Bad, bad, blogger. Yep. That's me
Good afternoon to everyone! Oh man, am I a bad blogger or what? I've been so busy here this last week it's hard to take even just 30 minutes to write a post or read anyone else's for that matter.

I like keeping busy. but this is ridiculous. Monday I cut our yard, Tuesday I cut my MIL's yard and I was supposed to go back today and weed-eat, but I simply don't have time today. Hopefully the rain they are calling for tomorrow wont get here until late tomorrow night and I'll be able to do it in the morning.
I'm taking my SIL to the eye doctor today @ 2:30 and then I've gotta go get a wedding shower gift for my cousins son and his fiance. I feel like a rubber-band that's being stretched to it's limits. As soon as my feet hit the floor in the mornings I'm off and going breakneck speed.

I not only take care of our yard and home but my MIL's yard and some of her home chores as well. I have to plan lessons for my son, walk my dogs, do laundry, cook, shop, pay bills, run and pick up prescriptions for various family members, I take my MIL, SIL, Mom and Granny to all of their doctors appointments, and I just feel so tired and stretched.
I know that a lot of you out there do way more than me, but for me this is overwhelming at times. Especially for someone who didn't leave the house for almost 2 years like myself. I only left it once a week to literally RUN through the grocery store and throw food in the buggy.
Now don't get me wrong, I love getting out of the house and going places now and helping my family members, but I just feel like this is almost like having a job or something. It consumes so much of my time. I just feel like I am always on the go- constantly.
I'd like to stay home a couple of days a week and maybe sleep in without my home phone and or cell phone ringing off the hook. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm belly-aching, I'm just tired.

But I have been feeling GREAT mentally (aside from the stress I just mentioned.) My weight and eating habits are right on track and I just feel awesome mentally about food and all that. I feel that I'm slowly getting to my goal. It's taking forever for my body to let go of the last pounds, but I know it will get here in it's own due time. It's just I'm an immediate kind of person, I want things done right then, I want that right now, kinda like Veruca Salt off Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie.
Sings ~~~~> "I want it nooow!" *LOL*

So I'm gonna have to go, I've gotta hop in the shower, get ready, take my SIL to the eye doctor and after that I have about a million other things to I need to get done today. I'm so looking forward to fighting the mall traffic this afternoon when I have to go shopping for the shower gift today. <SIGH>
I hope that you are all having a GREAT day! Be sure to use today to get closer to your goal!! I'll check back in and check on you all hopefully later on tonight.
Keep on rockin' it!

As Nelly Furtado would say...
I'm the wonderwoman, let me go get my rope
I'm exhausted just reading your post! Keep running around like that and you'll be at your goal in no time. PLEASE take a few minutes of quiet time out for yourself. If you don't take care of yourself, no one else will!

Slow Down!
I think that at some point in our lives we have to deal with this and we all know its hell. You are always busy and everytime I come to read your blog you are always doing something or going somewhere to finish an errand or to take others on their errands, you have such an amazing heart, but I do think that sometimes you should take some time off and take time just for you. I like the idea of staying at home with the phones off and just relaxing!
Well I hope you can get some "me" time! I know you are doing great with your weight loss efforts you said it right, it will come off!
Happy Thursday!

What a busy girl you are!
You sound a lot like my husband. He always likes to be busy too and barely sit more than 5 minutes. Even if he was at the computer, he would constantly get up to go to the kitchen or the bathroom or anywhere and then come back. He just can't sit still. Sometimes I envy him with such high metabolism and energy. I have to force myself to be busy so I can get some exercise in. But it is important to take some me time, so you can refresh yourself instead wearing yourself out!
