Whew! That was close!!

I have a confession to make.

I did something today I rarely do.

I am beyond exhausted. Between the move, work,

family life, deadlines & my charity work, I'm pooped. 

And today, while the rain fell softly outside & my

co~workers quietly worked, I closed my eyes for

a minute & actually had a nap, sitting up. I can't

believe my body was so tired it had to find rest. 

But in the end, it worked to take a little "cat nap"

& now I'm ready to go for my class tonight.

How do you catch up when you're extra tired?

Do you find some relief in taking a "cat nap"?

I Hurt.

It's crunch time! We have just a short time before

our new house will be ready. Won't you be happy

when we finally move & I can stop talking about

the build process? Of course, I may then launch

into the next phase of the new house: landscaping.

Until then, we have lots to do. I'm thankful that

we've been working on our move since before

we started the build. But now we're speeding

everything up to get the old house sold & packed

up. For the last two weeks, we've been painting,

packing & purging. I'm so tired of the whole

process. Tonight, this is how I feel inside:

And below is how my body feels: I hurt from

head to toe. Everything aches. Pain in spots I

didn't know could hurt. Everywhere. Ouch!

The only thing that helps is knowing that

all this work is getting us one step closer

to the country. Every box, every donation

bag, every paint stroke .... worth the effort.

Just wish it didn't hurt so much!!
