I'm in a Rut

Haven't blogged much lately...I think I'm in a blogging rut. Nothing new to write about as everything is still the same...still too hot outside and still working hard.

But things will change tomorrow.

Right now I'm feeling overwhelmed and a little depressed. We leave for AZ tomorrow and I have alot to do today. I need to be ready to leave the house by 7:15 am. We're caravaning with another family to AZ and we're meeting for breakfast at 7:30. We're also meeting my sister/brother-in-law for dinner tonight.

I need to get busy but I don't feel like it. I just keep thinking about how I'm gonna miss little sis.

Oh no, here come the tears.

UPDATE: I put on a beautiful CD that Bren sent me and I lit my favorite candle...and then went to work. I've now dusted, decluttered a bit, done some laundry, shined up the kitchen, hosed down the patio/backyard, and have swept and mopped the house. So now I'm happy to report that I'm not feeling so overwhelmed anymore. This is so indicitive of my nature. If my house is in order, life is good. I'm glad that I made myself get busy because now I'm ready to tackle the day.

As I was mopping, my hubby left to go run an errand. He hadn't been gone 10 minutes when he came back home. He'd gone out and bought me a fountain drink Pepsi! My house is in order and I have a fountain drink. Yes, I'm happy now.

I so know exactly how you feel. But really, have fun in AZ!

I know how you feel...when I dropped my daughter at school last year, I cried the entire way home...6 hours! And then every time I saw her, it was great...till I had to say good-bye again. This year, she's going to school in Green Bay, which is a little closer to home!

Hugz,
Michele

I'm sure it's difficult....mine will be graduating from high school this year (a year early) and I'm gonna miss her (just won't miss the attitude...)!

I know what you mean. Every time my son comes home, as the time comes closer for him to leave, it's always near in my thoughts and if I think about it I'm in tears. You'll be in my prayers - have a good time on your trip!

I'm glad you overcame! Be safe driving to Phoenix.
God bless,
Brenda :)

A clean house and Pepsi sound so good - have fun in AZ!!

I have the same reaction whenever I'm in a funk, if I just begin to clean, organize--whatever--I feel better.

Your husband is a keeper!

What a thoughtful husband you have. It's good when you canb recognize your own little idiosyncracies (sp?) and are able to keep focused and work through your own doubts and depressions. Seems like your husband knows you well too and did just the right thing. Hope he got rewarded.
Thanks for the birthday wishes you sent and hope you weekend will be a good one.

So sweet of you hubby to notice that you needed a little 'pick-me up'. Nothing like a big soda to help make the day better.

I can't wait to get together with you and Bren while you are here (you might have to put up with a little coughing - sorry).
