I have the old disco song stuck in my head ... Freak Out! I have a low-level anxiety resting on my chest, and it feels hard to breathe ...
The kids are about to go to Disneyland over the weekend with my in-law's ... it makes me nervous to let them go without me. And then there is work. And then there is fundraising for the high school youth trip to Transylvania. And there is planning for the fundraising auction for Carbon's school. And there is managing the household. And there is carting the children around to school and other activities. It's a juggling act to keep the schedule straight, and I'm always in a mentality of how to raise money for things and worrying about money.
Freak Out!
I'd like to just relax, stop the wheels turning in my head, and take the batteries out of the clocks. Wouldn't that be nice? Is summer coming soon? No wait - I don't want it to come soon because I don't have the funds raised for that trip yet ...
Oh gosh, I hope you are able to let that anxiety go. The world won't stop turning if some of those things don't happen, but you most certainly won't continue to be there for those you love if you continue to push and worry all the time. Take care...
ReplyDeleteSo sorry--I know that feeling. I'm sure the kids will have a great time, and the ID tags are an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tara: the world won't stop turning if you don't do everything perfectly!
