I don't know how she does it....

This has come up a lot recently. I think it is because both the movie is coming out (based on the book by Allison Pearson) and because school has started up again. But last week when I got to Soccer with H, I joined 2 of the other parents who were already in mid-conversation. They asked me if my ears were burning, because they were talking earlier saying that they don't know how I do everything. I was all like - WHAT??? I don't do everything.

In their mind, I have this active and busy life. I do like to be involved. I always have been. Even back in high school when you could be a part of clubs, I think between sports and clubs, I participated in 5 after school activities. And things have not changed. I just love being busy and I do my best to fit it in while balancing spending time with my family and friends.

I can tell you what I sacrifice to be able to do all the things I enjoy doing...Housework and yard work. I really do very little of both. Or really anything that I want done around the house doesn't get done. Which is funny, because I want to make my house way nicer...but I don't want to put in the time to do it because it keeps me from doing the other things I like doing.

And somehow I find the time for TV. Now those of you who know me IRL (in real life) know I am a TV junkie. It is really my way of winding down. So on top of all my volunteering and sewing and kids activities and spending time with my hubby...I have to fit in my TV time.

I do like my schedule, but I do wish I would do more around the house, and I that I didn't feel so guilty.

How do you do it all?
