You guys, I am liter-ally DROWING in life over here.
I mean, it’s like, ba-na-na’s.
And you know what happens when life get’s crrrrazy?
Um….the blog life takes a backseat.
I know, I know.
I kinda suck.
But, dang it if I can’t master time management!!!!
Someone needs to teach me
b-cuz,
I am THE WORST.
I think the hardest part is that I work from home most of the time,
and when there are kids whining and crying and yelling,
“MOM! I’m ready to be wiped!!!!”
It’s kinda hard to stay focused.
And then when I finally do sit down to work,
your blogs lure me away from the tasks at hand.
Annnnnd maybe Forever 21.com as well.
Keepin’ it real.
And then there’s the emails…
woah the emails.
I think in my inbox I have, um, 170+ that I need to go through.
I know, I know…
I’m kind of important.
People know me.
It’s a blessing and a curse I tell ya.
Anyway, these days though…
I gotta stay focused.
Because I got some BIG stuff going on,
and with the possibility of fostering coming soon,
I definitely need to get caught up before he gets here.
And because I want ya’ll
(so wish I was southern….which reminds me, I have a joke to vlog one day! remind me.)
to take sympathy* on me,
let me just run down that list for ya.
*Sympathy cards and gifts are, of course, always welcome!
Okay, here’s what I have going on:
~ Personal Assistant
Part time I work from home for a business owner on little projects here and there.
~ Interior Designer
I’m helping to decorate a commercial office interior.
And I’m not talking a little office space.
I’m talking BIG office building!
I LOVE a challenge though, so I’m all over it.
~ Art director
I’m working on a short film being made,
getting to do all the costumes and help with set design.
The film is being shot the first week of April…
so I gotta get moving.
~ Event Coordinator
And then I’m working on revamping the marketing for HurryDate so my events will be PACKED.
This dang economy is messing with my mad marketing skills,
and now I just gotta get like,
MAD creative all up in here.
Shoooot foooooos.
~ Home Manager
And then you have being a mom, wife, and trying to keep up on dishes and laundry.
Who am I kidding?
I don’t keep up.
In fact, what is this laundry and dishes some of you speak of?
~ Writer/Blogger
And of course, we have le blog.
Which I love and adore, and I need to find SOME time for,
or I may just die.
And actually, as of late,
I’ve been writing and scheduling posts for the week ahead,
because daily posting just ain’t gonna happen.
Not if you want me to brush my teeth, I mean.
Oh. My. Word.
Seriously?
Are you feeling the badness for me at this exact moment in time?
I know, I know….
Don’t you want to send gifts and cards?
So, hopefully you’ll forgive in the next week-ish,
as I may not be THE BEST I’ve ever been at responding to emails and comments.
But, as soon as I attack this “mad lady what did I take on list,”
I will be back in Full Force.
FF in effect.
And then your blog stats better just watch their backs,
because I will bust them up so high,
they won’t even know what hit them.
Awwwww yeeeeahhhh.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Repeat.
You’ve got this, woman! Wrap life around your little finger the best you know how & the blog world will be waiting right where you left it once you’ve got it under control! (I just had the urge to say “you go girl” and I fought it. You’re welcome.)
Totally understand girl – life can just get crazy!
Busy woman! I admire that about you, Summer. Good luck with your to-do list. I’ll miss, but that just means I’ll be OVERJOYED when you return!
P.S. When you get a chance… how about a career design Q&A? Sounds like you have a lot of great projects going on that keep you busy, bring in the $$ and are flexible enough for you to work from home/take care of your kids, etc. I’m curious!
You sound like me. Except all of my busy is in my head. And not in actual real life 🙂 Have a margarita on me 🙂
Overwhelming to say the least. Sometimes we need a moment to relax and take a break. You’ll get back into it! A nice massage, hot bubble bath and wine should do the trick. It’s funny because all my daughter yells is, “Mom” “I’m DONE”…like I wanna wipe ass all day!
Lemon Shots coming your way:)
Holy jeepers, Summer! I had no idea you had all that outside stuff going on – dang! It all seems to suit you perfectly, though, and they seem like such fun and interesting opportunities. And give yourself a break with the blog stuff. I’ve been posting way less on mine, and while there are definitely times I wish I could write more for the therapeutic value, I love not feeling guilty about it anymore. I just do it when I can. And my loyal readers are still there when I come back, just like yours will always be. Hang in there and don’t forget about YOU in all this busyness, girl!
oh lady go take a nap and do your thing! we’ll be here when the dust settles! thanks again for posting yesterday…you’re the best 🙂 love you lady!
Exactly. same with me.
wow, you are one busy woman! I must say your post today had me laughing! The “mom I am ready to be wiped” is so true and funny! It is about blanace…it is a juggling game and you can do it…just be sure that you don’t lose sight of what is important! Have a great day! Hugs
Wow, you really are tackling a lot of things right now! That’s a whole lot of craziness!! But you seem very capable of doing it!
Yikes, that is a TON!
I admire your drive! Keep on keepin busy. Hopefully the economy will look up and we will all be sittin prettier. Best of luck with all the projects!!!
Hang in there…and I agree..BREATHE 🙂
dayyummm gina…and I thought I was busy! And of course you’re already forgiven, even though you didnt need to be 🙂
That is A LOT. You just made me want to take xanax. LOL
Yowza, my head be spinning from that post of yours!
Busy busy bee. Do not worry, you know we’re always, always here.
And whenever you make it over to Los Angeles, I’ll have a nice big cocktail waiting for you.
Just take a deep breath, take one thing at a time and know that we will be here and love you!
I don’t think there is an empty day on my calendar in March. C.R.A.Z.Y. I hate it. My blog is starting to take a backseat too. I hate that as well. Good luck to ya’. Just make sure you tell us as soon as that little boy is in your home!
(I’m from TX and I say y’all in almost every sentence I speak.) 😀
Um yes! We will gladly take the backseat and be waiting for when you have the time to come around!! Take care of yo business girlie!
girl, you have WAY too much on your plate! i work 3 days/week and i feel like my head is going to explode! take a vacation!
You are super woman lady. And you inspire me. I can juggle those balls too. Thanks!
Visiting from SITS..
I’m exhausted just reading about all you have going on – you are SuperWoman! And you have a sense of humor too – which I’m guessing you must need to get through the day!
Wow you’re a busy lady! I’m sure it’ll slow down soon-hang in there!
