Do you ever feel like your life is a juggling act? “Balancing singing, acting, and being a mom is a "juggling act", but my kids come first.” - Jennifer Lopez talking about her busy life. (Us Weekly) Jennifer Lopez is just like us. She has a lot of different roles and responsibilities, and sometimes has a hard time dealing with all of them at once. Her responsibilities may be a bit more glamorous than the average person’s, but she isn’t the only one whose life feels like a juggling act sometimes. In the circus, a juggling act is when someone keeps a bunch of objects in the air at once, like balls, knives, or even flaming sticks. When we use the expression, “It’s a juggling act” about our own lives, we might not be talking about something as exciting as juggling fire, but we are talking about something challenging and stressful. When your life is a juggling act, you have to do many different things at once, such as work, go to school, be a good friend, and maybe even raise a family. Another expression like juggling act is have a lot of balls in the air. This expression also comes from juggling, because jugglers have to keep many different balls in the air at once. If they drop one, the show’s over. If your life feels like a juggling act, you can say, “I have a lot of balls in the air right now.” J Lo has to juggle multiple careers and being a mom. But she says that nothing is more important to her than her kids. If she had to let one ball drop, it wouldn’t be them! What are you trying to juggle in your life right now?
