OK, so our “summer reading” assignment for work was to read a book called CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap! Strategies for Coping in a World Gone ADD.  Can you see where I’m going with this?  I’ll give you a clue – I haven’t had the time to read the book yet!  So – you know your life is crazy/busy when:

1. You get up, shower, race to work, work like a maniac all day, race home, shower, race out to a work function, come home, and spend more than 2 minutes sitting.  I “worked” at the work function – I think it should count as hours, don’t you?  I didn’t truly have more than 15 minutes of sitting, eating, enjoying, and talking – the rest of the time was on my feet, greeting, schmoozing, and saying “click it” and “yes, it’s cool” to the millions (or so it seemed) of teachers who couldn’t figure out the Clickie Sharpie.

2. Your mother tells you she only knows what’s going on in your life because she reads your blog, because you never call her!

3. Said mother wants to finalize details for the Sea Socks Cruise and you tell her that when your life calms down in a week (or 2), you’ll have time to think about it.  When truly, all you want to do is think about a vacation, though preferably one that comes before next April!

4. You are too tired to knit, and too tired to read, and just want sleep.

5. You can’t remember the last meal you ate that took more than 5 minutes.

6. You turn over 1000 miles on a brand new car in 23 days.  This may be a new record for me (I usually average well under 1000 per month!), as I live 8 miles from work, and about 1 mile from everything else.  There would have been more, but Mark loves/prefers to drive his car, so any time he was with me, we were in the MINI!

7. You seriously contemplate canceling Knit Night, but you know the time away will do you good, even though really you’re never home anymore!

8. You look forward to the actual start of school, because it means that life will actually calm down – you and your kids will actually go to the same place at the same time every day!

9. You’re counting the days until Labor Day weekend!

10. You can remember names, faces, and random weird facts about (virtual) strangers you work with, but you continually mix up the names of the children in your house.  OK, well, you try living with Hayley and Holly and see how well you do!

11. You tell – oh, I don’t know.  I had something in mind, and I just forgot all about it.  Guess that means I’m tired.  Good night!
