Overwhelmed!
Day 4 of 365 - Man Break
So much to do this week and not enough time! It's hard to imagine I even notice whether a man is in my life or not with all the stuff I have to do. I might as well put up a Taxi sign on my car and collect tips from my kids except usually when they get out of the car they expect money from me:)
One of my very bad habits is perfectionism. I want everything just right and if it's not it bothers me. I can't just get by. It has to be done right. Three square meals a day, help with homework, tidy house, work full-time, laundry done, exercise, relaxation, self-help, dance classes. I mean seriously when do I have time to do all this perfectly. The other day my daughter came to me asking my advice as to what to do when you are feeling overwhelmed. What could I say? Take one thing at a time and breath. It will all turn out okay.
So today I'm stressed ... so she grabs my arm and says "Take one thing at a time and breath. It will all turn out okay".:)

It is good to have your won good advice mirrored back to you ;)
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. I am glad that you are taking the time for a tidy house and exercise. Those are both great self care things that pay big dividends.
Nothing is worse then being stressed AND living in a huge mess!!!
Thanks SusyP :)
