I believe in fate and in amongst all the crazy things going on I stumbled upon this great Blog post by Donna-Marie Coggins about ‘What to do when your workload overwhelms you’.  It has some great advice and reminds us to take a breath and do some planning and delegate as much as possible.  I sometimes forget that there are other people who can do the stuff I do; I just forget to ask them to help.

I discovered a great organizing tool this week, I have been using Google Reader to get my online reading organized to maximize my use of time, if you are into Social Media this is a tool you may want to check out.  I LOVE IT.  It is so easy to use it is amazing.  Check out this Blog for some great tips on how to use Google Reader to get organized: 6 Ways to Get Organized and Centralized with Social Media.

There is a lot going on this weekend if you are looking for some fun stuff:
