So Much To Do, So Little Time.

Anyone else feel like they have to accomplish everything just so they can relax? Except then you realize that it's impossible to accomplish everything, so your brain just goes crazy trying to figure out how you're going to get it all done? No? Just me?

I fee like I'm still in the never ending loop of busyness. Almost all of those extra added activities have been fun and things I looked forward too, which has been great, but I also get that stressed out feeling knowing so much more needs to be done.

We're celebrating Daniel's birthday at home tomorrow after school. I still have to wrap his presents, which shouldn't take long, except that I'm the world's worst gift wrapper. I bought a chocolate cake at Kroger tonight. I hung up the birthday banners...and then realized I have no table decorations like I usually do. Nor did I get any fun plates or napkins...so I feel like I'm depriving him and now I'll have to go back to the store for stuff after I drop him off at school! I feel like he gets the short end of the stick at home sometimes since we're almost always in Iowa for his birthday, but he'll get to celebrate there too!

James picked pizza for his birthday, and Daniel picked Wendy's, so supper is taken care of tomorrow night.

Since Daniel is getting a couple of games tomorrow, and he's been begging for a family game night, we're going to do that after supper. He doesn't know about that, but I know it will make him happy!

Then I still need to fit in household chores. I also really wanted to get Fall decor put away before we head to Iowa and start getting Christmas up. I KNOW I shouldn't stress myself out about it. It CAN wait, but we'll see. I get things in my head and feel like I have to do it. It's not like I'm letting people down, but I feel like I'm letting myself down.

Tuesday is much of the same, only add in making sure 24 cupcakes make it into the school without getting dropped, picking up a prescription, doing all the laundry, and packing suitcases. Oh, and hopefully a workout. I may have to lose the workout which bums me out.

But, THEN I get to spend time in Iowa and relax. My family is amazing. I tend to go into lazy mom mode. My parents help so much, and the boys will get to play with Aunt Erica, Aunt Nens and even Uncle James. I'll just be chilling and watching Christmas movies or HGTV.

Bring on Thanksgiving!
