Does life ever get you down?

Sometimes I just feel like life is out to get me and I have more on my plate than I can handle. Now....I could handle it if I went full steam ahead and never took a break but that would probably end up with me needing to be medicated :) So today I feel overwhelmed.
This whole week I am responsible for getting my partner to and from work (or at least to the bus) because her usual ride is on vacation.

I have a 1.5 year old who is showing signs of another illness and not sleeping well so I want to bring him back to the doctor. I am so afraid they are going to say nothing is wrong with him, again. He must have allergies b/c he has been nothing but sick all summer and I just can't take it anymore. I am going to push for either allergy testing or at least the dosage for Zyrtec or Claritin so I can see if he gets better on it. There's nothing I hate more than bringing a child to the doctor because they are sick and the doctor looking at you and saying "it's just a virus, there's nothing we can do."

I have a sore/lump in my mouth that I know I should get looked at but am putting off. I keep hoping that it's something silly like a canker sore or something and will go away on it's own. I don't even know where to start, doctor and dentist?

The cat needs to go to the vet so we can find out why she has this mysterious bald spot on her back. She hasn't been to the vet in a few years ( I know, I know, bad pet mommy). She's an indoor kitty and is never exposed to anything so we don't stress about it too much. So I am sure that I will have to get her caught up on everything when we do go to the vet and that means $$$.

I still need to find a preschool for Aiden which requires many many phone calls and I hate the phone.

I have paperwork I need to get notarized and send back to the courts re:my dad's estate.

On top of all of that my house has been so neglected b/c of the nice weather. We are outside so much that we never have time to clean. I don't mind some mess here and there but it's bad and started to affect my mood.

I'm chipping away at it all but sometimes get lost in the vicious cycle of starting and never finishing the projects. I am stuck in a funk and need to find the positivity in it all and pick myself up and get it done!

Oh yea, did I mention I have about 30+ people coming to a birthday party on Sunday and I still have no idea what we are doing or serving for food???
