Last night found me exhausted & frazzled. Sometimes I wonder how my life got to this hectic point. I just want to sit & read a book & watch a few Season Premieres. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so, yet I can't seem to fit any relax time in. Which in all honesty I know is important...down time is key, yet I find myself over-scheduled & then upset about it. More funny is I always said I wouldn't over-schedule myself or my kids. HAH! He's not even one & I've already failed on that one.
Let's see between Zack, my Cornerstone job, the home search, and committing to help on the Scott Smith for Mayor campaign (and not just as a random volunteer...like campaign staff...where did that come from??? More on that later.) and PLUS my sister & I have some other things in the works that I am worried is going to leave me spastic over the holidays...hmm, I wonder where all my relax time went?!? And as you all know this doesn't even touch the surface of every other "normal" thing...laundry, dinner, etc. I also seem to over-schedule myself with Kevin's "stuff" games, meets and um, the occasional toilet papering. Why do I do this to myself??? Oh yeah...because I usually find most these things fun.
However, I realize I must find some balance here soon. I did enjoy Amberly's post the other day...and while I know what she writes is true, I feel I too often find myself doing it on my own & then wondering, "where were my angels." When in reality I probably didn't stop long enough to ask & then look & wait. Does that ever happen to you? I like her comment about praying for specific things...that is something my mom has always stressed & I think I have always been specific...maybe just not consistent...wherein lies the problem. sigh.
I really think as opposed to doing everything rushed (that translates into stressed) so I can squeeze it all in, wouldn't it be better to just enjoy it along the way? My problem is, I am not so good at choosing or telling people no. I have a hard time turning down an opportunity, even if it logistically doesn't make sense. I figure I'm never going to have has much time as I do right now, so let's go for it...however, now I am feeling the effects of "going for it."
Anyway...enough of this babble. I have lunch with my Visiting Teachers today, 3 hours of work, packing for San Fran this weekend & an Office Season Premiere party tonight that I'm hosting (see? I took that on too...just for fun!!!)
I guess maybe I should just stop having so much fun & maybe I wouldn't be so frazzled. Here's to San Fran this weekend...and by the way, I do plan to take a book & have some down time in a hotel room far away, while Zack is taking his naps. sigh.

I love it...it's so true. Steve and I were just talking about you guys (we got the thank you in the mail) and saying how much we enjoy you guys. Super chill, great conversation, just all around goodness and fun. I then realized I think I like you so much because you remind me of myself, and as I read your post I find myself saying, me, me, me again!! Have fun in Cali!
