I came over from planning with kids – great post! I am on the verge of starting to work (non parenting…) again in 2010 and struggle enough with juggling all my current balls and meeting everyone’s needs. When i have tried in the past to start something up for myself i always see my home or husband suffer. The only friends I have that juggle it all well are those that sacrifice sleep (getting by on average of 5hrs) which i canot do if I want to be semi-sane. Look forward to hearinghow you find more balance in it all.

I’m juggling too – and wish that I could survive on less sleep! I don’t want to let anything else go either.

if you do manage to figure out how to keep lots of balls in the air do be kind and share it with some of us other ball droppers would you? :)

I havent got any advice, but I will put away my tv remote and not poke you for awhile ;)
Your life sounds hectic, but take away a single one of those elements, and life wouldnt be the same would it? Hope it calms down a bit for you :)

I have long maintained that 24 hours are simply not enough for one day! lol

As for the juggling – I trained my children to chase after the balls when I drop them. Makes it more like a game and less like I’m stuffing up ;-)

If you can’t juggle all your balls… can you make them smaller?
I think you are too hard on yourself and what I think are self imposed restrictions… whose to say you have to post a photo today, just because it is Sunday? I say go with the flow and post whatever you want, when you want! Its your blog after all!
