The past few days have felt like marathons. Lately, I’ve felt like a need a weekend after my weekend but it’s seemed like Mondays and Tuesdays end up being busy too and then by Wednesday I am so DONE. (Okay, I’m really done before Wednesday, but I try to fake it for a little while).
The weekend really wasn’t that busy overall, it’s just the way things fell and my apparent lack of prep for the week that got me feeling like I just needed another day. Not even a day, just a few quiet hours to get my life together again. (That’s a daily thing for everyone, right?)
I think the problem is that I actually felt ahead of the game Saturday morning, since I cleaned and did a bunch of stuff before book club on Thursday so that a sitter (a cousin) could come watch the kids that I sort of forgot to keep staying ahead of the game…Also, my head keeps going to these weird and critical and overwhelming places and my headaches have been increasing (they were decreasing)…and now I’m just starting to ramble.
I need to celebrate some wins!
