day 5 blog 7 too many balls in the air

i love this delighted mischievous grin on story's face after he and his sister threw 100 plastic balls all over the front room...who buys these sorts of toys for children? people without children of their own...or maybe someone who saw how happy it makes children to make just this sort of mess...i need to focus on the positives...anyway, i thought this was an appropriate visual metaphor for something i am constantly struggling with...juggling too many "balls" in the air...i could give you the specifics today but i don't have time...ha! really, my in-laws are on the way with the 4 and 6.5-year-old cousins so i may not blog until tomorrow night...

one other idea i wanted to share...i got out these balls yesterday so sea and story would be occupied while i tried to complete some project...i was thinking how i often create larger messes for myself in the process of trying to clean up a smaller mess? there must be a better balance out there somewhere...how do you keep your children happy without too much mess and still have time to get projects done? life as a stay-at-home mom i guess...

well, enjoy the photo of my mess and hopefully you don't have too many messes of your own...
