one of those days i need a clone...

oh i am tired. i am soooo tired. there is so much going on in life, and tonight i am exhausted. my pinkie toe is tired. the list goes something like this...

1. opening an art gallery in february and all that entails (planning, demolishing, re-building the space, invites, lists, planning opening events, and all the money that goes into it - like.... $1600 steel studs! i can't buy shoes for a year)
2. raising 3 kids and all that entails (stomach flu's, allergies, tantrums, rehearsal schedules, basketball games, homework, et al)
3. my own projects (creating proposals for exhibits for the folk arts museum and the asian art museum, and a slide/sound show for a possible june exhibit for the fil-am historical society conference in hawaii - thank you oj for working with me on this!
4. acupuncture (for little R) and chiropractors and reiki (for me).. this is the year i go holistic.. and though it's all great and good... having to go to appointments can be... tiring... but i keep an open mind...and the effects are phenomenal. (how else can i do all these things at once?)
5. attending and supporting friends' events
6. raising 3 kids and all that entails
7. exercise
8. keeping house
9. cooking meals
10. building houses (though it's R that actually works on builing, guess who has to pick up on everything else, but i don't complain, building houses is a good thing)
11. raising 3 kids and all that entails
12. following my dreams

it's a good life. exhilirating and nerve wracking and interesting and exciting and busy. but sometimes, just plain tiring. and today, i am tired. we are tired.

R's aunt once said to me, "remember, you CAN do it all, but you can't always do it all at the same time". whew!! good to know.
