I seem to do that a lot. Even when I am in the mode of simplifying and eliminating like I am now. I cut something out (speaking) and take on something bigger (video editing for church). Between homeschooling, the kids’ sports, and our busy social calendar, there isn’t much time. I am blogging right now at the park during our family bike ride. Bike is parked of course. Last night everyone went to a movie but me and the littles. Still have cleaning and grocery shopping tonight to do. Tomorrow is church, football practice, and a neighborhood potluck. Sometime in there i have to get my school stuff ready and the rest of the laundry done. Sometimes I wonder if I am just kidding myself that I can do anything but be a wife, mom, and homeschool teacher.
This is my baby boy enjoying a giant slice of pizza at Whole Foods. We went for our field trip on nutrition. The kids filled up on all the samples and begged for a way-too-expensive dessert, but I didn’t cave. Hope I can have the same resolve about not putting too much on my plate. 
I think this is an epidemic right now! I think there are just SO many things easily available to us, it’s like trying to drink from a fire hose (one of my favorite analogies I use for many circumstances!).
It’s tough to cut what we pick down to a reasonable level.
I don’t know where you find the extra time to volunteer for things. Frankly, I never seem to be able to get out of the wash — rinse — repeat mode just maintaining things from day to day. No time for extras and I don’t see that changing any time soon.
i think you’re brave to take on more atm than the usual house, mom and homeschool stuff…but i also think you can do it. it’s hard to make time for anything even when you only have one thing that preoccupies your mind.
i’m actually trying to let a little of the housework slide in an effort to spend more time with the kids while they’re still little. it bugs ME that the house is a bit more messy than usual, but the kids are enjoying the extra time i’m spending. and that works for me atm!! 🙂
great pizza and babyboy photo too 🙂
You are super involved but hey, that’s why we love you, well that’s not the only reason but you do make everything sound exciting. I’m glad Nick enjoyed the pizza.
