There's so much to do.
I'm going through the motions.
I go to work. I try to do as much as I can, but there is so much to do that sometimes I cannot get anything done. How do you prioritize a hundred things? It takes me weeks to complete things that I want to get done.
I'm at home. There is so much to do. I'd like to complete the things that are still on my Moving-In list after almost 5 years. How do I get those things done when I can barely keep the floors swept and do the laundry and pay the bills?
I visit friends. I love my kids, but when I take my kids along, I have nothing to say. I am so busy looking after them, how do I portray my usual witty self?
Where is the joy? Where is my joie de vivre? Where did it go?

Oh Mary, I SO relate to this. You need a spa day. I think we need to plan one. I remember you on that day when we went to the spa and the serene look on your face. Forget catching up - it's never going to happen. You're a working mom - and a damn good one! I think we need to give up on catching up, don't we? But keeping your head above water, now that is a feat in itself. If you ever want to talk, call me. You are allowed to be human, even if you are a mom. Or maybe especially because you are.
Uh, yeah. Those thoughts are completely inappropriate!! What's wrong with you?
Stop thinking about joy. Did you find that TV Guide yet?
Hey, when all else has been left behind, you at least still have your humor.
:o)
