Overwhelmed

So I have started working out again and I must admit it is hard to squeeze in.

On Monday after work I got my allergy shots and came home to run, but instead spent hours with a ladder and scissors harvesting our grapes. The grapes did not do as well this year (I'm assuming it has something to do with our water being off for a while when the sprinkles broke and flooded the backyard) and sort of crumbled all over the ground as I cut them off. So I had to also sweep up the huge mess afterwards. After that, I cleaned out the fridge of all our expired products, took out the trash, accidently dropped a carton of eggs which were kind of a pain to clean up and made dinner.

On Tuesday, I took Body Works at the gym. By the time I left it was already getting dark out. I raced home to put the trash cans away and start dinner.

On Wednesday, I struggled through a cardio kickboxing class, then went grocery shopping. By the time I got home it was about 8:30 and I still had to make dinner. I made a Dream Dinner and Nic and I ate by about 9pm (I honestly don't know what I would do without Dream Dinners). While I was making dinner I put away all the groceries and grabbed the mail. After dinner I did the dishes. By this point I was feeling pretty stressed out. 

I will admit that it has been more difficult this week because I am trying to cover all of my responsibilities and Nic's, but I always feel a bit overwhelmed. I kept thinking about single moms who have to do everything I'm currently doing and simultaneously raise kids! I also kept thinking about all these blogs I read about people who have these perfectly organized lives, while I constantly feel like 20 things get added to my to do list before I complete 1 old item. The scariest thing is that I normally do have a husband to help me and we don't even have kids yet!! How are we going to handle that? Our house is currently a disaster, my to do list is a mile long and I never get enough sleep....Sometimes being an adult seems SO overwhelming! I guess the one positive is that this week has made me appreciate all the help I normally get from my hubby.
