Don't forget the fun stuff

Sitting here, eating a Twizzler, waiting for some work to do. Sitting and waiting. There is so much I have to do but can't. So I plan.

1. Schedule dentist appointment for G.
2. Return movies
3. Pay this week's bills
4. We need tortillas and probably milk
5. Fold laundry
6. Buy airline tickets for grandma
7. Etc.

Halloween is just a couple weeks away, then Thanksgiving, then 3 birthdays, G.'s surgery and Christmas, all by Dec. 25, and I still have to work and clean and take care of the family.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed here. I'm trying to take it one step at a time but there just isn't time to take it slow.

What is an over-worked, over-stressed, over-tired mom to do?

1. Skip the dentist and make cookies
2. We didn't watch the movies so we'll go to the playground
3. Pay the bills
4. Get the tortillas and milk
5. Watch the movies while folding laundry
6. Get grandma's ticket
7. Run around like you are 4 years old, laughing hysterically while trying to catch your breath, arms flailing, and collapse into a nap.
