I've Hit A Wall

I’ve hit a wall. I have never been this ready for a break, ever. Spring break is just around the corner. Only four more days of work and then I will have a much needed 10 days off. I don’t ever remember needing a break so desperately. I’m exhausted and feel like I can no longer keep afloat. To make matters worse of trying to get through this very tough last four days, I’m fighting a sore throat and my inner left ear hurts too. Hopefully it’s not an ear infection. 

I think my body has finally come to it’s breaking point. I’ve been going nonstop for what feels like seven months straight. Yes, I had Fall Break and Winter Break, but those two breaks were not very relaxing for me. Fall Break was spent designing and making two transformer costumes and Winter Break we packed up our home of seven years and moved. I still haven’t finished unpacking the new house. My office and portions of our master bedroom are still packed in boxes, while the backyard is a disaster area where we’ve thrown all of our moving boxes saving them for a giant fort I promised to build the boys. 

Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy my new job and our new home. I just haven’t had a moment to myself to reenergize and actually enjoy them both. I’m sorry if I sound like I’m venting. I probably am. I need to vent. I need to relax. Today for the first time since I started my new job, I took a nap. I used to be a daily napper and the only reason I took it today was because I was feeling so terrible and extremely cold, all I could do was lay down. Then I felt bad for not getting everything done that I wanted to, today. Luckily my husband could see how horrible I was feeling and stepped up his game, by helping out with all the laundry. If he hadn’t done that I would have most certainly been crying right now.

Frankly this blog sucks, but I wrote it for the sake of being consistent. My apologies, it will be better next week. It certainly can’t get much worse.
