My year of chaos of 2009 has been sneaking into 2010 in drips and drabs.
I'm trying not to let it happen, but unfortunately I am not in control. (maybe fortunately)
I'm a control freak. I don't relax well. I worry. I plan. I panic.
Too much going on right now.
Do you ever want to yell, "STOP"?
Days whizzing by with barely a moment to catch my breath.
Making me rethink thing busy-ness that has been taking over my days.
I've been working full-time. This is not easy for me. I love being home.
I feel like I'm breaking. Too many things pulling me in different directions.
Do you ever feel this way? What do you do? What's your best advice for keeping it all together?
Moving the business this week. A huge undertaking and everything is not going smoothly.
Still working this week - gotta keep up.
Wearing my supermom cape this week for all three children.
Son #1 is (finally) looking for a job and just started college and I'm driving him (gotta help a little).
Daughter has cheer and school and gymnastics, her schedule never slows.
Son #2 has school and chess club and Fit Academy, a half day of school too. But he needs mommy more than the other two usually.
I have work, church, kids, working out, laundry, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc.
The plus? After this week, the business (my work) will be 5 minutes from my front door via car.
The bad news? That is my "me" time. Just me, God, and some awesome Christian music.
Do you ever just want to get into bed, cover your head, and hope that the storm, that is life, passes you by?

I hate when things feel like they are spinning out of control like that.
Usually the only thing that gives at those times is your sleep. Which you need if you're going to be able to keep up with the pace of the day.
Maybe there are a few things that can be simplified (meals) and a few things that can wait (housework)? Maybe a friend can help out with the driving of the kids?
Stay on top of it, Suzann. You can do it. I am cheering you on.
Oh, Suzanne, I feel for you.
How stressful is this? Man!
When I'm stressed to the max, I stitch more and it gets my mind off of things for a bit. If I'm counting threads, I forget the major stuff.
I also like to read but have found that as I get older, reading novels is hard for me because I get distracted very easy.
You have been exercising alot and that is supposed to be a great stress reliever......I need to get more into that. In the summer we walk all the time but in the winter we don't.
I also love, love to just soak in a hot, hot tub of water and put in some bubbly bath stuff and soak.
Don't worry about the housework as much. I'm one to worry alot but had to let alot of that go in the past couple of years due to health problems.
And if you can afford it, a pedicure twice a month is a GREAT stress reliever!!!!!
Hope this helps....but it's coming from someone who wants to pull the covers over her head right now too...LOL
Working full time with children is about the most stressful thing in the world. I was there once, and single. It was rough trying to get kids to school and here and there for practices.

Oh how I want to pull the covers over more than I like to admit myself sometimes...keep going is my only advice...you can conquer it!
