I was out shopping for a doll.

Everything is exhausting me lately. To include my own brain and the words that sometimes tumble out of my mouth. I want to either curl up and hibernate or go on vacation. I'm excited for Thanksgiving - I can't wait to hang out with my family and hopefully get a respite from all the "to do's" clouding up my mind. I feel like I'm tip-toeing everywhere, because I'm afraid to be called out again (and again and again) for things that aren't premeditated. They just happen, and I'm trying so hard. I am happy - just exhausted.

  3. I'm exhausted too. Really, really exhausted. And not in a "wow, I've done so much incredible stuff!" type of way.

  7. I hate that feeling - it usually takes me a couple of weeks at a low activity level to recoup from them while working full time, but it is possible! = )

    And if any of this is wedding related, my advice is to clam up some. I found that when we were planning the wedding, when we gave everyone a lot of information about our ideas as we were tossing them around that was always where we had family conflicts.

    Being able to say "XYZ is happening" and then just leave that and let them get used to it can be a really good thing when you need peace, even if it seems exclusive.

  8. yes, you need some family rest time.

    I've been having this feeling lately where I all of a sudden stop what I am doing (usually something ridiculously stressful for work) and just think "... why am I not curled up on a couch right now? things could be so much simpler."

    anyways, you sound weary and I hope you can recharge soon :)

  9. kyla bea - thank you for your sound advice. it doesn't really have to do with the wedding, just the amount of things clouding up my brain. :)
