for people who do too much (a.k.a. me)

it's been an enlightening weekend. punkin went to stay with her grandparents, so captain crotch and i were as free as birds! so what did i do? catch up on movie watching? read uninterrupted? go out and party? no, no and no. i worked. i cleaned the house. i worked some more. i had been hunched over the computer for so long, by last night my upper back was sore! i did go out to lunch with a friend and also went to the book store, where i handed her a book called "for people who do too much" and told her to give it to her over-worked boss.

today she said she was saving the book for me.

she's right, you know. ever since i started working for myself, i have stopped making the time for the very things that keep me sane - exercise, prayer, relaxation. yes, i have fallen miserably short of my "resolution" goals already. but i didn't even know i was doing too much. i think i have forgotten how to take care of myself! which makes me a first-class hypocrite since i lecture most of my clients about this very thing.

i can't go on this way. i suspect that a portion of my "sinus headaches" are really caused by stress. i have been clenching my jaw so much that it is sore. i haven't stopped moving since 8:30 this morning. i had to make myself stop working around 8pm last night so my husband and i could enjoy a movie and some take-out. now, punkin is back and demanding attention. now, i can't sit back and read or watch movies with a stronger-than-g-rating. the time is gone, and i wasted it.
