LOL). \u00a0UGHH. \u00a0My house is a disaster &#8211; which is VERY unlike me &#8230; and I am barely scrapping at all (and when I do, I don&#8217;t really like the results). \u00a0I am trying to focus on my health and lose some weight &#8211; but even that feels like an insurmountable task right now. \u00a0When I write this out &#8211; it seems a little more melodramatic than it really is &#8211; 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. \u00a0But &#8211; I am a bit of a perfectionist and I want to do it ALL &#8230; and RIGHT NOW. \u00a0Are any of you like that? \u00a0It&#8217;s so frustrating! \u00a0I have a list of projects that is a mile long (probably literally &#8211; haha) and I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll ever get to half of them. \u00a0I even had really fabulous plans to make a blog post about all the little random things I am loving right now &#8211; including a super cute LO (obviously not yet created) &#8211; but of course I didn&#8217;t finish it \ud83d\ude41 \u00a0Maybe for next month? \u00a0Anyway &#8211; I just wanted to vent a little &#8211; so that&#8217;s what this blog post is all about! \u00a0Not very uplifting is it ?!! LOL! Well &#8211; I swear I&#8217;m not as bad off as I am making it sound &#8211; but I AM a bit crazy right now &#8230; and I think this week is the week to change things up and get to work on some things on my &#8220;to-do&#8221; list, even if I don&#8217;t complete them perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ll leave you all with this inspirational quote I found on Pinterest &#8211; I&#8217;m going to try to remember it!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/when-feeling-316x316.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13589\" title=\"when-feeling-316x316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/when-feeling-316x316.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"316\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/when-feeling-316x316.jpg 316w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/when-feeling-316x316-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/when-feeling-316x316-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Sweet Shoppers &#8230; So, I have a confession to make &#8230; I am COMPLETELY overwhelmed with life right now. \u00a0I am not sure how I got here &#8211; but my &#8220;to-do&#8221; list is so very long that I don&#8217;t even know where to start &#8211; so instead of doing something, even a little something, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":156,"featured_media":13589,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[105],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13588"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/156"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13588"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13588\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13590,"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13588\/revisions\/13590"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
