A Day at the Circus

Do you ever feel like you are the ringmaster of a three ring circus? I do.


Ring 1
Juggling Acts:
  • Laundry
  • Bills
  • Cooking
  • Patience (the ball that always gets dropped)
  • Spending time with the kids.
  • Spending time with DH
  • House work (other than cooking, laundry and bills!)

Ring 2
Jumping Through Hoops of Fire (other wise know as work)

Hoop 1 making my staff happy and keeping up morale.
Hoop 2 meeting deadlines and filing reports
Hoop 3 keeping my desk organized and with out random piles.
Hoop 4 staying connected to the children I work with (if I make it through the 1st three hoops!)

Ring 3
Walking the tight rope (also known as taking time for myself)

This is the act that I am still trying to figure out.......that tight rope is so damn thin that I keep falling off at:
_____exercising______eating right_______scrapbooking______destressing__


I find that my life is some what overwhelming, and I wonder what kind of ringmaster I truely am.....somedays I barely escape being eaten by the lion of life! I bet Barnum & Bailey would never hire me!!!! Is there a ringmaster school anywhere out there? Random thought of the day..... Children who want to run away and join the circus turn into adults who live the life. Am I even making any sense?

Well I guess its back to circus for me, hope I've made you at least chuckle a bit....hey wait a minute perhaps I can be a clown instead of a ringmaster.....at least my children would have fun!
