When I started this back to school thing in March, I had visions of shiny pencils, crisp new textbooks and essays with a giant "A" circled in red. I didn't picture: piles of laundry, errands, children in and out, and in and out, and in and out of the house - doors slamming behind. I didn't picture the doorbell ringing every single time I sat down, spread out my papers and settled my laptop on my lap. I didn't picture dozing off while editing this ridiculously annoying 26 page paper FOR THE THIRD TIME. I didn't realize that my writing would bore me to tears, and that I'd feel so inept.
It's making me a little bit nuts - the juggling of it all. And the problem is that it's all good stuff to juggle and I don't want to give any of it up. I'm annoyed that I thought it would be easier than it is and that I thought I would suddenly become organized and efficient. Which it isn't and I haven't. So there's that.
So maybe a cape is what I need. Or a nap.
KICK THAT PAPER'S ASS!!!!
and you could get a sign for the front door.... "please come back much later"

Hang in there, Shelley! It's SOOO worth it! I agree with the sign idea, too.

Smiling that I stumbled upon your site! I'm so far in the "click link" "click link" "click link" mode that I'm no longer sure of whom I found you through! haha Doesn't matter - I'm just thrilled I did!
I can feel your pain regarding your "way too busy to be organized" troubles. I hope things calm down for you soon! A cape would be cool though - wouldn't it? Although then you'd be expected to always be able to throw it on and BE that super-woman!
I love love love your "Hats" post! Soooo awesome!
Smiles, Lorie
