Overwhelmed??

I seriously have a lot on my plate right now. School for GA, Murph, me, yoga for GA and Murph, Pilates for me, soccer for Murph, singing for GA (with her best buddies!), swimming for GA and Murph, possibly tumbling...I realize a lot. First, Millie doesn't get to do anything! Ha. No, I realize I need to make more time for Trevor! And for me. And for grocery shopping...while pushing a NORMAL cart, not one of those fricken car carts that the kids go crazy over. They add ten minutes to the shopping trip because I have to do 39 point turns to get out of an aisle! I digress.

Murphy, Millie and I went on a walk and ended at his yoga class at 10:00. Only we were the only ones there because...well Smarty Pants....yoga is at 1:00 for Murphy. 4:00 for GA. SOCCER is at 10:00 NEXT week for Murphy. "Get a calendar" you are probably thinking. I have one. I have two as a matter of fact. Doesn't matter. I have officially turned in to THAT lady once again. That lady who forgets to pick up her kid from band camp.

Yet I keep doing it to myself. I just started my class at GU and am going to love it. I love the feeling I get when I'm in school. Like there are new beginnings all over the place. So much to learn, so many cool people to meet. I feel responsible. Then I go home and feel the same way. There have been times when I am bored. I hate being bored. I make it so I am not bored often. When I am bored I am thinking of the things I should/could/ought to do. When my schedule is full I just...DO. I do things. I get things done. Kids get where they need to get (even if it's three hours early). In the long run - who cares!? Who cares that Georgia put together her school ensemble and looked like a Mormon (nothing against Mormons - just not a current trend in Glamour magazine). Or that Millie throws an arch-back temper tantrum at the grocery store because I helped in her in the cart, when in fact she wanted out only to get back in herself. If things were perfect, they'd be boring. And I don't like boring.
