Every have one of those mornings that you just wake up cranky for no good reason? Well, yesterday was one of those for me. Not quite sure what I was cranky about. After all, I have much to be thankful for...but at times I find myself overwhelmed with work, being a mommy, wife, friend, selling a house, etc etc. I notice that work directly correlates to my crankiness & I need to do something about that immediately. I find myself working ridiculous hours at times & repeatedly tell myself "it is just a job", but the perfectionist in me wants to be able to do everything, even when it might cost me family time & this is NOT ok for me. I go through stages with this struggle frequently- a bit of a roller coaster if you will. So yesterday when I was cranky, I took the longest hot shower of my life, slipped into the Jeans & felt a sense of relief come over me. Ok this might sound a bit dramatic, but I swear when I put the jeans on, I felt the presence of my gals & knew you were all with me saying "breathe breathe". The rest of my day was good & I actually asked for help with my work. So in a nutshell, I am taking the steps I need to take care of myself (why is it that we often times take care of everyone else & neglect ourselves?. So I am wondering how many days in a row I can wear the Pants?? Hee hee. I have to keep reminding myself that life is short & that I should be enjoying every day. I have to take my own advice for once.
We might have a house offer so that is good news. More to come....
By the way, for those of you that haven't read the Sisterhood books-Run to the nearest store to get them. They are fabulous. I am on book 4 & it is superb. I know Liz was enjoying it as well & probably finished it by now. I am being a slow poke with my reading, but it is certainly a nice distraction from reality. Hope you all are well.
