I Got The Blahs

As I lay in bed last night, trying to fall asleep, my mind was in a swirl of thoughts. As it often is.

In fact, most of my thoughts were about my next blog post. I had many things that I wanted to say. Things that were in my head and all jumbled up in my brain.

Today, most of those feelings and words are lost as I sit here to write this post, so I will just wing it for now.

Life has been one big whirlwind of busy-ness lately. It seems that most days I can not keep up. I know most moms, especially working moms, can relate. Work all day, come home to a messy house, hungry kids, piles of laundry and an empty fridge. Enough to make any sane woman want to pull her hair out.

We survive day by day here in this household. Each chore is done in pretty much a routine, but everything else is just put on a low prirority list. Most things are pushed aside until I feel like dealing with it.

I never was a slacker. I always had my bills paid in advance, emails answered at soon as I got them, and my house was clean (for the most part)

Now, I really do not feel like doing much. Not even blogging. Or reading blogs. Or doing much at all. I just want to come home from work, bathe, and relax.

I need a vacation.

Everyone needs a break now and then. Take one! We'll be here when you get back:-)

I wish I could give you a hug and do a load of your laundry! I totally empathize. Most days I feel like I am one of those circus acts who is balancing the spinning plates on the little sticks (well, I hope you've seen that before or that won't make a bit of sense :) I hope you get a break soon. Take heart...you are definitely not alone!!

How did you read my mind like that? That has been my last year or so. Take a break, you deserve it!

I hear ya. I don't know how you do it working full time and being a single mom! Hang in there and take some time off work if you have it coming to recharge!

Me too! I havent been sleeping well and I dont want to clean. Cheerleading practice is consuming our evenings so when we dont have it I just want to sit. Thats it, just sit.

{{{{{{{{{Amy}}}}}}}} I think everyone gets in these slumps from time to time. Allow yourself to wallow for a while, then pick yourself up and get back to business!

Justine :o )
