Only So Much You Can Do

You probably heard the phrase "There's only so much you can do."

To me this sentence indicates that you have limits -- you can't do something because there's only so much you can do, and you can't do more than that. 

That phrase popped in my head this morning when I two inconsolable babies, a frustrating hour on the phone with customer service, a floor covered in popcorn and mystery poop somewhere in the apartment.

Well, if I have limits, then I'm going to see how much I can do. Sweep and mop the floor. Wash and put away dishes. Wash diapers. Finish laundry and put it away.

And you know what. . . .it felt pretty good.

I felt almost as cool as this little goose.
