Now that summer's over, I actually thought I would have a moment to relax before the big holiday season takes over my nights and weekends. I was wrong.
Not one, but 2 parties at my house this month. Not one, but 3 baby's on the way in need of celebration. This month. Not one but 2 kid parties. This month. Not to mention brainstorming and creating a Halloween costume that can stradle the line between mom-sexy and sleezy. And losing those pesky 5 pounds that snuck on my body post bikini season. No doubt to be back by January 1st, but maintenance required nonetheless. Finally finalized a tattoo design to be inked by November 1st - intended to dodge the insane financial hemmorage come the month of December. I haven't even scheduled a trip to the pumpkin patch yet! And we're off for another 3-day getawaay to the ocean. Whew!
Is this normal? Is this what it's like to be a fully functioning family role in society? It's not relaxing. Fun, yes. But relaxing? I actually have to schedule a bath and a time to unwind. Is this too much for the kids to take? Am I setting a bar that will be impossible to satisfy for years to come?
My head hurts. Am I overthinking this?
No, you most definitely are not overthinking it all. I was just taking a look at our calendar and thought to myself, "How did the days fill up so quickly?". Not to mention, I get to work about 16 days this month so I can make some $$$ for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteBTW~ just stand by me during the Halloween celebrations. I'm thinking I should just go as a big ol' pumpkin (unless you have a better idea).
Okay, I should really do a better job at rereading before publishing. I meant to say, ...overthinking it "at" all.
