Running in Quicksand

I've been humming along on top of my crazy schedules. Finally comfortable with the pace, not really forgetting much lately. And then, the wheels came off...I don't think it was one event in particular that really threw me, but contributing factors were an unexpected ear infection and all of the urgent treatment required and all of the sick, miserable kid stress. Then My Amazing Husband ran the Marathon this past weekend. And "what can I do for you's" and "do we have the right kind of Gatorade" and "what else can I do's"? And then the "no-big-deal" expander at the orthodontist last week for son #1 that turned out to be a big deal. I had a slack-jawed miserable child who felt like he couldn't even swallow, let alone eat anything, all weekend. Then HE got the ear infection. Roll all of this into the many, many end of the year school activities that require planning and scheduling. I just plain need an organizational day.

Did I mention all of the Mother's day orders that are coming in? More tomorrow...
