The “Motherload” of Mental Notes.

It is morning and I am hoping to sleep just 5 more minutes, but my 2 year old is now climbing on me before my eyes are even open. Next thing you know, my 1 yr old is up.. I open my eyes..”OMG, WHAT TIME IS IT?” I jump up in a hurry and throw on whatever is closest to the bed… my 9 yr old needs to be up and ready to catch the bus too. So many things to do, do I have enough time? I start making a mental list to keep track of the mental load for my family of 5. What day is it? Does my 2 yr old have school? (He goes to prek Mon, Wed,Fri.) Are their lunches packed? Is it band today, does my daughter need her instrument? Is it Monday? Is there Volleyball? Oh I need diapers. Hopefully I can shower today. I HAVE to do atleast 3 loads of laundry today to keep up. Crap.. didnt have time to major clean the bathrooms.. put that on the list.. What can I make for breakfast? What should I do for lunch? Do i need groceries? Diapers? Milk? What should I make for dinner? My kids all need baths, is homework complete? Did I do my OWN homework for school? Ugh did I get gas or will I be late ? What activities can I do with my kids today? Am I even doing enough? Omg there is so much in the mental load.. where to even begin or end? Half of this stuff I won’t remember until the same thing happens tomorrow when I open my eyes, the other half will get done, and I will also have some other random things I accomplish in the day HOPEFULLY! So I make my way(that sounds to leisurely, I’ll say rush haha!!) down stairs to begin the role of “Mom” today. And the day begins…
