Life Gets in the Way

I have a sinus infection. Both my boys have colds (which we initially thought were allergies so they are just not themselves which makes this mom feel so bad I was treating them for one thing and turns out they have another.)

Friday I received a phone call saying my dad was in the hospital (2+ hours away) with pneumonia and another infection (and still is) and I’m planning a trip out there to figure out what is going on – haven’t been able to because I’ve been sick, so I’m very worried.

There are lots of church nursery safety ideas floating around in my mind that I can’t seem to get on paper in an organized way and I have a meeting later this week to present them. 

My house is a mess due to being so wiped out with this sinus infection which just makes me feel like the walls are closing in.

…the list goes on. 

To say I have had other things on my mind is an understatement. I’d much rather be on that silent, peaceful boardwalk through the forest right now. I’m sure all of this is true for so many of you as moms, too! Anyway, I’m not seeking your pity, maybe your prayers…and I just bopped on here to say I’ll be taking a few personal days to get things in order. 

In the meantime, I’d love to hear how you moms out there keep your sanity when “Live gets in the way.” Are you a list maker? Do you have a support network that rushes in to help keep you afloat? Please share!
