For the past couple weeks, lets not kid ourselves, the last year or so, I feel like I just can't get on top of things. Whether it is laundry, family, kids, art work, housework, working out, sleep - I just can't seem to be doing any of it right. This is not a pity party, just the truth. I admire those who seem so with it. Are they really? Probably not, at least not when they think of themselves, but I see them, I know who they are and they seem pretty with it to me. Me? Totally aware that I am not with it.

All this is funny because the other portion of feelings that run through me are amazement that I have such wonderful kids, I have such a great home, many things to be thankful for in my life. So many emotions, so little time.

So, now I take a deep breath. I had seen this poster before and thought "Today, I am buying that!" and it is going to go right above my kitchen sink. I am going to read it multiple times a day. It will remind unfurrow my brow and breathe. I recommend one for every household, unless of course you are one of those people, the ones that are totally with it and on top of all things. If you are, I'll try not to kick you when I am down!

editor's note: Ahh, okay, I took a big breath, have had time to chill (a slow trip without kids to the grocery store) and have a little more perspective. But I stand by my rant. I tend to express without filter, but on the bright side, expressing on this blog helped me purge the excess from this emotion, so thank you.
