I noticed today, that I don't feel overwhelmed. I'm wierded out by that because... I have less than 1 week before the tax job starts. I have no food cooked, my kids lessons aren't done, and my house is an absolute disaster. All I've been able to do for the last few days is sleep... still no idea why I'm feeling so sick/sleepy. I have a horribly busy day today, somewhat busy day tomorrow, busy day Sunday, and then back to work Monday.
But I don't feel overwhelmed.
What's the secret? I know I'm making progress. This morning, I got up about 10 minutes early, and spent that time cleaning. I took some stuff that had been cluttering up my house out to my car. (Catalogs, destined to be cut up at my friend Kim's house tonight, in between baking yummy stuff and while watching movies!) I've also had adequate rest (actually, it would probably qualify as excessive rest... 14 hours of sleep Wed. night, 10 hours last night,...) which helps me keep my perspective. And I haven't been ignoring God, which leads to a cycle of guilt/hiding/more guilt/more hiding.
So the lessons I've learned?
1. Don't ignore God.
2. Take action whenever you can, even if it's just cleaning up 5 items here and there.
3. Sleep when you need to.

Well, since you're so nicely balanced at the moment (okay, I'm jealous), tag, you're it. hugs.
Hi! Number one and two work great, but if you are a mom, number three has gone far out the window :) I can attest to the fact that I need to sleep far more than I am able to. But that's life with kids. One day, when I am old, I will sleep when I need to.
great lessons! good stuff for all of us to keep in mind. so glad to hear of your obvious progress, jana.
