In a Funk
You know what I hate??
Ugh. It is such an energy sucker. I have been in a funk all week. I can't put my finger on one culprit, I just know that I lost my edge... and when I lose my edge these things happen:
Maybe its the stress of the holiday season. Or maybe it's that my allergies are driving me crazy. Maybe it is that I haven't been getting great sleep... or my hormones are haywire. (TMI).
Whatever the reason, I was in a horrible, no good, very bad FUNK this week.
I am happy to say that I see the light at the end of the tunnel. But it took some work to get here. I missed a couple mornings of spending time in the Word, so I started there. I prayed and read and got some answers. Then I made a plan for today. Like always, I made my to-do lists... (the ones I made earlier this week but didn't stick to) but today, I mapped out my time management so that I could get everything checked off. I knew that in doing this, it would almost re-boot my funk.
I think it is working. I am still struggling with a lingering cough from my allergy flare up last weekend, so I am not sure how sleep will go tonight.. but I do know that I checked a lot of things off my list today and even accomplished a few that weren't on my list and that makes me feel put back together.
You know what else? I am not perfect. I still have loads of laundry that didn't make it all the way through. (I will call them my laundry POWs... they keep getting stuck in the washing machine... needing to be restarted... a few times haha) I still have some writing to do this weekend. But it's ok. Because I am not perfect. No one is. No matter how well we seem to have everything put together, there will always be casualties of domestic stay at home mom warfare!
Do you ever get in a funk? What do you do to get out of it? I really thought at a point this week, that this is what I was going to be like for the rest of my life (dramatic, I know)... but it's like when you are horribly sick, you wonder if you will ever feel normal again. No? Am I the only one that has a crazy mommy brain like that?
So.... NO MORE FUNK! I am going to have a better hour, a better day, a better weekend... all leading up to my kids last week of school before Christmas break (then the insanity can begin).
Stay tuned, I promise I will have a good post in a few days to make up for this whiny one!
Have a great weekend all!

Being in a FUNK.
Ugh. It is such an energy sucker. I have been in a funk all week. I can't put my finger on one culprit, I just know that I lost my edge... and when I lose my edge these things happen:
- Feel foggy and disconnected
- Make bad food choices
- Miss workouts
- Feel tired and cranky
- Become extremely forgetful (above and beyond regular mommy brain)
- Yell at my kids/husband/friends/neighbors/squirrels in my yard
- The. List. Goes. On.
Maybe its the stress of the holiday season. Or maybe it's that my allergies are driving me crazy. Maybe it is that I haven't been getting great sleep... or my hormones are haywire. (TMI).
