I'm having a hard time reconciling today's date with what it should be in my head, anyway. Somehow the month of May has totally disappeared in a blur, and it has, for the most part, been spent remarkably unproductively.

I don't know why that bothers me, but it does. I want to be able to account for my time more effectively than I am able to. More often than not I get the sense that I'm spending most of my time treading water, basically managing from crisis to crisis without really being able to focus on long-term goals and objectives.

Part of it is just the overwhelming responsibility of having three kids. Part of it is having a very involved job. And part of it, I admit, is being less well-organized than I'd really like to be. Whatever the reasons or excuses, it's still incredibly frustrating.
