Balls.

You know, with that title this post could go two completely different ways.  It could either talk about having balls (which, admittedly, would be a far more interesting post) or it could talk about the fact that I've got so many things going right now that I don't know which way to look. 

(Ok, well, I suppose there is always that third option where I write about the bouncy kind that my kids play with, but I don't know that I could get a whole post out of those.... Maybe I'll try someday.)

Got enough balls?

Maybe I'll write the post about having balls tomorrow.  But today, I want to talk about the juggling act that is my life.

Now that I've launched my new business, I'm overwhelmed.  Between promoting the new business, running the old business (my law practice), doing this blog, being a single parent with three kids under the age of 8, keeping up with my house (Hey, someone's got to do the laundry, dishes, cleaning toilets, etc.), starting packing to move in 6 weeks and everything else, I'm completely underwater.

The advantage of having faced adversity before is that I know I will get through all of this.  I know I'm strong enough and smart enough, but looking at the big picture of what has to get done (like my Google calendar) sets me into a tailspin.

So, back to basics.  Deep breath.

One thing at a time.  Make a list.  Go down the list and start checking things off.  Baby steps. 

And try not to drop any of the balls while I'm doing it.  And if I drop one, try to remember it's not a tragedy and just pick it up and keep going.

Because tomorrow's another day. 

Just Keep Coming Back
