March and April 07

I started the week with great hopes and I ended it feeling more mixed than a milkshake. (In my case, the definition of mixed is having all kinds of crazy ideas and enough energy to actually do them.)
Husband managed to talk me out of the worst ones. I did end up buying a pair of totally unnecessary opera glasses when there's better uses for $20 around here.

Invariably, my first reaction, when I come back down to earth, is guilt. I shook it off. I can only cope with a certain amount stress and this was grossly exceeded this week by trying to do it all. Wait, perhaps I should feel guilt... for allowing this to happen!
The biggest reason why I only have one child is because I can only cope with one. Yet somehow during the course of the day I end up with two or more. Add the taxes, the work, the shopping, the cleaning and the cooking and there you have it. Ovomaltine.

But no, most women like me think there must be something inherently wrong with them for feeling overwhelmed with all of this.

Next week will not be much better, son is still on school vacation. However, there's only our dirty sneakers parked outside the hallway today. Gives a bit of time to put things in a different perspective.




Yikes. Son's shoes are almost as big as mine. When did it happen?
