Today I have been feeling particularly stressed. Bo! :( When I get stressed I get overly emotional and also overly productive. I will whine and possibly cry, and then find 20 things that must get done right now. Yeah, high-maintenance much? Poor Mr. H is dealing with me quite well today; he's sweet and supportive (and helpful!) as ever. So far today I have: gone to church, made a quick grocery run, made a new pair of earrings, worked out, done 2 of the 3 huge loads of laundry, and.... the list continues but I won't bore you. And yes, my wonderful husband has been my partner-in-crime on just about everything. Oh what would I do without him?!
I think I have realized part of my stress is coming from February. How in the world does the shortest month of the year have so much STUFF packed into it!? As of today I have four scheduled meetings that begin at 7:30, three after-work appointments, two nights where I will be at school until at least 7pm, one full day of training in Farmington so I'll have to plan for a sub, and a few other odds and ends thrown into the mix. That means that out of the 20 work days in February, only 11 fall into what I would consider the "normal" category. Oh geez... I find myself praying just a little for one snow day so I have a really good excuse to stay cuddled up under my blanket on the couch for the entire day.
Okay, enough whining. One day at a time. Lord, give me strength. And grace and patience. Mostly grace and patience so I don't act badly when I become overwhelmed. Thanks!
Here are today's earrings in case you're curious.
yep. that's a phone pic. :) kind of grainy.
Oh, I almost forgot. I'm thinking about starting this new workout routine.
Wow, adding that onto the list above just might push me over the edge... we'll have to see.

Oh girl! I do the same thing! Once i get started on one thing I start thinking about EVERYTHING else that has to get done. Like today I am doing homework and thinking, holy crap i'm really NOT ahead of schedule, how I am going to do this with work and everything else going on!? Gah!
But yes, keep your faith in God and He will always give you strength. Even whenever it seems like you can't give anymore, He always will. :)
