Running in Place

Do you ever have those days where you just feel like you are running in place? I sure do.... Lately it feels like I am just treading water and unable to get a grip to move forward. Little bitty, petty things are bringing me down and making me really second guess myself which isn't good.

For example, usually I would be really excited that the holidays are coming up but for some reason, I am not feeling it this year. I don't know if it is all the work/travel/shopping/etc. I see coming or what. I love seeing our family but everything always feel so rushed which really stinks. JR's work schedule is hard to work around, my sister can only be in Iowa for a few days, everyone has work schedules that don't work, we don't want to let anyone down but we always do.

Today I  decided I would get somethings organized. It has been driving me bananas for awhile. So, I spent part of my afternoon de-cluttering and re-organizing our basement storage room and kitchen. It is ridiculous the crap we have accumulated in the past year, let alone the last 5..... what a mess. On a happier note, I did end up with 2 garbage bags and a box for Good Will, yay me!

  1. Mandy,
    Just so you know, you don't let people down...I know sometimes it feels like the world sucks but you don't let people down. You are amazing and I love you and seeing you for 5 mins is WAY better then not seeing you at all. So it will all work out!!
    I love you and I'm proud of you and even though I'm taller I look up to you big sis! So just remember you always have people rooting for you :) I love you!!!
