Running on fumes.

So I'm overworked... I work something like 14 hours a day, come home run around like mad to work on the new house and crash for some 4-5 hours before doing it again. Weekends I mentor some high school kids and work on cars. There's also an evening partying once in a while, people having kids, people going away, getting married, etc. And I'll go back into work early on Monday sore and broken.

But it's times like this I truly feel alive and when the insanity stops and I have a day to myself I feel like the world has just stopped. The sheer volume of silence, white silence. Eternity... until a cat comes by and whispers a beg for food.

I am running on empty too; I had a long workweek, and had an exciting weekend with my senior high youth group. I can't wait till my next day off! although, the retreat this weekend (although it was tiring!) HAS revitalized me, and I am actually looking foward to work tomorrow; Amazing what a weekend hanging out with awesome kids, leaders, and worship band will do to refresh the mind and spirit! Now...I'm off to bed!!!

Hopefully you get some down times during the holidays Get some rest. Don't run yourself too much, you might get sick or experience burn out.

All I can say is don't go to work for yourself.....it only gets worse, lol! From the way our calander is looking at the moment, my husband and I will probably be working a lot of 18 hour split shifts so that someone is here cooking and getting things ready 24/7........matter of fact, he started work at midnight Friday night and I came on at 6this morning, he left at nine pm, and I'm still here, will be until he rests some and comest back to finish up and deliver while I go home and rest a bit.......six weeks....six loooooong weeks, lol!
