I just don’t have enough time in a day for everything I want to be able to do.  If there were just a few more hours, maybe 10, that would be great.

I end up in a cycle: I push myself, then get exhausted and fall behind, then push myself harder to catch up.  I have been trying to simplify and just do those things I know are most important to me, but one of the problems I have is that everything seems important.

Maybe I just don’t know how to prioritize.  I think I do, but if I can’t manage all my projects (which there really aren’t that many of), then maybe I don’t.  It wouldn’t be the first time I thought I understood the meaning of a word and found out everyone else had a different understanding of it …

My bff and fwb both tell me I am trying to do too much.  Even my neighbor laments the plight of the American Mom: we’re expected to raise children, manage homes, work, and still find time for relationships and self-enrichment.  And just wanting to be able to do it all isn’t enough.  So I have learned.
