Only semi rediculous

I don't like being busy. I'm not a "chaos junkie." I don't have an overloaded schedule with work, church, kids sports, school, date night, and an immaculate house and yard. So I'm not quite sure how "busy" ended up on my schedule.

This next month includes the following:
MOPS 2010 year: I'm taking on publicity, having a blog, facebook account, possibly twitter, newsletter, and random other tasks. If I was computer illiterate, this might be fast. But it's a slow learning curve for me. And my children are not cooperating by sleeping at the same time during the day. I'm pushing my perfectionist urge aside and letting the blog be a work in progress. Better to have something up than nothing.

Patrick starts preschool: We'll be needing supplies and perhaps a few new school clothing items. And I'm imagining there will be other errands involved with this.

ACLS: Advanced Cardiac Life Support training for work. 2 weeks where I might just be calling YOU to help watch my two kids. Kevin cannot take the time off work that's demanded for this. Oh, and I get to miss Patrick's first two days of school for this damn thing.

EFM Updates: More work fun involving a book, a class, and reading ahead of time. The week following ACLS.

Add the various appointments to make, bank accounts to balance, paperwork to file/shread/throw to the devil, bills to pay, children to entertain, dogs to walk, husband to manage, friends to keep in touch, errands to run...

And Kevin and I are figuring out how to replace the floor. Pergo or IKEA?

I remind myself that small children grow and the busy-ness changes, but you can actually get stuff done again. In the meantime, I walked away from Fiona for 30 seconds. In which she crawled from her bedroom to the bathroom and got herself into a standing position holding onto the bathtub. She's six months, for Goodness Sake.
