I've come to the conclusion that very little makes me crankier than the feeling of being overwhelmed.
Sometimes it's the big things. Like the things I'd change about myself if I had a magical wand. Or the things I'd change in the world if I had a magical wand. Or the things I'd fix for those I love.
Sigh.
And sometimes it's the little things. Like trying to get out the door on time (which never happens!!) without blowing a gasket. Or it's been a week since I vacuumed and there's enough hair on the floor to weave a small rug (I thought short hair wasn't supposed to do that!!!). Or you can't even blink without being interrupted!! Or the toys are everywhere, my thoughts are everywhere and it's hard to know where to begin, end and focus!!!
I wish I had an instant solution for this feeling of being overwhelmed.
Because I do not like it at all.
I've been spinning my wheels all week.
Next week will be slower, I say to myself.
Next week I will pace myself better, I promise.
Sometimes I follow through, other times I don't.
Today was all about making a house a home.
Gentle(r) words :P, tidied corners, slowing down a little.
Accepting that there are some things you can change --- and others that you can't.
I'm starting to breathe easier again.

I agree completely - being overwhelmed is in its own little category of being able to really tick me off! That's when one really needs to get out! I hope the rest of the week is less overwhelming and that, if it is not, you find that strength to stay sane through it!
