Stress!

Hi Friends!

Ok, are you ready for a little "whine" party....... UGH, this week has been insane for me, and I'm really not for sure why?!?!?! And that's why there has only been a couple posts this week-which I profusely apologize for!! I had a lot of good ideas too, but they will wait a few more days. Here is what my week has looked like so far....(all days include my 8 hours of work)

Monday: Valentine's Day (of course), spent the night traveling from restaurant to restaurant (two were closed, welcome to the middle of Kansas, folks!) and the rest of the night "trying" to spend quality time with my husband while KU lost to K-State in basketball (not fun at all.....V-Day was a wash this year!)

Tuesday: My Intervals class after work and then directly after a meeting that lasted until 9....no post:(

Wednesday: Zumba after work. Directly after we had a contractor over to give us a quote on our windows (yes, we are getting new windows! Exciting, huh?!) Followed by making dinner, doing laundry and dishes-normal Wednesday night stuff:) Got a quick post in though!!

Thursday (yesterday): I had a great post planned, got everything ready for it....and then realized my Bodybugg came in the mail!! YEAH!! So after my Zumba class I travelled around town getting Tastefully Simple orders out after my party a few weeks ago. I came home and made dinner and set my Bodybugg up! Huh, well that took about 2 hours that I wasn't expecting! No post.......

Friday (finally!): I have Bunco tonight with the ladies, which I'm so excited for! I love girl time! But I'm trying to make some caramel chocolate cake balls for my dad's birthday also (which was 2 weeks ago but I'm finally seeing him tomorrow to give him all his gifts!) Gotta hurry....

And the weekend will be full of wrestling as I watch my dad's team compete at regional wrestling in Kansas. So, I'm soooo ready for Sunday (nothing planned!) to come!

I know everyone has busy lives so I don't want it to seem like I'm sooooo much busier than everyone else! My family knows though that I LOVE to stay busy and often volunteer for things and take on projects that will keep me busy. However, my family also know that about once every few months I have a stress breakdown. Nothing horrible, but the stress of keeping such a busy schedule overwhelms me and I crash for about a day, I'm grumpy, lazy, feel the world is coming to an end and I need to be pampered! I feel the stress rising to this level, which is not good! So I'm sooo happy it's Friday and I have a fun unwind night tonight (but I'm still thinking of my workout tomorrow, what will I eat to stay healthy at the wrestling tournament, what time I have to wake up, how will the bathrooms/floors/sheets get cleaned-STOP BRAIN!)

Anyway, I'm done with my rant! Sorry-I'm usually pretty positive on here, but as I said, my stress is risING!

In other news, I found a fabulous give-away at a fellow blogger's site that you should check out!
