Treading Water

By on October 4, 2009 in TFS Blog Tour, The Familiar Stranger

I had the most fabulous weekend with friends at the Duck game and can’t wait to find the time to upload the pictures.

And really, that’s what this post is about … my feeling of treading water. Of never getting ahead on the bill-paying and school papers. So much is going on right now that the only time I can relax is when I get away to do something fun. Then I return to the house that stays messy unless I work up the energy to a) clean it myself or b) have the kids help clean.

The sub days are wonderful money-wise and real-world-stimulation-wise, but they wreak havoc on my house and writing schedule.

And today we head to court for a very important day. Please, pray for us and God’s will to be clear to all involved.

The blog tour continues!

    I’ll be praying for you today. 🙂 I can understand feeling stressed about a messy house, I’m a tiny bit of a cleanaholic, but if you can let go of that feeling, do. A clean house is desirable, but way less important than anything else. So don’t feel guilty or overwhelmed by the mess. If possible. LOL

    Hi Christina –

    If I concentrate on writing, keeping up with everything else becomes a herculean task. I’m still amazed at how all the moms of young kids can manage their schedules.

    You deserve a medal.

    Blessings,
    Susan 🙂

    Unfortunately our house is on the market and we’re going to drop the price again, which means I HAVE to maintain a certain level of clean.

    Susan, is there a medal for messiest house? 😉

    hey christina. i think i already emailed you this, but I wanted to let you know about my blog address change. *sigh* If you’re following me, my posts now won’t show up in your feed, dashboard, sidebar, whatever. So please forgive me, but you’ll have to change the address for my main writing blog, Where Romance Meets Therapy, to http://jeanniecampbell.blogspot.com. To do this, you have to “unfollow” me and follow me again. Sorry for the confusion!

    I was going back through and gathering comments for the Oct giveaway and noticed the link wasn’t up! What in the world? Anyway, it’s been rectified now. 😀
