Overwhelmed

In the past couple of months I have:
  • Dealt with family drama in the face of the very real possibility that my Grandma might not be around much longer.
  • Transitioned into a new exciting-but-stressful job (same office, same boss, new salary, and a whole new set of expectations and responsibilities).
  • Begun the early stages of some major house renovations that we hope to complete over the summer (and run into several hurdles already).
  • Barely seen my husband who is in the midst of back-to-back-to-back continuing education classes on top of his full-time job.
  • Struggled to keep up with chores and routine stuff around the house.
  • Struggled to feel like a good mom when I'm stressed and running around like a chicken with my head cut off.
  • Become increasingly frustrated with my MIL and her behavior (this deserves an entirely separate post).
I am overwhelmed. And exhausted. And  super-stressed.

I know this too shall pass. I know this is not a permanent state of affairs. I know I really don't have any right to complain when there are so many people dealing with so much more.

But right now, I just needed to vent. And acknowledge all that is going on. And understand why it is that I'm tossing and turning at night, unable to sleep, my mind racing in a thousand directions.

That is all. For now.
