Keeping Perspective

Sometimes when you are in the midst of a challenge...well all the time for me...it is hard for me to keep a reasonable perspective on the situation. I always put too much pressure on my self to get it all right and end up very overwhelmed, exhausted and frustrated. We moved our office this week and it was definitely a challenging couple of days and I also think I am a bit hormonally imbalanced...if you know what I mean ladies! I went in yesterday morning and almost started crying immediately...that's the hormones..ha! But unpacking all those boxes and organizing three previous rooms into one seemed like a lofty goal. Plus I couldn't find a baby sitter for Charlie and he had to come with me. Well, after a 7 hour moving day with me Tuesday he was a little out of sorts come Wednesday. He just really wanted to be held and he couldn't sleep with all the banging around. I just felt like I was moving but standing still at the same time. Progress was hard to realize and on top of it all I found out I had forwarded all of our mail, phone and Internet to our next door neighbors address. It was an honest mistake but dealing with it nearly broke my spirit all together. I couldn't stop the tears at that point and just wanted to go home. I fixed what I could and got some equipment functioning as much as possible and went home to indulge in some chocolate and a grilled cheese with a coke zero on the side. Charlie went down for a long nap and I was able to unwind a bit before Brian came home. With a good nights sleep behind me(Charlie went to bed at 8 and hasn't moved since...its now 7am) YEAH, and a hug from my hubby I am feeling much better. I was also reminded of the holiday weekend coming up and I was thrilled! In the end God is still in control and I need to let go sometimes.
