Overwhelming

Why is it that some days more than others feel particularly overwhelming? Sometimes it feels like it doesn't matter how hard I run or what I get done, it will never be enough to stay on top of things.  Even though things work in our house, they don't work smoothly.  Maybe that's just life with kids?  Or maybe that's just life.  Thinking ahead and organizing a house with kids is a full time job, I suppose, along with other full time jobs.  And it's not like I do it all myself - but sometimes it just feels like it's too much, and something needs to go.  Maybe it's time to throw some crap out and pare down...simplification sounds really good this morning.
