too many (or too few) balls in the air

i've been remiss on posting frequency lately. i've been juggling alot, and frankly, i suck at juggling. project deadlines are looming. quality coordinator responsibilities are increasing. it's high time we "get around to it" with a number of projects around the house since we're going to put it on the market. we need to solidify plans for el Jefe's move North. and i have appointments with one doctor or another atleast three times a month. and we have a wonderful toddler who is hinting at signs of readiness for potty training, and needs to graduate to a big boy bed.

i'm perfectly willing to let Punkin set the schedule for potty training. i'm encouraged that he shows signs of readiness, but as much as i only want one kid in diapers at a time, i believe i can deal with two if need be. so what if one screams for a couple minutes while the other is getting changed? i'll be sleep deprived and insane anyway. at least i'll be able to have a beer every now and then.

the big boy bed ... well, that's mostly me, and it's all about convenience and being cheap/frugal. we only have one crib, and it was a hand-me-down from the Middle (with twins) (i think they survived with only one crib?!?). we currently have a double bed in the garage; we bought it used and it was in el Jefe's daughter's (my stepdaughter's, bonus child's, whatever) room that became Punkin's bedroom. we have another queen-size bed, which resides in Grandma's room, or the designated guest room. we also have a futon in the loft/office which has been slept on plenty of times.

el Jefe' needs to furnish an apartment for himself, with Punkin and i as an occasional visitor (eventually, i'm not going to be able to travel, and at this rate we'll be lucky to get one trip up North in March). Grandma's bed is going up North as el Jefe's bed. the futon is going up North as Punkin's big boy bed away from home. the crib and changing table are going into Grandma's room. and Punkin is going to graduate to a double bed on or before February 26th. we shuffle furniture, let the movers take care of some clutter removal, and don't spend any additional money (except for bed rails and a pee-proof double mattress pad ... i hope they make such a thing).

it appears i can juggle tangible objects, but i am struggling with juggling events? trust me, i have a planner and an Outlook calendar ... it's just the stress that's getting to me.
