the jelly donut analogy

Sometimes you just feel like you're coming apart at the seams.

 

Its funny, but I feel as if my life is like… um… a jelly donut , or a tube of toothpaste. When I apply pressure in one area, there is always a little bit of goodness that squishes out of the end. Maybe holding sand would have been a better analogy, but whatever.

 

The past few weeks I've just felt spread THIN! And it isn't for lack of trying, and it isn't like things are out of control, there is just os much to do! I had to finish up the grad school semester (I got all A's, and I'm hoping I can keep my 4.0 until I graduate in August.), and finishing up the school year for my students. I'm anxious about starting my summer field experience and taking my last class, and I have to start getting ready for my Spain presentation.

 

And on top of all that, I'm trying to train for that 10k… I really want to perform well and run strong. That is my goal.

 

Anyway, I've just been feeling a little bit overwhelmed, but not really… because there are other areas of my life that seem to be blossoming at the same time!

 

For example,  my heart feels like it could EXPLODE with all the love I have for my husband. I feel so happy and lucky to have him in my life. I also have a wonderful job, and great friends. I've been getting ready for the trip of a LIFETIME to Spain where I'll finally see Lola in person…

 

There is so much good, and so much that is work, but it seems like I really should be able to manage it all. I feel like I've grown and changed so much in the past year, hell, even the last 6 months. I feel like I'm right on the cusp of everything just clicking into place and being at least a little bit more simple.

 

Anyway, I'd like to get back on the blogging wagon, because frankly, I think I need the outlet right now. So, there you have it.
