A Balance Challenge

I've realized a specific aspect of trying to maintain balance that is specifically challenging to me. It bothers me so much when various errands mount up and there is no time to work all day, pick up Jeremiah on time, and get errands accomplished. Granted, I could run errands all weekend, but then I feel like I lose balance of time for enjoyable things (and school work) that need to happen during the weekend.

Balance is a challenge for many working moms but my newest frustration regarding finding time for things like picking up diapers, dry cleaning drop off/pick up, picking up new medical supplies for Jeremiah, and more is something I'm not getting my head wrapped around. I would normally develop a plan of attack but this is just upsetting me more because I don't seem to be able to catch up with it or develop tactics to handle it.

Perhaps days off will be the only answer.

Any bright ideas out there?
