Out of Control

Do any of you ever feel like your life is spinning out of control? Every where I look there is a stack of stuff to put somewhere else, or something to clean, or something to paint. Every day there is a list of errends to be run, kids to feed and keep track of and homework to be done. And there are the bigger things that come up, like taxes, and painting, and new cars and getting ready for this or that. It just feels like I am running and don't seem to be finding the finish line.
Caleb had his scout blue and gold banquet tonight. It is almost May, and he still has so much to work on for scouts. I can barely keep him caught up on his homework, doing his chores, daily reading, school projects, practicing math and spelling, piano, playing with the dog, and finding time to be a kid, let alone scout projects that aren't getting done during scouts that I faithfully take him to on Wed. nights. I am told it only gets worse as the homework increases. If that is true, I am in trouble.
I swear my kids need more sleep. (at least the two younger ones) They are grouchy, and whiney, and not really very nice to each other sometimes, but do you think I can get them to even stay in bed at night, much less go to sleep at the designated time of 8 pm. It is a battle I am loosing.
Jason is sick again. Its a cold that seems to be going around. But I can never get myself to not worry when he gets sick.
I am so sick and freaking tired of hearing about the crappy economy. I have done what I can to be prepared, and we really are in a pretty good spot, so I am done with the news for a while.
After two very late nights, the apartment side of the basement is painted. (except the baseboards and moulding(sp)). I guess that is the real problem, I am tired. It is cold, or at least I have been cold all winter, and it is very grey outside. I need a sunny beach and some R and R.
I am sure tomorrow will be a better day.
I hope you all are feeling in control and well rested.
