What you are writing about in this post is basically what the title of my blog means. How do you fit it all in, in one day? I'm the mother of a 14 and 18 years old and I've learned that if we don't sweat the small stuff and deal with what's most important our days end up being much easier. For instance, if my house is a little bit dirty when my kids come home from school but one of my kids has had a rotten day; that's what you deal with. You deal with what matters the most. Just my humble opinion! Oh, BTW, I have pneumonia now, too. YUCK!Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11907898358164166259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535460219441857878.post-47993223861530024602011-02-12T08:13:53.597-08:002011-02-12T08:13:53.597-08:00Perfect timing for me to find this post. It's...Perfect timing for me to find this post. It's how I feel lately. The laundry is piling up, the kitchen is a wreck... The kids and I DID get to make Valentine's this morning, but Mommy felt rushed to try to get other things done and I was snappy. Sigh. It is impossible to get everything done and feel it was done right sometimes...<br />Thanks for stopping by from Mom Loop. I'm following you on GFC now, too.OneMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237856383584961580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535460219441857878.post-88077361373961592592011-02-11T14:43:48.530-08:002011-02-11T14:43:48.530-08:00I so don't have the answer--I know I need to s...I so don't have the answer--I know I need to start cleaning up the house as I write this.

In fact this morning I have a million things I could be doing, a thousand I should be doing, yet here I am reading blogs and goofing on facebook ;) <br /><br />One thing I try to do though, is watch a cartoon w/ the boys all cuddled up in bed before coffee and computer time, then limit it to the "I have to get it done right now" stuff on the computer. Then through out the day I alternate between kids, housework, and computer/other crafting.<br /><br />~ your SIL Sara ;)handknitmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365371003907532942noreply@blogger.com
