I've got a lot on right now. Not that I'm complaining (for once), I always have a lot on and that is how I function best. Bored me is a very sad thing to see - I lose the will to live, give up on everything and forget things like when I last washed (myself, the kids, my clothes, whatever). That said, I constantly tread a fine line between having a lot on and being overwhelmed. In the last couple of years I've learned where that line is - I had to after my complete meltdown of early 2009. One thing that I know well is that if I have the house clear and clean, and have plans for meals and activities, then a massive chunk of overwhelmedness magically disappears.
Life is busy. With a new job, latest book going along nicely, kids and school stuff, and constant guests over the last 6 weeks its been more ridiculous than usual. I knew this time was going to be a challenge, and I purposefully let the house go and decided that the weightloss journey was on hold. (I have maintained the weight I was at, and have 5kgs to go to get to my first goal of a healthy weight/bmi - woo hoo). I knew there was only so much I could handle, and instead of trying to do it all and ending up back on drugs, 5kgs heavier and sick as a dog, I took steps to keep some semblance of balance going. And it has worked. It really has.
But, its time to get it all back on track. I've got a kids party here in a few of weeks, we're in the downward slope to Christmas and long school holidays, and now is the time to get it all together before chaos descends again.
sigh.

Good luck! Printable calendars are my trick. There is nothing better than the feeling of getting your sh*t in one sock. Don't forget to program in DVD nights and bubble baths though - rewards along the way. Because honey, you're worth it.
You can do it!! Rewards - give yourself lots of rewards!!
Thanks Kirsty
Thanks Mel
There will be rewards, oh yes :)
