I love this outtake photo of Caitlin balancing on the railroad tracks after her birthday photo shoot. Unfortunately these days I feel more like I have been run over by the train rather than trying to balance on the tracks.
It seems there is a recurrent theme with my family, friends, and co-workers these days… we’re busy, really busy, too busy. As much as I like the stage of life we’re in, I cannot believe how quickly our calendar fills up and how much running around we do.
In the past couple of weeks, I have been overwhelmed with meetings, appointments, deadlines, activities, errands, social gatherings, etc.… It’s not that I don’t enjoy most of these things, it’s just that there is so little down time.
I really can’t complain too much because I’m grateful for the opportunities we have, but I’ve got to figure out how to simplify and keep some empty spaces open on our calendar.

sorry, wish i could tell you things will change. i am still waiting and i am about 10 years ahead of you. what i am afraid of is that one day everything will stop and that will be worse. so i guess it is one of those "enjoy the journey" things!
distat--a little of everything
I wish I had some wonderful secret to share with you. Just keep juggling. You are doing better than you think.
Please get that girl off the railroad track!!! She is a beautiful girl for sure! When you look back you'll remember this time of your life with fondness and wish you could do it again.
Mom, they are rusty railroad tracks. No trains have been down them for a long, long time.
