muses of the moment

I'm sitting at the computer in the few minutes I have left alone until the baby wakes up and the older kids barge through the door after a long week at school ready to rule the weekend. I feel overwhelmed with such a mix of things....exhaustion from lack of sleep, heart heavy from lots of sad news about things going on with people around me, bursting with gratitude for my blessings, excitement for the pool being built in my backyard, frustration for the inability to accomplish everything I want to, insecure about the parts of my personality I'm not sure people understand, and very happy I get to go out with Joe tonight.
