If Life Were A Balancing Act, I'd Be Hanging On By My Little Toe!

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!  :) )
