Busy week has me anxious

We have a very busy week and it's really stressing me out.
Tonight we are going to Joel's grandmother house for Cinco de Mayo
Tues Joel and I are going to our support group
Wed is practice night for volleyball the boys
Thursday is my daughter's lessons for the cello
Friday we are going to a baseball game with my work
Saturday is volleyball games
Sunday is mother's day so back to Joel's grandmother house

I've been struggling to plan quick and easy meals and snacks, making sure we'll have everything we need each night. I have lists on the fridge, post-it notes around the house and alarms set on my phone with reminders.

The tough thing, yet really useful and vital thing, is to remember we only have Now. Not later on or tomorrow or Friday. But Now is the time of our lives. I remember reading that in an Eckhart Tolle book. That if we want real joy or peace we need to remain in Now. He said in * Now * , I can think clear, and am in peace and calm. The minute the mind chatter moves to yesterday, or in two days into the future, we are not present, so not clear. It's hard because I do it too ...I remember my therapist saying to me about my worry thoughts, When you reach that day or possible worry a few days from now you will DEAL WITH IT THEN. 🌺🌻 I have to remind myself of that but I like it.
