Balance

I should be sweeping. I should be emptying the dishwasher. I should be reading to my kids. I should pull weeds. I should take a nap. I should catch up on my scrapbooking. I should read more. I should get back to training for the triathlon and not scratch out this year. I should learn how to play the mandolin I\’ve had for 8 years. I should make pirate hats. I should play outside with my kids. I should put the meat in the freezer/fridge from our Costco trip. I should file my nails and pluck my eyebrows. I should finish the laundry. I should make the kids some lunch.

How can I read, blog, play with my kids, teach my kids, practice music, keep a clean home, be creative in my scrapbooking (just do ANY scrapbooking), exercise daily, tend to my garden, spend time with friends, sleep, and date my husband? I know I need to change some expectations, but I also know I want to fit it all in.

This is my summer challenge. I think scrapbooking is out until the fall…. I\’m off to sweep the kitchen floor…
