too many stokes, too many fires, too many everything

ah! today is a day where i feel like i/we have too many stokes in the fire, too many fires to put out, and too many. . .everything. so, instead of dealing with it, i'm blogging. how do people with more than one child do anything? i know how people with no children get it done. i used to be one of those people and i was highly productive. how do people get it all done, sleep, eat, and clean their house?
today i am trying to do the following:

1. be a good mother

2. paint the trim in my kitchen white

3. clean the house so we can have guests this weekend

4. get crafts together for craft night

5. work on expanding the produce part of our farming operation

6. spray paint chairs

7. try not to lose my mind.

instead, i think that i will cut myself a break, drink more coffee, and get what i can done. at least, i have my dinner planned.
