It's a Juggling Act

We're moving forward with purchasing a house - one with a yard, a fence, and a basement.  Although I've been through this process before, I've forgotten how much coordination it takes.  There are loan papers and personal information to send out to the mortgage company; there are appraisers to talk to; moving to coordinate; and so on.  In the meantime, I'm working on a project where lately I've felt like I've been drowning.  Okay, maybe drowning isn't a good word - it's more like spinning my wheels.  But, at the end of the day I've found that I don't think about work.

That's right - by the time I leave the parking lot I've focused on other things.  I think it's because I have a lot to do outside of work, but I'm hoping that it means that I compartmentalize my life better.  There are a lot of career things that I'm concerned about but that stuff has been prioritized after the kids, buying a house, and current work stuff.

I wonder if it's all going to come crashing down.  I mean the things you don't plan for but know you should, usually come back to bite you in the ass.  At least, they do for me.  But right now I don't have time to address the career stuff with all that's going on.  Somehow it all works out and I am finding that to worry is counter-productive and a waste of energy.

i just embrace the bite marks. character building and blah blah blah... no, really, i do. :)

it's all pretty and fine and good when the balls are effortlessly flying in the air, but, the balls don't break when they hit the ground. i think we forget that sometimes...
