (the kids', not mine)
Now, what was I forgetting, oh yeah...
MomOf4 - (blank, blank, blank, blank, blank)
Time to build up that little toe muscle and pull myself up again. I guess that is why I started blogging again. No one else may read this, but it is a good outlet for my whining/*itching/moaning. (And of you are reading this, make my day and post a comment! :) )

Awesome description of how I think we all feel! And so good to see you blogging more again. :)
Hang on my friend, hang on! :) You are one the best jugglers I know.
Some days we juggle better than others hey! You can only do so much...
I would like to tell ya as they get older it will get easier but so far that hasn't happen here.. But the good news is.. YOU get use to it and become better at the crazy.. It just becomes a way of life that you embrace and enjoy.
