Not just that, I mean, I am not SOOO overwhelmed with blogging, I mean really, it's not a huge deal... I just WANT to blog about those things. But, work has been stressful, the boys are always busy little bees, the everyday housework, projects that are always in the back of my mind, our family reunion (which starts tomorrow night), my cub-scout projects, my FHE lessons for Relief Society, blah blah blah. I mean, I know I can go on and on. It's dumb really. I am sure some of you read this and think I am pathetic because you have a lot more going on. I guess I just get in little ruts when I feel overwhelmed and frustrated and then I start to feel inadequate and the cycle goes on and on. You know? Anyway, I just had to vent for a second...

OVERWHELMED
I have so much to blog about but it seems like we have so much going on!! Ahhh! I decided to read blogs while I am waiting for my whites to be done washing so I can put them in the dryer before I go to bed. I hate when I go for several days because I miss out on so much on other people's blogs. Then, I have tons to blog about: Kimball lost his first tooth, our trip to Jackson, my friend had a baby, some more smack about our burger competition, swimming at my mom's (rather the boys swimming at my mom's...SO COLD), etc. etc.

So I was just clicking away looking at peoples blogs and I came across yours! I was so happy... Even though school hasn't been out that long.. I still miss the kids.. I just laughed so hard about Kimball and the kid knees... He could always make any day better with all the funny things he can come with!
Hey, I pobably have less then you to do and I'm overwelhmed!
Everybodies different.
Love your new layout!! You do such a good job with it! Summer days seem to fly by, you kind of wonder where the time goes. Don't feel bad.
Somedays the list does go on and on and on... On those days I try to take 5 minutes to just do nothing and think and focus. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Hopefully it works for you today :)
Oh, I think that's part of being an LDS women-a recent study found that LDS women are the most stressed people in the world. We all feel like that sometimes, but it helps me to know that I'm not alone and I don't have to be perfect...yet! You are an awesome Mom, wife, friend, sister, leader, etc, etc...you do an incredible job with everything you set out to do-don't be hard on yourself.
Wow, Kristen! You sound a lot like me, sometimes! You are doing such a great job with all that is on your plate! I love the bits and pieces and experiences you have shared on your blog about you, Josh, and the boys. Your blog is so inspirational and beautiful! And I love posts like the one you just did, because it's how I feel a lot of the time, I just don't have the guts to write it! Hope your family reunion is a wonderful one!
Hi Kristen, I love your blog. Your boys are getting so big! Its nice to know that I am not the only one that gets overwhelmed or feels inadequate... I have to give myself pep talks all the time that I can't do it all, but it is still stressfull.
