Way too much
Wed, Sep 16, 2009
It is almost 1am AGAIN & I am up working, still trying to put 4 more hours in a day than there are. Still resenting all the projects I have going! I am at that major burn out point- you know the point when you just have somany things going on that you are working so hard you can’t even think straight! Yeah that point!
I don’t want to sound whiny but, really this may kill me! I am pretty sure that super mom was on drugs by now! There just isn’t any way I can keep up this pace & be ok. I am not sure what to do or how to handle it, but something has to give..but what?
Maybe this is just how it is in this stage of life? Maybe this is just what you do & I have to earn my brownie badge of insanity before I can live a peaceful life? Maybe ? What ever it is I am sure it cannot go on forever, but the only one who can change it is me.
I only wish I had the time to slow down long enough to figure it out.

I can relate so much to what you are saying. If I need to reach one of my super busy mommy friends or one of my super busy mommy clients, the best time is during their “office hours”. For most of us, it is between 9:00pm - 12am. After kids have dinner, are in bed and husbands/partners have been “managed”. We do not need more time, becuase we would put more tasks in our day. Instead we need to focus on proactively taking care of ourselves, our needs and our time! This is so hard to do when you are in the middle of chaos. It is like trying to teach a person to swim when they are drowning. It’s all about having a plan and working it. Then, we need each other to help reinforce it. Wow, we need each other.
