Busy, Busy & More Busy


Lately, with my new work hours I have been non stop busy. I thought once the holidays were over that things would settle down and I'd slowly get into a new routine. Uh... I was wrong. 

I feel like I'm an old grandma. I fall asleep by 10pm, get up at 5am for work and then proceed to work the day away until I come home at 6pm. Then I maybe get through all of my email, a little google reading and then the cycle starts all over again. 

I'm hoping that I can start getting in a better routine soon. I need to make my priorities and keep them there. Yesterday, all I could do was keep saying this quote over and over in my head....

    I know exactly what you mean! I thought that post-holidays, things would slow down, but they are just as busy. Hang in there!!

    I know the feeling lady. I just got a job where I work evenings into the night and I have no idea how I'm going to stay awake, lol.

    I'm in the same slump as you. I don't even have time to get some wedding tasks done ... all I do is work, sleep, eat...

    I hope you can get into a routine! I know how you feel, I honestly haven't had a good routine this week AT ALL, and it does wear on you! I hope the upcoming days and weeks are tons better :-)

    I've been feeling the same way myself! Tonight I decided to do absolutely nothing other than watch a few movies and have some time to myself. Hopefully life will slow down a bit for you:)

    That would so be my prayer tonight. I wish I could fly far away for a few days and just leave it all behind.

    I know that feeling. I've been trying to get back to my normal routine, but it just feels like it will never happen. *Sigh* One day things will be normal again :)
