Are Your Schedules Feeling Overwhelming Too?

In summary, Teresa is feeling overwhelmed by her schedules. She has no available weekend dates until June 2, and she emailed her husband to tell him, and he said he'd take tomorrow off so they could be together. She has a show at 11, 2 blocks from the track meet but doesn't think she wants to go to the show. Her daughter has dance once a week during the day, other than that she is pretty free.

Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed by their schedules?
I was trying to book a host for a weekend show, I have no available weekend dates until June 2. I emailed my husband & told him we are booked with kids activities until then, he said he'd take tomorrow off so we could be together.

having him home, or not having a free weekend?
 
That's awesome! I have no weekend dates availablie in March. Oh well!
 
Not having weekends available... I am wide open and have to fake with hosts like I am really busy!
 
I know the feeling of being busy, I just wish it was more with PC. I have a 10 yr old who swims for our city swim team and she has made state, so we are at meets almost each weekend, and practices every night except Mondays, and that is because she is a GS. Ugh...

My 2 1/2 yr old has started swimming on Mon, Wed, Fri mornings from 10-12:30.

I need a break from this and need to get back to work!! LOL :p

Sat will be interesting...
MS has an 8 AM track meet & powerlift meet (daddy will have to shuffle him between the 2 towns)
I have a show at 11, 2 blocks from the track meet but don't think I want to go to the show windblown.
DD has production rehearsal from 8 -11:30
& we have a football banquet at 6 they never finish before 10:30
 
Same here - my weekends are booked solid thru April. I had to give up a bridal shower yesterday because she needed a weekend before the wedding and I didn't have one availabel :(
 
My weekends are getting nicely booked with shows...March is full, have a couple in April already and just booked one for May.

BUT I wish I had more time to spend with my DH and family on the weekends! I want to do more weekday shows, but am having trouble making the shift. You can't stand there at a show on a Friday and I say I don't do Fridays, you know?

I want to have to give up a show because I don't have a date available! that sounds awesome. But I can see the frustrating part of it. I keep waiting for my kids to get older so we aren't just sitting at home twiddling our thumbs....I guess there's always something....:)

For me it has gotten to the point where I NEED to find some balance. I am working myself sick. I have basically been sick in one form or another for the last 2 months - I just don't give myself a chance to get well. If I am not doing shows, I am running my kids to their activities, entertaining family that's in visiting, etc.

I guess my kids are just too little for me to be busy yet. My DD has dance once a week during the day. Other than that I am pretty free, LOL!
