That is my life lately, zooming from one place to another. It is when I get into these phases that I am in awe of the full time working mother. She is amazing and I don't know how she does it all the time.
I am helping out at R's school while their secretary is on medical leave for a month or so. So I am working 4 hours a day from 9-1. Then I come home and have to get my own hours in (3 per day/15 per week) for my real job. So I'm essentially working 35 hours a week right now. Add to that the usual house stuff and our insane schedule lately with softball/horses/GS/Drama and it has just been nuts. I feel very disconnected in my house, I can't seem to keep up with everything and I just feel like plates are spinning everywhere and I'm trying to keep them going. This afernoon I drove around from place to place that I needed to be with a loaf of bread, turkey and some juice boxes and made sandwiches and fed kids in between activities. So much for our nightly dinner around the table.
It is only a month though and I'll make enough to cover our January plane tickets so it is worth it. I just need to get past the fact that my house will look like this for the next month or so. EEEEK!
So again you full time working mothers, hats off to you! It is not an easy task at all!
On an AI note, David Cook tonight, loved his Switchfoot. We do that song (Dare You to Move) in church and I love it! Tomorrow at 10am tickets go on sale for the AI show with the Poptarts Presale. I have the code and will have my typing fingers ready! Wish me luck!

About Me

- I am a Minivan Mom of 3. Someday I will have a cool car again but for now the Minivan it is. I am a part time secretary. I am a lover of all things Disney, a knitter, an Expo TV user and a painter of things whimsical. I can now add back in owner of a crazy dog though he is the least quirky one we've had yet!

It must be very hard for the working Mom (especially the single one) to do all the things that go along with being "MOM". I am blessed to have the ability to stay home (for now).
I thought the Switchfoot song was just "okay". I preferred his very first song. Hopefully he wins. Maybe David A. will get the boot tonight?????
Oh my, {A}, hang in there! This is that time of the year when the schedule goes wild for so many families. EEK!
I really can't imagine working full-time and effectively managing our life at home. I did do it when M & S were young but it was easy then because the girls were not involved in much of anything and I had two children instead of four.
