Superhero or Auto Pilot

One state history fair, two Mother's Day Mingles, three days of work to catch up on, four guests to invite, five minutes late, six hours before I can get to bed, a seven year old's birthday party to prepare and where has my week gone?
Life is certainly stuck on fast forward and today, I realized I am not a superhero...I am totally on auto pilot. I have made all my events, pulled off more than some thought I could and have started yet another battle against the paper clutter that lives here in this room. I have coasted through this week with very little thought on what I've been doing. I care deeply about the things I am involved in and of course, my son's birthday is huge but I've caught myself just winging it this week.
To some I may come off as a Superhero-I show up to practices, rehearsals, make sure HW is ready, and somehow manage my insanely high speed life. But this is all well and good if you are watching from a distance, up close you'd see that I am frazzled and scattered. This morning, I was terribly sad when Shane asked for me to send in something to share his birthday with his class. I really had not thought of it with everything else going on this week. And as much as I wish that I could bring something into share, this week is just too hectic for me to pull that off. Solution: an email to the teacher asking if we can share on Mon.
I am checking off major events by the week and we are booked through mid-June. It's unbelievable to me at the rate time is flying by me. I have to remember to slow down and count my blessings. God is here beside me everyday if I just remember to stop, think and keep faith.
