juggling act

Motherhood is definitely a juggling act.

But I have decided to actually learn to juggle. It is one of those listed on my long list of Things to Learn to do Before I Die.

Yes, I am starting one-handed with two hackey-sacks. And after two days of practice, I am actually getting it! Add the other hand and a third sack, however, and it will all go to heck in a handbasket. But it is FUN.

So MQE will come home from work, see the house a mess, laundry not done and wonder what the HECK I have been doing all day.

Then I will say, "But look at what I can do now!"

He will think, "What the he**?!"

Unfortunately, with my clutzy track record I have a feeling juggling knives or fire torches will never be a part of my act.

If I can get this far on a Before I Die goal in two days, imagine what else I could finish if I just put my mind to it?! I must have a little too much free time on my hands right now, wouldn't you agree?
