You know how you get overwhelmed beyond sanity sometimes? Surely I am not the only one…

My brain gets way too busy, and it kind of paralyzes me.

Trying to get back into the swing of things after the holidays has done that to me this year.

We had a great time in Ohio with David’s brother and extended family, including the ones that came up from Costa Rica, but this has been our first week trying to get back into a schedule and it feels like everywhere I look there are so many things that are wrong and screwed up in our lives. Physically, logistically, mentally, spiritually…

I have a good extra pound on my back, 2 on each of my thighs, and five on my stomach. Plus I have been battling this super lame monster acne crap from people touching my jaw line and neck. (Maverick loves to snuggle, particularly)

Our house had started getting organized and a little more minimalist, but with all the Christmas stuff that we brought back home it feels like we need to start all over again.

I could seriously go on forever… because so much is making me feel hopeless and powerless right now.

But I feel like I just need to bite the bullet and post something to get out of my posting slump. I have tons of things I want to write about, but when I’m like this my perfectionist tendencies come to the surface and paralyze me from action. So I am saying NO to those and pushing publish.

I’m going to leave you with this picture of my very beautiful daughter who is a total goober and took a bunch of super funny selfies earlier this year with her little camera – because she has managed to capture so well how I am feeling at this moment

How about you?
Have you recovered from the holidays yet???
