Juggle

Lately I've been wondering how long I can keep juggling it all.

HOME. {My favorite place to be} Calvin. Elio. Brandon. Pets. Laundry, Groceries, Meals, Cleanings, Homework, Bills, Budgets, Receipts, Phonecalls, Texts, Calendars, Scheduling, Doctor, Dentist, Eyes, Cars.
WORK. 40ish hours M-F. Intense. Demanding. 100's of phonecalls, emails, & reports. Emergencies,Customer service, Scheduling, Calendars, Stress, Rewarding, Fulfilling, Happy endings, Sad endings, Career, Respect, Validation.
FAMILY. Sports, Phonecalls, Emails, Dinners, Homework, Church, Stress, Love.
CHURCH. Serving, Lesson Planning, Attendance, Second Family.
SCHOOL. Discussion Boards, Papers, Reading, Typing, Emails, Validation, Networking, Future.

ME: Shower? Clothes? Hair? Eat? {if I have time}

FRIENDS: Facebook, Texts, Phonecalls, Cards, Gifts, Time to have fun...

Don't get me wrong~ I LIKE staying busy, and I cannot sit still for long. I am always doing several things at once, making lists, and planning. I also know when to say "NO" and I have said "YES" to most things that I'm currently doing because I enjoy them and want to do them.

The problem keeps coming back to one thing on the above list: Work.

It's been obvious that I may/need/should leave my 9-5 job behind to focus full time on family, church, and furthering my education so that I can have a more peaceful career in the future.

It's just a matter of when & how. I'm still trusting. Juggling all these plates is wearing on me, but I'm going to power through. I always have, and I always will.

I just hope I don't drop any plates. No one likes a circus act that flops.
