Friday Fun: We've All Been There

Happy Friday!  Today I will share with you an image that has been popular on my Facebook page.  I am sure all of you parents can relate!

I don't know where this came from, but I know this is SO my life. :)

Have a great weekend, all you multitasking parents!

Running on Empty

"Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels

I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels...

Running on, running on empty,

Running on, running blind,

Running on, running into the sun

But I'm running behind."

--"Running on Empty", Jackson Browne

Anna has one of those drawing pads with the special pen where you draw a picture or write something and then you can slide a little bar across the bottom, erase it, and start over.

You too can own this doodle pad

That’s a good metaphor for my to-do list.  Just when I have that feeling of accomplishment, having finished a project or task, it seems to get wiped out and immediately replaced by something else. Sometimes, it’s nearly impossible to keep up with it.

Multitasking: It Ain't What It Used to Be

It was Friday afternoon, around 3:30. I had been gone all morning for Kelsey’s honors program orientation at college. 

Anna and I sat in the waiting room while the “car guy” was changing my oil and looking into an issue with my check engine light.  Normally, this would be sheer playtime with Anna, but noooo. Not this time.
