Fully Spent

Things have been crazy around here. Trying to get ready for school has me in this almost bizarre state. The past 3 weeks I have written at least 40 co-op lesson plans for 5 different grade levels (that's real easy), planned & organized a supply list for 51 children of over $500 worth of art supplies, spent hours talking to other moms about them joining co-op (and figuring out how we could possibly squeeze in just ONE MORE family), and helped with a million other details regarding schedule, classrooms, etc. I have met with the pastor, met with the coordinator, and moderated about a bazillion emails. My brain is still spinning and somewhere in all of that we planned, organized, and started our own school & cleaning schedule on the 15th. Prior to that, every day was filled with what only God can remember. I feel like my brain has been crunched a million times. "Are we having fun yet?" keeps ringing in my mind.

We have attended countless birthday parties this month. The kids had two today. I really lost count. Praise the Lord sometime in the spring I had purchased about $100 worth of gifts for only $20. Still they have not all been appropriate, so we have spent countless hours at the mall or where ever purchasing Webkinz.

Between co-op, school, pre-marital counseling, small group, budgeting, and running I am spent. And I feel like the worst daughter ever. I haven't seen my parents at all since the beginning of summer. I haven't even seen any family since then. I feel out of touch...not right somehow. And I keep messing up. Everything I do feels like a mess up. It's one of those times in your life when you feel like you can never do anything right. I feel stressed and just want to relax. I cannot possibly juggle all of these balls I have picked up. And I so desperately want to open the acrobat trunk, drop the balls in, and walk away. And then I hear God say, "Don't lose heart. Take My yoke upon you for My burden is easy; My burden is light." If I could just figure out how to unstrap the one I'm carrying around.

Do you know I've had a library book OVERDUE for over a month. OVERDUE. That means I've had it for 6 weeks! I might as well buy the stupid thing.
