I feel like I’m being pulled in multiple directions. The title company requires signed paperwork. I’ve promised to help a friend with her fitness goals while maintaining mine. I’m committed to providing my family healthy meals each week. I signed up to volunteer at the food pantry and I may be joining others for a weekly Bible study. A friend of mine recently asked me if we’re okay, and another one accused me of being too busy to hang out. Most every night this month has something penciled in, which means very little “alone time” for Chrissy (and the housework is suffering, as well). What I’ve noticed more than anything, however, is that I’ve been a little rougher around the edges; less patient. Yet, as with most things I get myself into, I’m the one who’s making more work for myself. It’s time to call a time out to catch my breath. Or there won’t be enough of me to spread around.
Are you your own worst enemy?

Definitely, we take in so many responsibility that we sometimes forget what we want and what our goals in life are.

~ exactly! Spinning our wheels only serves to propel us in circles.

Oh I am so there with you… This seems to be a recurrent theme amongst fellow bloggers this week. I posted a similar thing a couple of weeks ago (http://wp.me/p2HFlv-45) – would be great to organise a blog holiday so we can all catch up with ourselves! X

~ you are so right. I read your post and see we are definitely in the majority. The gym is one thing that I cannot “give” on, however. Cut back yes, but that’s the biggest compromise I’ll make. Sleep is where I tend to sacrifice most. Which probably doesn’t help the mood. With that said, good night and pleasant dreams.

That’s interesting – sleep is the thing I try my best not to compromise on, because I simply can’t function without it!! Funny we seem to be in opposites there. You take care and don’t push yourself too hard x

I am the opposite and although I am proud of all that you do I wish that you’d schedule more time for my Chris. My Chris needs time to relax and ponder. My Chris needs time that isn’t being counted down to the next task. She needs these things and I hope you give them to her. She’s one of my dearest friends. LOVE YOU.

~ little do you know, but your Chris is watching your example closely. She is working toward change. Just takes her a a bit longer than the next person. And she loves you, too as you know 🙂
