Saturday

It's been since the beginning of October that I had a Saturday off from work, and that day, it was not an off day.  Today was a day off, and I have loved it!  It has been a day spent with my mom, and just relaxing.  Of course, I've been thinking about work, but that's normal.  However, I didn't ever go up to the store.  WOW!  :)

The day was spent shopping, eating, relaxing, sewing, and just doing whatever I want.  It has been amazing!!!  I'm grateful for this day, and I'm grateful that I got to spend time with my mom and dad.  They are wonderful people, and I always have fun with them.

But I have to say, it all started with me being able to spend just a little bit of time with my husband last night.  We don't get to see each other a whole lot, but after I got home from a Scentsy party and him from work, we went to Chili's to eat.  It was great!

Now, to just get my back to stop hurting and everything will be perfect!  Well, along with my house getting cleaned.  :)

Running

My brain that is.  I am not running, even though I probably should start working out.  My body could use it, in so many ways!!

My brain never wants to shut off anymore, and that's getting a little frustrating.  There are so many thoughts, and not all of them are ones that I can share.  Some deal with work, and are just things that I have to deal with.  Others are personal and just an everlasting battle.  Then the rest deal with life itself.

What do you do to just slow down?  How do you manage the stress and ever growing list of things to do?

I used to be so good at it, or at least I felt I was, and now, I think I'm just getting burned out.  I want a vacation away from everything like a secluded beach with nothing to worry about, no watch to wear and a good drink in my hand.

It's almost 2am, and I'm just not sure when I will be able to get to sleep.  I'm not really tired, but I believe I fell asleep for a little while on the couch after I watched Food Network - The Next Iron Chef.  :)  I am finally washing some clothes, but have many more to wash.  The pile was getting too high, and the availability of items to wear was getting to small.  Yea, I make a horrible housewife as this house is a wreck!  I even forgot to feed my animals until it was 1am.  Oops!  I'm probably going to be the worst mom ever when that day comes!

Oh my brain!  If you have any good tips on slowing down, let me know.  And no, there's nothing for me to cut out at this moment.  LOL!
