two steps forward.

one step back.

Last week at this time I was feeling on top of everything. Work, home, volunteering, exercising and the rest.

Today I’m feeling like I am barely staying afloat. I want to do some fun things with the kids during their spring break, but hardly see how I can get through the days myself. Really a boring Spring Break for them (not like last year’s trip to Greece and Amsterdam), but the girls insist that they appreciate the downtime, and I will try not to feel to guilty for not doing more with them.

I don’t know what happened. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been feeling under the weather. Perhaps is it the ridiculous levels of pollen are draining my energy, giving me aches, making me miserable.

At least I can console myself with knowing that even with my struggle this week, overall I’m ahead of where I was a year ago. And I’ll find my stride again soon.

And now, back to work. At 6pm. Just so I don’t fall further behind.
