Sweating the small stuff....



....and it's all small.

Do you ever have a day that seems to just bombard you with little things that feel monumentous? Today is a bit like that for me. It's not one thing or even two, it's all the the little things added up probably all week long and today....well, today I'm combusting.

First of all, I tend to look at my house as if I were a potential buyer... (a practice that really needs to come to a swift death) because #1, it's NOT on the market, and #2, I see every little thing that needs to be fixed, cleaned, changed and re-arranged. That alone can overwhelm even the most sane of people. (of which I don't seem to be....)

I also seem to be really busy all of a sudden. With school activities, PTA Reflections work, homework, kid's sport activities, work, a new small group, and oh yeah, trying to be an attentive mom to an 18 month old and a caring wife, (ha.....that last one is laughable.) I'm feeling the squeeze. It usually turns out though that the busier I am, the more I actually get done. That's a funny phenomenon. Right now though, the LITTLE things like the house stuff is feeling huge. I just took a hot shower with pounds of Comet and I am hoping and praying that my insides won't turn to green goo. But the non-toxic stuff just doesn't work sometimes. And there is something therapeutic about using toxic chemicals to scrub away the grime...metaphorically speaking.

So, here I sit...soaking wet, processing the inner ramblings of my mind and needing a "come to Jesus" moment....or ten.

  1. Nothin' is better than COMET. Well, I guess somethings but really, nothing works better than that.
