As I sit here, I'm scarfing down my lunch because It's 1:42 pm and I have just now gotten around to it. Lately my lunches have consisted of anything left on the kids plates or something that I can microwave as I don't want to take the time to make something for me. That time is precious (even as I type this I'm thinking... "crap I should have put some laundry in before I sat down") To peek into my brain and thoughts is to see not one but maybe 3-4 ticker tapes (like the bottom of CNN's tv show) going at one time. I'm 
constantly thinking about what I could/should be doing.
My friend Dona came over with her kids today and I half mentioned it to her. She responded that the best thing I can do is take care of the kids. She couldn't have been more correct. Yet now, I'm childless (they are both sleeping) and my scarfed lunch is in my belly, all admit not very settled, and here I sit. I am mentally scolding myself for taking the time to type this when I know full well that the house looks like a bomb hit it and I would be SO much happier if I just cleaned it up during the very little precious time I have with both kids down. I could also shower as I'm 2 days behind on that. I also could cut the grass as that was needed 2 days ago as well. I could change around Jack's toys because he needs a refresher in that.
There are a million things I can think of that I could/should be doing. Right now I feel 50% better just stating them here.... true to form though... I'm going to check out a few more sites on here and then get going. I want to be thinking and focusing on the kids and my family tonight and then have some time with Joe before bed, not cleaning then.
I just need 3 more hours in the day. 2 to clean/maintain the house and 1 to relax and make myself look like a woman. :)
I'd forgo those 3 hours if I could spend them with my 3 favorite boys and just laugh and make memories.
