Busy Women

Why is it that women are always so busy? Always moving, never stopping, never stop thinking, always promising this or that and often over extending themselves? WHY? I think men can BE busy but not in the same way. They might have something to DO or lined up but its never the kind of busy where everything is in succession one after the other. WHY? Is it that I'm an overachiever? Is it that I'm trying to mask something else? Don't want to give myself any down time because the tears come at the first thought or memory? I don't know. I only work an average of 25-30 hours a week. My time is so full. SO full. On weeks where I work extra and I'm not home M Tues or Weds, on Thursday I feel so very overwhelmed like I've just worked 90 hours and I have to catch up with my life, the house, Noah, dinners, whatever is coming up on the weekend. I know, I know, it isn't really bad. I'm not complaining about our life, well, maybe just a little, but not really, maybe I'm more venting about how it never stops. If that's complaining, let me not try to cover that up. It's probably plainer than the nose on my face. Ivan said to me the other day, "it could always be worse" and he listed off plenty of ways and reasons it could be and it made me chuckle because he's so dang level headed. Drives me nuts. Just once, let me go off on my tangent and see where it takes me. Not around here, no wallowing in one's self pity around here, that's for sure. He's a wonderful husband and pick me up. I am so grateful for his friendship and love. Ever grateful. He keeps me on the ground.

Back to the matter at hand...I got it.....Maybe that's why I have been wanting to take a nap, it's all coming together now....I'm too busy and I need a good nap or two. Then I'll be able to enjoy the rooster and the lake more often and that will make me a happier person. There you go. I've got it all figured out. It's all about that damn rooster. I'm gonna cocka doodle his doo.

..........Yeah.
