Juggling life’s chaos

As a mom, wife, caretaker, maid, driver, teacher, cook, washing machine and dish washer, and to add to the list of to-do’s, I still work in between the choas. Sometimes I feel too busy and to focus on some things I really want to do becomes a chore on its own. And sometimes, I drop the balls too. Somedays I am the main circus clown, juggling 20 balls while riding a unicycle.

I plan my day, I plan my schedule but life gets in the way of everything running smoothly. My plans don’t always work out, sometimes I am too tired and some days, I just want to read or watch a movie instead of getting things done.

So this week has been a successful and productive one. I have done some amazings things and crossed many tasks off my to-do list. I am a happy little unicorn (on a unicycle, still juggling).

Today was no different… successful and I still had some energy to work. I constructed my evening plan. Finish meeting, make chicken fillet burgers, wash dishes, put son to bed and then take a shower. After shower, sit down in my office and work on some more Doodle horse planners. I am full of ideas! I have a whole list, shared by wonderful people who support me.

My husband understood my plan and he was in on it. He even made me a cup of tea. Wonderful right? But then life got in the way of my plans again!!! As I sat down in front of my computer, the electricity went out!!!! What?!?

So there I sat, full of energy, in my comfy pajamas, warm tea, laptop ready to work, but the dark… If that wasn’t a sign from the universe telling me to go to bed and get rest, I don’t know what is.

With my tail between my legs, tea in hand, I went to bed while thinking about this crazy life I live in. There is always something happening.

Somedays, no water – check

Somedays, no electricity- check

Somedays, no wifi – check

Somedays, no sunshine – check

Laundry piling up, cleaning falling behind, work falling behind and motivation going down the drain… Dropping 10 balls as my unicycle hits a rock and wobble over it, trying to keep my balance.

What did I learn?

Always leave room for adjustment, alwasy leave room for change and always be flexible. Life happens. And even though it is crazy at times, it’s wonderful.

Tomorrow is another day and I will try again.
