This post is inspired by Kat’s…http://inspiredtoaction.com/2011/11/2-reasons-why-you-might-feel-overwhelmed/
Yeah, I’m overwhelmed and for both the reasons Kat gives in her post – TIRED and LACK of PLANNING.
I am tired. I am still up most nights with the little kids. At least one of the three youngest up at least once in the night. DH’s schedule keeps me up as well. I know that’s my choice, partly, but I do want to see him too. So I’ve been working on it… I’ve been taking naps right after I get the little three asleep! I’m getting more sleep.
The lack of planning is tougher. I think. I am running on auto-pilot… Sleep, up, sleep, up, food, coffee, laundry, dishes, food, nap for kids, work, home to make food, clean up, baths, sleep, sleep, up…. There is no real to do list. I operate on let’s get done what needs to be done before it grows feet and walks… OH you have no underwear under there…. well, I guess we better get some laundry done pronto (without a dryer it can take up to 24 hours!).
So I need to plan to make a plan… Even if that plan is to plan to do what we are already doing. KWIM? I just need to be more intentional to feel less overwhelmed. I think. I just don’t know what the best plan is…

I SO hear you in this post. I got frustrated by just what you're writing about here a number of months ago, but it hit me that there's Somebody who knows me and really cares about me that desires my success, so I decided to talk to Him about what I was struggling with. Darn the whole mother of many rat race, huh? Anyway, He helped me realize that any little step in the right direction is just that, a step in the right direction. So, yah, you need some planning time, but even if you just add one little step to a routine each day or even each week and then make yourself do it, you're on the right track. Hang in there, my friend. I'll be cheering for you! We CAN do this!
