I can't breathe

...do you ever feel like that? Like you just can't get enough oxygen in? Not so much in a literal sense I suppose, but more like your chest feels so heavy with obligations and the worry of life that you can't breathe?

That's how I feel today. It isn't as fun to write or think about days like this...I would much rather blog about a wonderful new outfit I found online, or something cute Emma said (she did say something really cute a few minutes ago...she asked me if I knew where her daddy was!). But I feel like I'm in one of those moments where everything going on in my life has converged at one moment...there's just more on my plate than one person can handle.

I'm tired, but not the tired that can be fixed from taking a nap or sleeping in. The tired that can only be fixed by crossing a few things off your to-do list and going on a great vacation. The only problem is that there isn't a vacation in sight and for everything that I cross off my list another 2 things are added.

I don't want this to become a huge complain-fest...I am a truly blessed woman. I'm just having one of those days where life doesn't FEEL all that great. I know that all things are just for a season and that this day too shall pass. AND I am so grateful for a God who loves me in spite of my weaknesses and allows me enough grace to live out my days. I just need to breathe...

Hi Andrea! You just made me some diaper bag tags from your etsy shop (which I recieved today and LOVE LOVE LOVE!!) I'm so glad I came across your store and blog! I know the feeling you blogged about today. Motherhood does that to me sometimes! Ok often. But you're totally right and I praise God he loves us in spite of our failings... Thanks again for your work! I look forward to shopping again and I loved your jars of candy for Christmas by the way! I want those in my home but I'd eat them all day! :) Blessings!
