crammin'

When people have been asking me of late how I'm doing, I've replied with "juggling everything" but I realise that's not quite right. Juggling implies some element of entertainment, fun maybe, even if it requires a lot of concentration/skill/practice on the part of the juggler. The picture it conjours for me involves a painted clown face complete with red nose.
Actually how I feel really is more like someone trying to cram things in - last night I had a small window of time when I wasn't wanted by either offspring so I took a look at today's long list and started work on bits that could be done last night - in order to get ahead of myself today. That's not really how I want to be living.
Since thinking of the more apt expression "cramming", I now can't get the song "jammin" out of my head, and that's MUCH more like how I'd like to be living!! Hanging out with my besties, creating harmonies together, still concentrating but with smiles on our faces and music in our hearts.
For now tho, back to the list...
... Stressy day, perhaps not surprisingly as it has sorting out the remortgage as one of the tasks.  It looks like I found an option, tho it is dependent on me sourcing paperwork that I don't yet have access to. I'm hoping to do some jamming with at least of my children later. Meanwhile I've treated myself with a lemon sponge and custard.
