You know how it goes…you have been there too. Everything around you is spinning faster than you can keep up with it. You work and work and keep getting further behind. This one wants this…that one wants that…you are being pulled from all directions. You meet yourself coming and going. Which way do you go? What do you do? I too often try to be all things to all people and sometimes it is just overwhelming….the merry-go-round of life. I just want to jump off this ride for a while. But that can’t happen. Work lady, wife lady, mom lady, church lady…which one wins out this week? I brought home a stack of work from the office for the weekend, if I do that, the house won’t get cleaned, if i clean, my office work won’t be done. If I do my Bible study, work AND house stuff isn’t done. What do you do to be successful at all of those? I need to be more Mary than Martha. Sit at the feet of Jesus, but then that means work doesn’t get done….and that puts me on the merry-go-round again. Whew…..anyone dizzy besides me?

Girl, we might as well be wearing the same shoes right now. I feel the same way, with insane attached. Hope you find sanity and balance soon. Love you!
Yes ma’am! I stay dizzy! I feel like I’ve never done a good job of keeping everything together without feeling completely stressed out all the time. And I get really tired of feeling so stressed!!! More and more lately I find myself pleading with the Lord to please come quickly – I know there is something better waiting for me! LY!
[...] over the past two weeks and will likely continue through the end of January. I feel like K over at A Changed Heart. Hub is trying to finish up his 120 hours of clinicals he must do before he graduates RN school [...]
I am dizzy ALL the time. It seems like I go round and round and nothing ever gets completely done. I don’t know what the answer is, but if you find out let me know.
A. I would stop the Bible study for holiday weeks. Seriously. How holy is it to try to get spiritual when you have tasks looming. Just rest in the fact that it’s okay to leave a few blanks in your book a week if the class has to go on. Share in what they learned and let it be.
B. Fake the flu, stay home from work, and clean the house. This involves lying, which means then that you’d have to get back to the Bible study in all that time off and pray the Lord returns before you get back because it will all be waiting for you.
C. Nobody goes home until you go home. See…now this is the thing about working in an office…it’s fine to do work, but to other people’s piddly work so they can get off early while you suffer…that is crazy. Everyone does their own work. I don’t exactly know how to make this happen in an office, because I’ve been stuck before there, too…but it just seems reasonable.
D. Do what Jo does and order out a lot of the Thanksgiving meal to keep from going insane trying to do it all.
E. Leave The Hub a honey-do list. I’m sure he’s up to the challenge of a vaccuum and some clorox wipes at least…then you can declutter and focus on the kitchen.
I have no idea why I made this list, but it just seemed fun to tackle.
Hang in there…
