Dear World, I'm Sorry.

I feel like the only things I have time to say these days are apologies.

To my boss, I'm sorry I can't fit more than 8 hours of work in my 8 hour day.  I'm trying, really I am.

To my husband, I'm sorry I have been coming home later than normal.

To my kids, I'm sorry my fuse has been shorter than normal.

To my friends, I'm sorry for e-mails returned much to late, or quite frankly, e-mails I've never gotten around to returning at all.

To Gramma, and BlogHer, sorry about the lack of posts.

To my sister, I'm sorry about that quilt I still have to finish.

To my teammates, I'm sorry you feel out of the loop with our fundraiser, I kind of do too.

To my mother, I'm sorry I never visited your grave the last time I was in town.

To myself, I'm sorry about the skipped lunches and the new reliance on morning caffeine, a habit you were once so pleased to have kicked. 

To anyone else who thinks they deserve an apology, I'm sorry I didn't say I'm sorry to you.

Oh hun, you never have to apologize. You are juggling so many things right, I am proud of all you are doing and will do in the coming months. Give yourself a break...you deserve even a small one.

Ug, I think we all feel your pain. For one minute today, sit down, close your eyes, take in a deep breath, and let it out with a long sigh. For one minute, find peace. The rest of your day can be crazy, but for just one minute, find peace.

I hope some balance comes your way soon.

No sorries needed babe! You rock the house and we love you....it just shows you are a human (much prettier, and nicer) martha stewart clone! We all get busy, if you weren't we might worry that you aren't living.

Let your mantra become "This, too, shall pass." It works for me!

Hang in there and know you're loved and I'll help if I can.

My dear, a baby can use a quilt for a looong time. :)
