Struggle, be gone!

Hey buddies,

I have found myself struggling for a week or so. I have had trouble staying on track and have not been working out. I know this is a tempory situation, but I have decided that I need to “nip it in the bud” before it becomes a serious issue.

I think part of the issue is that I’ve been really, really focused on my writing, which I absolutely love–but hubby just went from being a “contractor” to a “permanent employee” with his company. This is great news as he worked through a contracting company (he’s in IT) with terrible benefits for four years, and finally his company hired him directly. He got a raise and the benefits are A M A Z I N G–the only issue is that it means we’ll miss a paycheck at an inconvenient time financially (holidays and all). SO…I’ve been writing my butt off to try and make up for it.

That’s all good. But in focusing on this, I have failed to remember to take care of myself–especially since when I’m NOT writing, I’m taking care of the kids or the house.

So.

Now is the time to get it together. I need a kick in the hiney. Anyone?

Hope you are all having a fabulous day. I want to stress that I am not being negative here–just owning my struggle and figuring out how to get past it!

Thanks for reading…

Angie

    Don’t be silly you are not being negative at all and I hope no one thinks you are, and if they do, well, they are sadly mistaken!!

    I know what you’re going through because that has been my life since Thanksgiving, but the good news is we are AWARE and are WILLING and WANTING to nip things in the bud and keep moving forward! I am always an e-mail away, you know that! So hit a girl up whenever you need to.

    And by the way, great job on the piece you wrote about Dr. Marc and Buddyslim!!

    I’m also at a lack of freetime… notice how long it took me to read this… so, if you’re still wanting that kick… K I C K… hehe, I liked it.

    You can always email me… I get to that a LOT sooner than through blogs, which I only get to read in fits and spurts.
