Pieces

I don't know how I managed to speed up a life that was already on fast-forward. But I did. Somewhere along the way, the pieces of my days got launched into a tornado. They swirl around in circles. So I focus on the most important bits, like my children eating, and urgent deadlines. The other pieces fall into random places and corners. And they wait. And I can hear them waiting. Because things, and people who are waiting for you, even if they're silent, are really loud. And the longer they wait, the louder they get. And it's not their fault that they're waiting. But some days, when Jason says, "It's okay if you don't want to do this anymore", I believe him. Then I know that it really wouldn't be okay, because I chose these pieces. I love them, and want them all. I just can't find the pause button. IS there one? If not, I would settle for figuring out a way for the pieces to stop hitting me in the face. I look at her, and her, and her and it makes me think that it's possible to do lots of things at once...and even do them gracefully. I guess all I can say is that I'm working really hard at it.
I'll be back tomorrow with more Valentine's photos, as well as the story behind this cute rose-petal-throwing family! I'll give you a hint, they are San Antonio's Baby/Mommy Wellness Power Couple. Like the Brad and Angelina of Healthiness. :)
And, I also posted here today. Please come over and say hello.
