Getting Honest
Hey Sweet Shoppers … So, I have a confession to make … I am COMPLETELY overwhelmed with life right now. I am not sure how I got here – but my “to-do” list is so very long that I don’t even know where to start – so instead of doing something, even a little something, I do nothing at all (well – not nothing – I am ALL caught up on The Bachelorette! LOL). UGHH. My house is a disaster – which is VERY unlike me … and I am barely scrapping at all (and when I do, I don’t really like the results). I am trying to focus on my health and lose some weight – but even that feels like an insurmountable task right now. When I write this out – it seems a little more melodramatic than it really is – because I am getting good food on the table, washing clothes timely (sort-of HAHA), having fun with the kids and doing all sorts of summer activities. But – I am a bit of a perfectionist and I want to do it ALL … and RIGHT NOW. Are any of you like that? It’s so frustrating! I have a list of projects that is a mile long (probably literally – haha) and I don’t know if I’ll ever get to half of them. I even had really fabulous plans to make a blog post about all the little random things I am loving right now – including a super cute LO (obviously not yet created) – but of course I didn’t finish it 🙁 Maybe for next month? Anyway – I just wanted to vent a little – so that’s what this blog post is all about! Not very uplifting is it ?!! LOL! Well – I swear I’m not as bad off as I am making it sound – but I AM a bit crazy right now … and I think this week is the week to change things up and get to work on some things on my “to-do” list, even if I don’t complete them perfectly.
And I’ll leave you all with this inspirational quote I found on Pinterest – I’m going to try to remember it!

I’ve totally been there. One thing I think helps take a little stress off your brain is to declutter your to-do list. Maybe there are things on there that you don’t feel are as important to get done as you did when you wrote them on there. I did this earlier this year and it is very freeing.

I’m feeling much the same way right now, Dana. This summer has seemed so busy and like my brain is moving in 30 different directions all the time. But, I’m caught up on The Bachelorette, too. LOL. And, I have been spending more time with my kids, so that is good. Hang in there!!
