Definitely needed to read this today. It's a good reminder that I can't always keep all the plates spinning and sometimes I have to make a conscious decision about which one I can let crash...because if I don't, then they all crash in the fruitless effort. Appreciate you and this email!
So glad you appreciated it, Emily! I always feel bad when I let something drop, but oddly I feel slightly more competent in my abilities as an adult human if I can plan for a sacrificial plate. 😂
Mary Joan! This one was perfectly timed as I just squeezed in a thorough sweep of the upstairs and the stairs, right after my 10 mos old grandson left. As those plates spun, I wrote a note to my stepson in Portland, while allowing soup to simmer for our granddaughter who is with us this afternoon. Across the room is the book I intended to start today, calling, "So I'm the plate you let drop today? Better get me spinning tomorrow!" - Thanks for your brilliant entry!
This post speaks to me! Humbling but helpful to remember the plates won’t stop.
They really won't!
I'm glad this note felt right on point.

Thank you, Sheila! I’m so glad this one connected with you, at this exact moment :)
All so true. Puppies and babies sick? Big Plates! Shall we say, “Platters?”
You're very right...definitely platters!
