How do YOU turn off? I mean, how do you ACTUALLY do it. I have a business I run from my home and it keeps me really much busier than I ever anticipated. That is a blessing. However, I also have (1) child to get up and out the door for school (2) to take care of while I process orders, answer emails, write articles, research, answer phones etc. . . that has to do with the business.
On top of that I am trying to mix in laundry, dishes, housecleaning and letting the dog out to pee on occasion.
Then there is wiping noses, bums, getting lunch, settling naps, nursing and a ton of other things.
So, I am go-go-going all day trying to do the mighty juggling act.
I know
, boo hoo, right?
Let me say I love my work, my kids, my husband (who God bless him, takes the back burner more often than not) and well . . . there isn't one part that I want to give up.
It is just that I run out of time and here it is 2:15 in the morning and I just finished the day - literally, I just finished printing invoices and getting UPS ready to go with my dh on his way to work.
So, mommas - how do you turn off and relax. I can't remember when I relaxed last. I need lessons. I need SOMETHING. I really don't think I can keep this up without dropping the ball somewhere.
I don't feel frantic . . . yet, but there are days when I could pull 'Working Girl' and sit at my desk and cry for 5 minutes (thank you Holly Hunter for revealing a 'need' in my life) just so I can move forward at a somewhat decent, structured pace.
Why do you think my location says - In the Midst of Organized Chaos? That is truth personified in my life!
