I am an Unbalanced woman!

Okay. So I did a funny/ridiculous thing. I actually thought with it being summer, life would take a bit of a breather. No homework/school stuff for the kids, just turn on the sprinklers, fill up the pool and relax a bit....HAHA! I know what dreamland am I living in right? It seems life has decided to hurtle into warp speed and I'm left hangin' on just trying to keep everyone's arms legs inside the ride until it comes to a complete stop. I have managed to accomplish some things leaving me refreshingly relieved, but I also look ahead to all those daunting goals and tasks glaring at me and not which to focus on next and I want to crawl under (pausing here to feed the fam dinner)...um where was I? Oh yes, crawl under my covers and just hide in my bed until they go to college. (I know you know what I'm talking about)I haven't been able to decide what I should now focus on in my bits of free time between, beginning the next step of research for my historical fiction (studying the orthodox church),writing more of my historical fiction, finishing the transcript of the family history my father has translated, writing more on my other book, finish reading the multi-biography on Abraham Lincolns presidency and cabinet so I can start my next goal of reading War and Peace, or should I just bag it all for awhile and read whatever no brainer-easy read I want! Well, the solution I've come up with is to read Confessions of an Unbalanced Woman by Emily Watts, because let's face it folks. I'm unbalanced!!!!! Maybe this'll give me some much needed insight?

  1. I LOVE Emily Watts! She's thoroughly entertaining, but has a "normal woman's" perspective too. No one told me that summer time is crazier than the school year (first year with a kid in school)...I expected the exact opposite and there definitely should have been a paper sent home about that news!

  2. I can only giggle, enjoy the ride, your grandpa told me "maxine, these are the best years of your life." It's like the plaque you made me."you never know when you're making a memory." Life really is good. hugs for a good day, mom

  3. I agree! Totally! I have not quit running this whole summer, and my mindless novel is not quite as good as yours, but it does the trick... "Hunger Games"

  4. Sorry babe, it's wonderful, but as they grow it's just as hard, sometimes harder, in a different way. I think it has something to do with when you finally get it figured out, things change to the next phase!
