it is my turn over at onelittleword
i meant to post this last week...but that long list i created for myself got in the way :)
which is a good thing...
i'm trying to get better at giving myself a break when i don't "get it all done"...
it's tough b/c i'm one of those over achiever types...
who tries to plug all those holes in the dam
all...by....herself....
it's been sobering that it just isn't possible to do it all...
& that has got to start being perfectly okey dokey...
i just have to get used to it....
kind of surrender to the chaos a bit...
b/c i suck as "overwhelmed gi"
so wish me luck :)
as dory says in finding nemo....just keep swimming...just keep swimming
happy monday!

first of all i LOVE that layout gigi! so awesome.
also totally with you on the over achiever number...and with three kids how can we do it all?? Need to get better about not letting it get to me too -
and love the quote - that might just be my new motto too :)

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Stop trying to be all things in all areas of your life - you can not improve on perfection my love. ;)

It is SO hard when your babies are little ones....
I know how you feel .. I spent many years feeling that very same way..
I promise you Gi...the older you get the easier it is.
Promise.
In the meantime.. be good to YOU.. take time to just be.
You cannot offer yourslef to others .. if your own glass is empty.
kiss kiss.

just keep swimming is one of my favorite movie quotes of all time!
I say it over and over to myself when I get frustrated!

You're a cute little swimmer Gi :)

Hugs...
