As an office manager, I am in great demand to answer questions, give information, find missing office supplies, secure more comfortable desk chairs, crawl under a dusty desk to plug in a mystery piece of magical technology or fix something. 

As a mom, I am in great demand to answer questions, give money, find a missing shoe, secure school supplies, crawl under a dust-bunny infested bed to retrieve said missing shoe, miraculouly fix a bike or pull lost homework out of thin air.  And I wonder why I’m so tired at the end of the day!

A co-worker recently said I was needed because I am “the glue that holds everything together.”  I wonder…what would happen if I come unglued? Who then would answer my questions, give me information, find my missing keys, crawl into some dark place to find or fix something for me? Then I realize, I would…eventually. I would get myself back together with all the Super Glue I can muster and get back on the horse. No matter how wild, unmanageable, unpredictable or chaotic the horse, I would do it all again as I’ve done so many times. 

A good friend of mine gave me a card that says, “Life is divine chaos.”  I wouldn’t have it any other way.
