Losing my mind

Right now I'm so overwhelmed and stressed that I think my head could literally explode at any moment. If I were a Zebra this is what I would look like...

(Thank you to Ben at Doodler Blog...)

I have so much to do...at work and at home. You want to know what my list consists of? No? Awww, c'mon! It might help me relax a little. Maybe the written list won't seem as bad as the jumbled mess I keep "seeing" in my head. Yes? Yay! Thank you for saving me from insanity! :)

Here is my list...or what I can think of anyway:

  • Figure out this crazy account at work (it is literally a mess and not because of me)
  • Create the On Call Schedule for the linemen (it always ends up creating conflict)
  • Figure out the messed up inventory items (NEA might possibly have a gremlin that hides material...maybe the same one that hides my socks, hid a pair of my Spanx, and hid my passport)
  • Find my passport and Spanx.
  • Finish the bedroom switch (Pacen and I switched bedrooms so he could have more room. Maybe I'll find my missing items during the switch.)
  • Finish the quilt I just started for Pacen
  • Finish the cross-stitching project I started last year for a friend of mine who got married.
  • Remodel both bathrooms
  • Remodel the kitchen
  • Paint my new room so I'm not surrounded by bright primary colors
  • Smother Pacen with kisses because he is perfectly happy with the colors of his new room
  • Book our Mother/Son vacation to Atlantis!
  • Hurry and get my taxes done so I can pay for the vacation!
  • Find my passport so I can go to Atlantis!
  • Get Pacen a passport so he can go to Atlantis!
  • Deep clean my kitchen
  • Paint the outside of my house
  • Build the pergola in the backyard
  • Get Pacen's guitar lessons set up
  • Workout
  • Go to Missouri to see family
  • Take Pacen skiing before the season ends
  • Get my Christmas Tree off the front porch and take down the outdoor decor
  • Breathe
  • Get a haircut
  • Remodel the back stairs into a mud room
  • Fight the urge to break down in a crying fit
  • Relax
Wow! What a list! Okay, I must be honest. You just read all that for absolutely no reason. I say that because it did absolutely nothing to ward off my insanity! The list is as big a mess as I imagined it! To top it off I have to find time to complete all this between wrestling practices and tournaments, clogging, shooting sports, etc. I'm having a hard time fighting the urge to throw myself on the floor in a sobbing mess of tears and snot. *deep breathes* *In - out - in - out - innnnnnn - outttttttt* AGGGGGHHHH! Who am I kidding?! I can't fight it...I will end up crying before the day is out, but life will go on. Maybe now you understand why I haven't posted anything since November. (As if anyone really reads this.) Okay, well back to my crazy hectic life. Maybe I'll see you sooner rather than later.
