How does 1 person do it all?

This week is a very trying and busy week for me. Chad is in California and I have to run the store while he is gone. I haven't done "real" 9-5 work in LONG time. And it's not that I don't like to work, because I really do. What is causing all the fuss is that I have to do the "real" work along with ALL my other work I usually do. So I ask the question: How does one person do it all?

I really don't know if I'm coming or going and it's only Monday night. I've been up since 5:30am and the list of things I've done today is WAY too long, but I still have more to get done tonight after the girls are "asleep." Which could be a battle itself as Campbell usually fights going to sleep and most nights has a bad dream or needs a diaper change or something to drink; which Chad is always good at doing during the middle of the night. Now it's all me. Also, Cooper wants to sleep in my bed while Chad is gone and I don't mind because there will be one day when she doesn't want to do that anymore and so right now I'm savoring that special moment between us.

Bottom line is, I just need a place to vent. A place to list all the crazy things I've done so far and all the things I still have to do. I need that unbiased but real opinion out there telling me I can do it.

So while you read, just think of me doing these fun tasks. Getting girls up, packing lunches, bus stop duty, opening the store, daily paperwork, stocking items, cleaning the MESSY store up (those guys are BOYS), taking & picking up from school, making dinner, laundry, dishes, feed the pets, listen to 2 redheads fight & argue about EVERY LITTLE THING possible, get taxes ready, price items for the consignment sale, putting girls to bed, and some how find a few minutes of quiet solitude for myself to take care of me. Yeah right - impossible!

Thanks for listening.
