Falling Off The Path

 At the end of last week, I had sort of a melt down. By Friday, I felt I had accomplished very little and what I had accomplished, I still didn't feel somehow that it was enough.I pre-plan, typically every Sunday before the week starts.Some how last week things were just off.I like my house to be a certain way so I typically clean up everyday in some form or fashion. Although I have a horrible habit of washing clothes and then throwing them in a pile in my bedroom until they can be folded (Ladies, if you have any suggestions on how to tackle this problem, let me know).I could easily blame my disorganization and lack of ability to stay on track, on my 4-year old son and my dog. But, I won't even go there because I am a great multi-tasker!I can typically have a load of clothes washing or drying, be cooking breakfast, planning for dinner and answering emails or messages at the same time. However, last week I just felt tired mentally.I mean I only worked on Novel #2, twice last week. (Once, really because the second time I just opened it and looked at the screen for 5 minutes and determined that I wasn't going to write anything today anyway).

Later, Friday morning after a good 5 attempts to just get something done work wise, I message my husband in frustration and told him that I was feeling overwhelmed and tired.

Because he is the good man that he is, he offered to take care of everything for me this weekend so I could regroup. That evening I ended up with a headache so bad, I went to bed around 7:30 p.m. that night and didn't get up until nearly 8 a.m. Saturday morning (talk about I wasn't listening to my body).I think I was just really mentally exhausted!I think sometimes, we as women try to do any and everything and in the end, we end up exhausted.It's Sunday again, and now that I've had a few child-free hours to regroup, I feel ready to conquer whatever life throws me this week.Have you ever just needed a break?Let me know down in the comments!Until next time...
