For the next few days, I’ll be giving sneak peeks at a little something that is coming soon. I am pretty excited about it, so we’ll see how it goes! I’ve gotten a lot of encouragement, and I couldn’t/wouldn’t have done it without many of YOU!
sneak peek:

I never ever EVER do self-portraits.
Just the thought of it makes me *shudder*
But I read Shutter Sisters almost daily, and they tagged all of their readers to do this …
How to play the game:
1. Sit down.
2. Take a picture of yourself right now. don’t primp, just snap one!
3. Upload it.
4. Tag 3 people to do the same.
That’s all!
I actually stood up because the lighting in my office is sparse – clearly, the downstairs bathroom lighting isn’t the best, but it’s all I had.
9:40pm’ish
still in workout clothes
makeup? what’s that?
you’re lucky i took a shower today
I’m too lazy and tired and pooped to find links to tag, so anyone who wants to do it, go. Now. And then post a comment with a link.

Thirty-one years ago today, there was a freak ice storm in Georgia. I know this because I was born on that day.
Thirty-one years later …
Totally cool, right?
I think of it as my birthday gift from God.

Thank you for the replies and thoughts and prayers. I am feeling much better today.
I really wish I wouldn’t get so overwhelmed, and I had a long talk with my mom this morning on what I can do to keep those feelings to a minimum. I can definitely do things to help with the pressure …
Today, I started using the Daily Docket from Simple Mom (Jen, I recently discovered this site and love it, as well!) — I know, it’s ANOTHER thing to download and print and possibly fail at using, but I told myself I’d try it for a week. It’s not a list of things that someone else tells me to do – it’s simply a planner of sorts that I fill out with what I think I can get accomplished in one day.
And if I don’t get everything marked off, that’s okay!
The first day has gone okay. There are several things on my general plan that haven’t gone according to plan, but my hour of email/web time turned into 2.5 hours of work time with a little email/web time thrown in.
But I just put Emma down for her nap, and if it’s anything like yesterday, I’ll be able to get about 2 hours of cleaning and non-computer work in as soon as I sign off here.
I’m also utilizing a few other things from the Simple Mom website:
She has loads of other tools for productivity and organization (including an amazing home management notebook that I do plan to have eventually … when I get caught up on everything else) so if you’re like me and feel like you’re floundering, check out her site and see if at least one of her ideas will help you!
Wow, I totally didn’t mean to turn this into a post all about Simple Mom, but there you go.
Finding peace is a very personal thing. Some people find it with running. Some with taking a hot bath with a glossy magazine. Some with getting a pedicure. Some with reading the Bible. Those are all ways that I find peace, and I’ve fallen behind on all of them. I need to remember what brings me peace and make time for that in my day.
