Several days ago I emailed a friend with a question. She never answered me. I ran into her a couple of days later and asked how she was doing. She said she felt like she had too many balls in the air and they had all fallen down. I know how she feels. My balls have all dropped and I feel like I'm trying to navigate my way through them only to find myself slipping and sliding all over the place as I step on them and they roll out from under my feet!Balls in the air:

Sometimes I wish I were a pioneer and all I had to do was walk.
Except, I know...they really didn't have it easy.
OK then, I wish I were a character in a Jane Austen novel.
I'd be a gentleman's daughter with a rich dowry and a dashing husband.
That's really my favorite era...I love the dresses and fancy balls and beautiful houses.
Sometimes I wish I were a bird and could just soar above all my bouncing balls.
Sometimes I wish my kids would come home on time so I didn't have to stay up so late thinking of all the balls that are dropping.
Oh! Wish granted!
Goodnight!

Juggling is tough! I can't do more than three balls at a time. That goes for real-life stuff too. Although there, I can't seem to juggle more than one thing at a time!
Does typing a comment while nursing a baby count? :)
It is tough trying to keep all those balls in the air.
I guess I keep trying to remember there is a time and a season--right now my season is quite different.
I read Rebecca's comment about typing while nursing a baby and had to say "way to go Rebecca "
Whew! That's a LOT of balls in the air!
You're doing great things...hang in there! :)
You are doing great things. I'll be praying for you.
