In lots of ways.<\/p>\n<p>While I was sick, it dawned on me how much <em>stuff<\/em>\u00a0I do <em>have<\/em>\u00a0to do. \u00a0And how much I do because I want to (twitter), and how much stuff I do because I need to or feel obligated. \u00a0(Lots of this).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder I&#8217;m worn out&#8230;I think a lot of us are worn out any more because we try to cram so much into a day, and on top of the work stuff, there is the other stuff. This other stuff, for me, is the most important.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the mom stuff, the wife stuff, stuff that I wouldn&#8217;t trade for anything.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just the other stuff that I do&#8230;the stuff I don&#8217;t have to do that&#8217;s wearing me down. And I wonder why I collapse and all but hit the deck every time I get sick.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to cut back on some of the <em>stuff<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll still be blogging, but I may not be around as much as twitter or facebook. <em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But if you don&#8217;t see me as much, it&#8217;s because my body and brain finally caught up with me and made me realize I need to slow down and stop pushing so much on myself, plus cut back a little even on the stuff I like doing. \u00a0It will free up the time I need for the the stuff I <em>have<\/em>\u00a0to do and leave some time for relaxing, so hopefully I don&#8217;t drop like this again.<\/p>\n<p>Now&#8230; some pictures&#8230; (yay!
