Where is "Nowhere Land"?

 As a mother on the go there are still places that I never go because other things take priority.  This picture reminds me of the escape that I so long for at times.

For example, today I had to take one child and her friend to one school, take another child to a different school (waiting 20 minutes for the school to open so she could go inside).  Then I had to rush home finish making myself look presentable with a quick pin up in a barrette and some blush.  Then I had to rush out the door to take another child to get his required immunizations so that they would not evict him from his studies.

However, when I was on my way to the appointment I realized that I had forgotten the required paperwork (his shot record).  As I was turning around--getting stressed because I was already late--I almost got in the way of another car.  Whooo--that was close.

I run in the door--run out the door with paperwork in tow.  Throw it at my son and tell him to not lose it under any circumstance. Back out of the driveway and call the office to see if we can still keep our appointment because it is actually time for our appointment.  Everything is fine so I press forward.

Meanwhile, I have on my mind, the homework that I still have to complete, the anxiety that my son is feeling because he knows that he is getting shots--plural.  And wondering if I can do this much longer before going off the deep end.

But I made it.  Just not to the dock in the picture with the boat that will take me to the middle of "nowhere land."  But I made it.  I am calm, cool, and collected and ready to chill.  Oh, wait--I have to leave for class in five minutes.  Does anyone know how to create more time out of none?
