My life is overwhelming me

Well that sounds dramatic. Here's what I want...but I think it's a pipe dream with full time work, a 3 year old, and two dogs. I'm sure I could get JT on board but, really, niether one of us is great with follow up or upkeep. When I do have free time, I spend it poking around the internet, generally waisting time. I think I'm overwhelmed with the options. Ok, my wish list:
  • a fairly organized and neat home
  • a full understanding of our finances
  • the will to do something creative on a regular basis. I say will b/c I do have the time.
I'd also like to spend time playing with the munchkin in our house. I always seem to be totally distracted. We do spend a lot of time together but it's mostly outside the house (parks, pool, beach, zoo, etc.). I find that I can focus on her much better without being distracted.

That's really not a huge list but it is a challenging one. Not sure what to do from here but I'm sure I'll figure it out. I always do.

A recent conversation

The munchkin and I were headed out to breakfast. Our neighboor was outside working on his lawn, shirtless.

TM: Mommy, why is he naked
Me: Honey, he's not naked, he just has his shirt off. Boys can take their shirts off in public because they don't have boobies. (yes, I call them boobies...it's more fun)
TM: Daddy takes his shirt off and he has boobies.

Oh.My.Word! I managed to just giggle (instead of full out laugh) because TM is easily embarrased. I never told JT but my friends and I have had a really good laugh with that one.
