Simplify

Last night I finally had a meltdown.

This past week was the icing on the cake.

I've been so stressed lately. There is so much to do, and I keep feeling behind. Behind in Cares, photography, laundry, my time with my family. I haven't actually *made* dinner in weeks. Weeks. I leave the house in a total rush each morning and come home to chaos. Add onto that - stress about renters, SG napping, Zac's counseling, coordinating the class gifts for both of Zac's preschools, photo clients waiting for their pics, cost of computer, cost of dental... I've been wanting to get together with several different families and our schedule is too crammed. :(

We always have Cares stuff to keep us busy - between planning events, having events, visiting residents every single weekend, making dinners for people, visiting people in the hospital, coordinating weekly soccer games with the kiddos, as well as weekly accountability for it all. It's a LOT!

I broke down last night. Rare for me, as I can hold things in for an awfully long time. ;)

I am sooooo burned out.

And so we are simplifying.

Solution:
No summer committments (swimming lessons, gymnastics, etc)
No summer photography sessions
No gym membership
No more kids for us (we had been tossing around the idea of having a 3rd baby)

Less computer
Less television

More morning quiet time
More last-minute play dates
More spontaneous fun
More energy to invest into our residents


I think I have just enough to get me through the next couple weeks until summer officially starts.
