Sometimes I get so excited about new opportunities in my life, that I’m always hungry for more, instead of being full with what I have.

I stepped away from my blog this last month because I was so completely overwhelmed with the things I have to operate on a daily basis but looking back at it instead of managing what overwhelmed me I just continued to take on even more. In fact, just this week I decided I was going to weigh the option of going back to school and getting my masters degree. (Hungry for more) WOW! Brandy! SLOW DOWN! I see a calendar in front of me and I immediately start loading it up with appointments and meetings and filling out daily task lists that I know I can’t possibly get done.

This past month I have attempted to juggle potty training a boy who really doesn’t care, listing and selling our house, moving our home into storage with limited time, preparing to move into our parents home (totally another story in itself), wedding planning (we are down to less than six months), vacation planning, scentsy business growth and team development, finishing school, building plans for our future home, and whatever weekly obligations I have set as well.

It’s insane really and by the end of the week I’ve skipped the gym, eaten whatever is in front of my face, rescheduled over half of the appointments, and failed miserably at potty training. I definitely bit off more than I can chew.

I am trying to sort through my thoughts as I write this blog post which now looks just as jumbled as my daily life BUT, it is what it is. I always think, if I can just start fresh on Monday I will be fine and then Monday comes around and once again I’m filling up my calendar with things I can’t fulfill but I’m super mom and I want to do it all.

I want to plan the wedding, build the house, raise my kids, grow and run my business, make plans with friends, help someone in need, join in church activities, take care of myself and my family, meal prep, workout for hours a day, enjoy the little things, and finish school.

I think it’s so important that we don’t go through challenges alone but rather speak openly about the chaos and difficulties in our lives. Thankfully I have some amazing friends and family who have been so willing to help with the kids, packing, or just listening to me cry in the line at the coffee shop because I’m 20 minutes late and they are taking too long.

But tell me, how does one do it all, and do it well? … Still trying to figure that one out but I can tell you that self care is a must and this upcoming week I’ll be fitting in my gym routine, my meals, and a massage to recoup from all this madness.
