Can life get any crazier?

I really thought that after I was done with the "Messiah", my life would get easier. I deluded myself into thinking that nothing would top the craziness that engulfed every minute of those months.

Well, I was wrong.

In a nutshell, I have a bajillion meetings every time I turn around, my kids need to be taken in every different direction possible, my house looks like a Don Ho concert exploded thanks to all the costumery for the Aloha Festival (which is next week by the way), and I accepted an invitation to play for the Stake Choir for conference in a few weeks.

Then I found out that one of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles is going to be there. And I have to play the organ instead of the piano. No pressure, right?

On top of all this I have over 20 piano students.

I'm exhausting myself just thinking about it. Actually, just thinking about Wednesday is giving me hives (Mutual, Girl's Camp Meeting, Hallie's first track meet--all at the same time).

Really, I'm not trying to complain. I love the diversity of my life. I just don't know how I let these things happen on top of each other. And I don't know how I'll accomplish it all. Does this happen to you, too? How come we don't simplify our lives?

I love all the things I'm involved in. How could I give any of it up?
