The Constant Rush

So I've determined that my life is in a permanent state of HURRY.

That is, if I want to accomplish anything of value. Like exercise, attending church, going to the pool, doing the laundry, cleaning the house, going to the park. You get my drift.

I remember thinking how I couldn't even eat breakfast when Gavin was a baby. Maybe that's why I'm gaining weight now...

But back on point. Three kids = commotion.

Getting to 9 am church is going to take serious effort, if not a little yelling :) My house is going to be messy a lot of the time, because I'd much rather spend time doing anything else. 8 am gym classes are just going to be bypassed.

This constant feeling that I have to HURRY to take a shower, or drive FASTER to get to dance classes may not leave anytime soon. Maybe it's the territory of a family of 5. Or maybe my personality type just puts us in these situations.

What do you think. Am I alone in this spiral?

Holy cow- this sums up my life. I constantly feel like I am running around with my head cut off. And yes- to get stuff done I honestly don't know how to avoid it. However- I hate it at the same time. I guess this is life? Nice to know I am not alone.

I feel completely the same. I always want to fit everything in, but would much rather roll a ball with my kids than fold that last load of laundry. And, in the whole big scheme of things... which one is really more important? At least your laundry is CLEAN! And, if my kids are alive at the end of the day (and I am too) then, I consider that day a success!
