Last week at work, I was in a meeting where we asked teachers to think about the different roles people have at a circus and asked them to select one they identified with most. As I looked around the room I found I could relate to most of the circus jobs we had displayed....a lion tamer, juggler, ticket taker, ringmaster and high wire act. The thing is.... at some point John and I both live each of these roles at home. While thinking about juggling the demands of life with work, kids, marriage and time for myself, I recognize it's hard to balance it all. I had a bit of an aha moment this past week.....Life is a total circus and it doesn't slow down so I might as well embrace all of these acts and enjoy the show. The best act is the one I come home to each night. What fun our little clowns have been having the past few weeks.

Yes, that's a bow in Jack's hair. He insisted.
Someday, he'll regret it and be mad at me for sharing it with the world |
