exhausted

This is me lately.  If I'm being honest I dread the Fall .  It is the most hectic time of year for me.

You can look at the family calendar at the end of this post and understand why.

Lately in a given week I:

do about a dozen loads of laundry

plan/cook/shop/clean 21 meals

drive approximately 500 miles back and forth between cheer practice, football, tumbling, games, institute, church, and the store

attend two institute classes

do the reading for said institute classes

almost 8 hours of carpool

go to the grocery store/Costco three times

clean the house approximately 6 hours

coach 4 hours of cheer

push through about an hour of paperwork a day

toss in a visiting teaching appointment or two into the mix

plan a family home evening lesson

work with Tanner on finishing up his Eagle

work with Brady on cub scouts

work with McKinley on Personal Progress

pull weeds

work on my calling atleast 12 hours, on average and attend atleast two meetings for it

water all the flowers

pay all the bills

go to the temple

have lunch with friends

run about 12 hours of errands

and exercise 6 hours.

I can't imagine why I feel so tired and worn out at the end of every day lately.

Ironically, I am not a gal that prides herself on being super busy.  I actually try to avoid feeling over committed.  But somehow I have miscalculated and this time of year always seems to knock me for a loop.

Six more weeks until football season is over and things will slow down significantly.  

This Momma is kind of looking forward to it.

Until then, I will try to enjoy these awesome people that I live with.
