Today I feel….Overwhelmed
I feel like I’ve been making this face a lot lately. My “ack” face. My “hurry up and get it done” face. My “just give me twelve more hours in a day and I know I’ll be fine” face.
And believe me….it ain’t pretty.
My to-do list has officially taken on a life of its own. And just like Will Smith in any alien movie (or robot or zombie movie, for that matter), for every one thing I take down…three more suddenly appear to take its place. And on and on it goes, until once again I find myself back… well, at ack.
I know I should just breathe. Take it one thing at a time. And after all, tomorrow is another day.
But somehow that just doesn’t make me feel any better. Because, honestly, sometimes we really do just need to let ourselves feel overwhelmed and be ok with that.
Even if it’s scary.
Even if it ain’t so pretty.
Even if it’s only with a refrigerator magnet.
Sometimes you just have to say out loud and for everyone to hear, “World….Today I feel overwhelmed.”
And y’know what… I’m ok with that.
hmmm…good word today!
I’m with you!
Di-tto!! Sometimes just hearing that other people are in the same….small, hole in the bottom, going upstream, without a paddle…boat that you are, makes it a little better.
It’s that time of year for me where I’m overwhelmed with editing. I didn’t think I would make it through this week, but things are already starting to look up! Somehow (or, with the help of somewho! :)), we always make it through.

You must be inside my head! This is like everyday for me and it’s getting old! I will try yelling to the world:)
I hear ya! Why are we overwhelmed? Did we miss something else that caused us to get to this point? Running and hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Ugh. Don’t I know it?! Go take a nap, eat some candy, watch some TV, and your cares will float away! ; )
I totally agree! I love that magnet, mine never moves off of his face. :)
ahhh….the life of a ‘doer’ :)
HOLLA!!
EXCELLENT! I’m not alone…. :-) That feels better.
How funny! I feel the same way, pretty much every day! You’re not alone.
