Overwhelmed

I have been feeling very overwhelmed lately. And no, I do not feel that it is just the wedding though maybe I am just not seeing it.

I get home from work any time between 5:45 and 6:15. I have emails to read and send (this is mostly due to the wedding), blogs posts to read, have to make dinner, shower since I work out twice a day, and still hang out with Brian.

I do get everything done but Brian has been spending a lot of time playing his games as the first hour and a half I am home I am dealing with emails. He tries to talk to me and all I can manage is "huh? hold on....trying to get this done" and then later have no clue what he was trying to tell me. After I get done with the emails I start dinner. Dishes has been lacking this week and Brian has now only started to do them after they were literally falling out of the sink and off the counter. I wish he could help more with the dishes...all he does is play games after work. (If I weren't doing emails he would be hanging with me)

While dinner is cooking/after we have eaten I try to catch up on my blogs. This is fun and I enjoy reading them all and refuse to stop but by the time I am finished it is about 8:30 and Brian and I still haven't had much time together. We have about time for one tv show and then it is time to go to bed. It is then when I actually get to grab a shower. Whatever I don't finish I do the next morning after I pack our lunches for the day.

Each day is like this.....never feeling like I have a moment and never feeling like I have accomplished anything. And if you know me...then you know I need to feel like I have accomplished something. I haven't even found a moment to take the nail polish off my hands from my manicure and it desperately needs to be taken off.

A fellow blogger posted about having a life planner...where she writes down what she needs to do each day, what she needs to do that month/year, a place with her grocery list and menu, a place for the recipes she is using and other various things which I wouldn't need. It is something that just helps keep everything organized and something that I could check off each day and feel like I have done something. I might have to find something like that for me.

The weekends are busy but there is a bit more of a breather because I can check my email periodically so I don't have 40 emails to go through at the end of the day. I am enjoying what I am doing but just missing the downtime. It also doesn't help that I am pretty tired from the work day and working out twice a day on top of it.
