Overwhelmed!!

You ever have those days…weeks, even months where you’re feeling overwhelmed? I don’t!

Ok, totally kidding, obviously I do, just like everyone else does.

Lately I feel like there’s just so much going on that I feel like I’m missing something or forgetting something every day. Yesterday I forgot to do the laundry…no joke! I brought it down, put it in the laundry room so it would be ready to go when I was and then totally forgot about it!

I’ll give you a little list of what’s been on my plate lately, not because I want you to feel sorry for me (I don’t feel sorry for myself!), but just so you know what I’m talking about.

Obviously being a wife and mom and working part time out of the house is pretty stressful. Just for kicks & giggles, let’s add in the fact that my toddler is just about 2…need I say more? I’m also 23 weeks pregnant…feeling good, but just more tired and emotional, which can add a whole new spin on things if I’m not careful to control my emotions!

Our vacation to Ont is coming up in just over a week, so not only does that take packing, but it’s making sure everything is taken care of at home while we’re gone, that Brielle will be amused on the plane ride enough to sit on our laps the whole time (quietly!). Then making sure we have transportation, car seat, play pen, etc organized for when we get there. Kids just complicate things 100%, don’t they?!

Oh, don’t forget that I also work part time from home, so that business really only does as well as the work I put into it. In the beginning it’s a lot of work, but I can see the payoff, so I’m willing, and excited to put the work in now!! A huge part of building any business is building relationships, and that doesn’t come very easily to me as I’m naturally a quiet, private person. I’m working on that, and really enjoying it!!

Wait, I also started taking part in a weekly ladies Bible Study…yes, it’s only one afternoon a week, but we have homework and studying to do for it, which I usually leave for the evening before (because who doesn’t love to procrastinate?!).

Oh, and I’m blogging about it all…so yeah. That’s my life right now, but I’m loving it and wouldn’t change it!!

  1. Kathy - good job young lady! I'm so proud of you and all that you manage to do. I'm sure your family appreciates your patience and humor as you embark on another road down your journey in life. You speak of packing to come to Ontario and we're thinking of our trip out to Kelowna BC in just over a week. No grand child born yet (a few days overdue now!) but I'm sure excited to meet him/her soon. Thanks for sharing your blog. Janis :)
