Life is better when it is full of activity and adventure, but how much can one person do? That is the question I am pondering these days.

Here is my current recipe for life:

Mix together summer school, daily swimming lessons, softball, baseball and girl scouts. Add in homeschooling, playgroup and storytime. Throw in a dash of doctor, chiropractor and dentist appointments. Stir that all together with working 20-30 hours a week and a spouse who is working 60-70 hours a week. Don't forget to sprinkle with housework, cooking, gardening, laundry and general errands. Bake on high for as long as it takes to nurse the baby through his growth spurt. Eat with gusto if you can find a spare moment.

Is it any wonder I am feeling like an overstretched rubber band?
