U is for Ubiquitous.

As defined by Dictionary.com:
u·biq·ui·tous   /yuˈbɪkwɪtəs/ Show Spelled[yoo-bik-wi-tuhs]
–adjective
existing or being everywhere, esp. at the same time; omnipresent:

Yep...that's how I feel right now.

*My stuff is EVERYWHERE, all over the house.

*My emotions are still all over the place. (I'm gonna blame some pre-menopausal moments for that tho, maybe, or the fact that I'm having to balance how to be a wife AND a mother of older kids at the same time...finding the balance. --my children were toddlers when I divorced, I've raised them singally most of their lives--)

*My mind is definitely everywhere at the same time..I can't walk into one room to do something without getting distracted by something else that needs to be done or have my attention at that moment.

There is so much that needs to be done, that I want to do, and yet life keeps getting in the way. I want to finish one task before moving on to another, but that is not happening right now. For example: I can't finish the boys' room until I can get a piece of furniture out of the storage garage and bring it in. But it's too big to do myself or with just my 12 yr old (my hubby is not allowed to lift anything over 30 lbs due to health issues), so I have to wait til my 16 yr old gets here Friday. I cannot get the living room done until I get somethings out of there and into their proper place, but I can't put them into their proper place until something else happens....and on and on...
and in the midst of all this is dr. visits/rechecks for hubby, and work things to help with, and next week starts my school inservice workshops...

There are piles of things scattered all over the house and it's driving me crazy. They are everywhere. They are omnipresent..always there!

Hubby says, "Honey, we have the rest of our lives to get this house in order, don't stress over it," but I don't work that way! I want it done, and I want it done now, and I want all the stuff I need to get it done now NOW.

It's just frustrating, cuz I always want to do fun things with my kids when they are here b/c they have camps and weeks with thier dad and stuff like that along with my inservice and conferences and such.

I just want to twitch my nose and everything be completed!
Such is not the case, however. So, I plod along, and the ubiquitous piles of things in my home dwindle down, slowly but surely...and one day, hopefully before I'm old and gray, I'll be able to sit down and enjoy a put-together home!
