Do you ever feel like your arms are so full that everytime you see something else you want to pick up you find yourself dropping something you already had, and pretty soon your life looks like a clown juggling to make the kids laugh as he drops, picks up, drops, picks up etc? I'm officially there. Sure I can start exercising, but then scripture reading slips. I can adopt a kitten, but then the yard work slips. I can read a novel, but then my writing projects slip. I can have a Halloween recital, but the dieting slips and I find the needle on the scale creeping up. I can monitor my fertility, but don't read to the kids enough. I can start couponing, but I just don't haved ambition to cook...you get the point. There seems to be a repetative cycle here. I'm constantly trying to do more and better, and constantly falling short and neglecting, so I pick the neglectful aspects of my personality back up just to find I've lost something else... Just like that clown at the circus.
What can you do about that? I guess just laugh - and apppreciate it for the circus act that it is.

I can definitely relate to this feeling.... I guess we all can! :) Yes, a sense of humor is a good thing to have! That and the knowledge that if we are doing all we can - it is enough.
Yea for sure..I always think of that scripture, mosiah 4:27 to not run faster than we have strength, put things in order, prioritize..not so easy though, but there are some things that just don't matter, I prolly interpret it the wrong way, but whatev:) haha!
Haha! I've always kind of thought I just don't have enough mind, time, or motivation to follow through on everything that I'd like to do. Maybe that's why I have such a short hobby attention span and a closet full of unfinished projects. Great post (I love the picture)!
Good post.
one husband, four girls, one boy, one BIG dog, a cat, a dozen and a half chickens,a frog, your dad just took our fish tank so no worries there, no ceiling, all furniture in the yellow room, no table, and Jon just brought home THREE parakeets!!! I joined the circus about 13 years ago. I am the main laughing act:)
