On my plate

Here's a list of all that I am (or feel) responsible for right at this moment. Besides dropping school, I need to filter out some of these as well.
- My kids and their emotional and physical health, including taking them to appointments, working on Tyler's IEP, getting Tyler stabilized, and helping Tayler with her anxiety.
- My husband and working on our relationship.
- My body and losing weight, caring for my hair and body, seeing the doctor regularly..
- My kids and their activities including homework, soccer, choir, girl scouts, and plain old social interaction.
- My house and taking care of it - that means doing the laundry and the dishes and helping out with keeping things clean and orderly.
- My writer's group and keeping the prompts going and writing what I can for that. I want to keep this one because I enjoy writing.
- My job and making up the time I've had to take to cover responsibilities above.
- My debt and paying it off while not incurring any additional debt.
- My friends and being a supportive and caring friend who is there when they need me.
- My parents of bipolar kids group and continuing to try to organize meetings so I get support from other parents like me. I don't want to drop this one either.
- My therapy and trying to handle my life and my issues, and my skeletons in the closet.
- My medications and making sure I take them and making sure I keep my doctor up to date on how I am doing.
- My bipolar disorder and doing what I can to minimize mood swings and get through the really extreme ones.
- My family and encouraging nuclear and extended family to get together and do stuff together.
- My job as webmaster of my kids' school website and keeping up with events and posting information sent to me. I need to delegate this one.
- My various other websites I support.
I think there's more but I can't think of any of it right now.
