The Big Surprise
Bitching|I am currently dropping the ball in my life.
The following is a list of things currently wrong at DRY Ink headquarters, (divided into categories for your viewing pleasure):
Missing:
2 library books
a 1st grade reader
1 ballet leg warmer
1 camouflaged belt
1 orange little league bat
Behind on:
uploading files for work
2 loads of dishes
5 loads of laundry
vacuuming, (the dust bunnies, they are everywhere)
mopping, (fun games at DRY Ink, you can stick to my floor!)
2 cherubs’ bedrooms that you can barely walk in
added bonus: time sheet due today!
Unfinished projects (not to be confused with “behind on”, because those are reoccurring things):
a master bathroom shower with exposed studs and a husband sharing the cherub’s bath
squirrel chewed holes in the highest eaves of my house, allowing those creatures to currently use my attic as a brothel
(if you listen closely you can hear ‘let’s get it on’ wafting out of the hole)
an unfinished mud room addition
(Do you see a mudroom here? Yeah, me neither)
the status of the kitchen oven undecided and therefore, untiled
crown molding incomplete on the new kitchen cabinets
hardwood flooring waiting for to be installed in Jacob’s old bedroom
(no picture here, it’s to embarrassing)
Personal:
whine
currently attempting to lose 5 pounds unsuccessfully for about the last year, have redoubled efforts in the last 3 weeks with same success rate
my back hurts, I carry all my stress in my shoulders
my face is broken out, the dermatologist is unable to tell why or improve the situation, after 3 months and 4 visits
a continuous feeling of dread and inability to keep up with ANYTHING, including volunteer and financial stuff that needs to be handled at the cherub’s school
/whine
I’m sure that there is stuff I have left out, because, well, that’s just what I do lately.
Is there anything I can half ass for you? I’ll be available all week.

Honey, give yourself a freaking break. You keep all your own balls in the air, plus everyone else’s. You’re bound to drop one from time to time. Contrary to popular belief, you’re only human. It’s OKAY!!!

P.S. No dirty jokes about balls in the air allowed.

I feel your pain, Eirka, it’s the same story around here.
Jeez Rachel, you take all the fun out of life! *wink*
…balls in the air…hehehe

As long as you’re not ‘dropping balls’ as in growing some I think you’re okay. While we’re on the subject of dropping- where do YOU need to drop 5 lbs? I mean really! I do not look like you do and I’ve only had 1 kid! As for losing stuff around the house, I am convinced that every house has a black hole- either that or little people who come out at night and steal stuff but that’s creepy. Either way, like Rachel said- you’re only human (except for that decorating-goddess blood that is running through your veins) so take it easy on yourself. Love the mudroom by the way. I can tell that it makes excellent mud.

I do the stress in the shoulders thing too. It’s a bitch. Also the unexplainable breakouts. Grr.
