Scattered
I'm writing this in an attempt to pull together my scattered thoughts. I'm trying to work on a paper, but I'm thinking of the 18 other things I need to do while Archer is managing George. My thoughts are scattered as I'm, mentally, somewhere between maternity leave and work. I want to be working. I want to write and compose course descriptions. I want to put together a research grant so I can do some archival work this summer. But I want to hang out with George, pick Wild Man up from the bus stop, and paint with Bear. I want to make scones and stew, but I want to read and take notes too. I want to stop thinking about home and try to focus on this task, but since I'm sitting in my home office, surrounded by crayon drawings, baby toys, and toy cars, I'm finding that a bit difficult.

I know what you mean, even though it's been several years since I've had a baby and younger boys. This post is very fitting with your blog's name, the different "pieces" of you that you're trying to conciliate. Both lives are beautiful and important and I'm sure that you'll be able to find a good balance at some point.
