I don't beat myself up as much if I drop a ball. The first one to go at the moment is writing, but only while I'm studying.

Usually, it's housework that suffers, which I guess is the least important! Writing did suffer a bit for me during this challenge, but I'm still pretty happy with how it turned out.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.rinellegrey.com" rel="nofollow">Rinelle Grey</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651744055513494283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-68983646014261363952013-05-03T09:36:07.350-04:002013-05-03T09:36:07.350-04:00That's amazing you got so much done while A-to...That's amazing you got so much done while A-to-Z-ing!

I know a thing or two about juggling. I no longer have the job to take up my time, but that means a lot less income. I probably should go do some real juggling on the street with an upturned hat in front of me to collect money. I admire people like you who are doing a real life juggling act.<br /><br />Lee <br />An A to Z Co-Host <br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-23508252652075017112013-05-02T23:31:59.608-04:002013-05-02T23:31:59.608-04:00Wow, you're like my hero for the month of Apri...Wow, you're like my hero for the month of April.

When I don't take the time to feed my heart, I wilt and am no good to others (I'm grouchy!). So honestly, I try hard to not juggle more than I can handle. Sometimes it can't be avoided, however. I make sure, in those times, that I am nurturing myself as well.
