Do you ever feel like you keep moving but you know you are forgetting something? You have so many chores, thoughts, important things swirling around in your head you are certain you have dropped one of those proverbial balls?

I don’t get overwhelmed easily. I’m a good multi-tasker and in some ways like the Energizer Bunny. I can keep going, and going, and going until I sit down. As soon as I sit down to unwind don’t expect me to get up again.

Some people, like C, have to come home sit and relax before they can get up and get stuff done. I’m the exact opposite. As soon as I walk in the door the list of things that need to get done tonight are running through my head.

• Feed and let the dogs out
• Throw a load of laundry in
• Take Scooby for a jog
• Take the garbage out
• Throw the ball for Nani
• Mini-workout
• Change loads of laundry
• Clean up living room
• Make Lunches
• Set coffee pot
• Find something to eat
• Fold clothes
• Put clothes away
• Get ready for bed

Wednesdays are my “off days” where I come home directly from work. Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays are my tae kwon do nights where I go straight from work. So Wednesday is my time at home. Obviously, that list above makes me tired thinking about it.

I usually don’t whine about this because I do it to myself. I have other things that I find important enough to do during the week. I guess I’m just crabby and in need of sympathy. Next week is going to be hell at work and I’m not looking forward to it one bit.

I’m tired. And all I can think about is the next thing I have to do. I feel like I’m breaking down. I really need to just take a step back and breathe.

Do you ever have to remind yourself of that? To just breathe. It’s just life, right?
