I’m Ba-ack!
Hey! Yeah, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted on this site. I think trying to keep up with three blogs, work full-time, and take care of my family started to overwhelm me. I’ve got some ideas on how I can change and rearrange things to work better, but it will take a little time to work it all out.
While blogging has been a very positive outlet for me, it has also been somewhat of an escape. I think it’s okay to escape the problems and trials of life from time to time, but there comes a time when we have to face up to our responsibilities. So, please bear with me while I try to sort it all out and find a way to fit it all in. I have a perfectionism issue where I think if I can’t do something completely and perfectly then I can’t do it all. I think it’s time to throw that notion out the window and just do the best I can!
Lin - Yes, there is SO much going on and so much to do! This will calm down when school ends, and work will be slow this summer. Yeah, we may need a little vacation!
Chuck - Yes, I never realized that perfectionism could be such a bad thing until I read the Flylady’s tips on getting organized and cleaning. When you think you can’t do something until you have the perfect time, perfect tools, etc… things never get done!
Sherrie, Good to see you back!
You deserve it!
I have given you an award, you can to to my blog to collect it. I know it’s a hassle, but this one is really a nice award!
Glad to see that you are back. I can relate to your post - I’m also having trouble fitting everything in at the moment and blogging has had to take a back seat to more important issues (it’s a shame as I enjoy blogging so much!)
I hope that you manage to work everything out. I am a perfectionist too but am now a bit better at doing things that are less than perfect!
Best wishes,
Roz
