Get Moving!

In the midst of my plan to blog about my journey through Power Thoughts, I visited my Dr. I wanted to discuss my inability to put my brain on pause for even a moment. Once he asked me what I had going on in my life it became clear. I NEED TO STOP!
I went down my list:
1. Opening and operating Meemee's Daycare
2. Pregnancy
3. Working at Boise State
4. Raising Lily
5. Stella's birth
6. Stella's life
7. Everything else that our crazy chaotic life entails with the cleaning, and the cooking and the shopping and the visiting with friends and the reflux that Stella has and on and on and on.......
Clearly, I have been busy. I am not complaining or bragging or singing along with this large violin that is playing behind me as I write this, I am just saying that obviously, I have been doing too much. It is really no wonder that I felt the steam run out of my engine months ago and I have been operating on caffeine and a touch of crazy for the past several months
and little else. What an absolute JOY it will be this Summer when I shut the doors to Meemee's Daycare and spend the next however long playing with my girls and working 1 job (1 job!!!!) at Boise State!!! Blessings abound in all shapes, sizes, and cirsumstances. I have lived enough to know that we will be alright financially with this change. I have prayed enough to know that this is the right choice. I plan to nap a bit and breathe a bit. We will plant some veggies. 6 more weeks. Cheers to the sun coming out sooner or later! I already feel a bit sunnier in my demeanor now that the choice has been made.
If you are wondering: My Dr. says I am not suffering from depression, it is Adjustment Disorder. Clearly this is not the first time I have been "suffering" due to my inability to adjust to our everchanging chaos. File this diagnosis under No $#@*!!! I've got a feeling I will have no problem "adjusting" to my lighter workload come May 13th!!! I've got a feeling... that that night is going to be a good night! Whoo Hoo!!!
