How Many Balls Can One Juggle at Once?

Temporarily, it feels like I can juggle a million....and then I crash and burn. I'm having a crash and burn week!

The balls I'm currently juggling (or dropping on the floor!):
-my two college classes
-the two major projects that I have for each class
-the two tests that I have coming up in a week
-this feeling of impending sickness and general yuck that I've had for nearly a month (it's really starting to drain me)
-raising three boys
-dealing with E's medicine....since he's on a controlled substance for his behavior I have to get it filled once a month, but the prescription has to be hand written EACH time and is only valid for SEVEN days...so I have to coordinate a time to get to his dr during work hours (about 1/2 hour away from my work), get it to the pharmacy and get it filled within 7 days, but inevitably they are out so I have to make sure that I call a day or two in advance and make sure they have it in stock or order it. If I don't then the prescription expires and I have to start the whole process over again BEFORE E's medicine runs out. Luckily my mom helps me with this a bit.
-work....it's been really busy. And because of all the gas wells in the area my workload has more than doubled and it's only going to get worse. So far we only have 15 wells, but we are anticipating up to 90 in the next 3 - 4 years and I'm the only one that handles them!
- house, I've decided during all this craziness to have my house painted. Not one of my brightest decisions. I'm putting the project on hold for a couple of weeks to allow me time to gather my thoughts....and clean up my house.
- more house, with all this craziness you can imagine I don't exactly have time to thoroughly clean. My house isn't exactly dirty, it just has a bunch of crap all over the place. This is starting to stress EVERYONE out.
-Mark's wedding - I'm so excited about his wedding in 2 weeks, but trying to get all of the last minutes clothing items together and planning for a lot of family to come out (some I haven't seen in 10 years) is starting to stress me out.

And then this morning...I forgot to lock E's door so he woke up at his normal 3:30a.m. and since his door wasn't locked he came into my room and turned my tv on full blast and started jumping on my bed. Since I was a little tired getting ready this morning I forgot to check the rooms I was walking into. E has a tendancy to open the blinds in the morning....so if there were any neighbors out walking around they got a good look at my newest Victoria Secret purchase! :) I'm trying to figure out a way to apologize, I'm sure it wasn't a pretty picture.

So now rather than juggling all my billions of balls up in the air, I'm sitting on the floor with them scattered about me...it reminds me of the ball pits at Chuck E' Cheeses!

Kristi, don't play in ball pits.

I once talked to a guy who worked for the company that cleans those ball pits for fast-food restaurants.

Once again, I say, don't play in the ball pits.
