My brain races back and forth between thoughts filled with cartwheels, back hand springs and shouting to the world what a beautiful day it is and a stressed out, worrying, grudge-holder with never ending to do lists.

If plans change around me, watch out.

Batten down the hatches. I may absolutely explode.

If you tell me that we will be eating lunch at home and you change your mind to take me out to a fabulous Mexican dinner, be prepared that my reaction may actually resemble disappointment, because in the past hour, I have planned out how I will start the grilled cheese, run upstairs to thrown the laundry into the dryer, flip the grilled cheese, empty the dishwasher and yell to the kids to make their own drink.

Your sweet efforts may be lost in a new catastrophe of undone laundry and a concern over the pile of dishes in the sink.

All the while, I will point out the beautiful sky and how funny the kids are.

I will keep you on your toes while my brain goes into overload on what to do with this new information about my day.

So my 2012 Word of the Year will be Calm

What is your word?! Link up below and let us all know!
