I think there are so many times in our lives that we tend to become overwhelmed. We tend to over do it, and burn ourselves out. There are so many things we want to put our whole hearts, minds and beings into. Just because we strive for goals in our life, and sometimes come up short. Or pace ourselves. Doesnt mean our hearts have abandoned the cause. Its just a matter of getting the heart, mind, and will power to all one place. A place that is comfy for us, and not on the burn out side. What is right for one, might not be right for another. Its finding the happy median, your happy place, the place where you are at your peak but not ready to tumble down the hill.
After spending 2 days in bed with a migraine, I am much better, and ready to kick butt first...take names later. To my surprise, my husband kept the house intact. Even fed the kids. Even did laundry. Woohooo...I think hes trying to score brownie points lately. lol..
I hope you have a terrific week...kick butt!

pretty awesome
Good to hear from you! Looks like you're doing pretty awesome! way to go on your straight line in your chart!!!!!
I know how awful migraines can be. Take good care - give hubby tons of affection and compliments (that way maybe he'll always help out, whether you're sick or not). Enjoy your evening!
Couldnt have come at a better time. I was feeling SO overwhelmed and over it all a few days ago... nice to have that support and likeminded people around!
I think we all feel overwhelmed at times. It's good that your DH stepped up and helped out! My DH, on the other hand, is banned from doing laundry! Too many set-in stains and shrunken sweaters!
That is so the key...."finding your happy place." Sometimes we cram everything all at once and it's just a matter of learning to take it one day at a time, moment to moment.
I hope your feeling much better and I know you'll be back up kickin' butt soon....well considering your post was a few days ago, I hope your back at it now, lol.
Migraines can be so debilitating especially when one has children to care for. What a blessing to have a caring husband. You are doing great and an inspiration!
