Feeling a little overwhelmed...

I am beginning to feel a little overwhelmed. I have so many things coming up to work on that I sometimes don't know where to start. I love being busy...to an extent. I am loving my new job and I am looking forward to all of the fun things we are planning.

Here are a few things I am working on right now:

- Starting a new Sunday School class for Young Adults

- Opening another room up for a second nursery at church for babies

- Starting a Wednesday night program for the kids at church
- setting up the room
- finding the right curriculum
- setting up a Children's Choir
- making sure I have enough help

- 1st Annual Pumpkin Patch at our church
- I'm the co-coordinator
- finding volunteers
- planning fun things for Saturdays
- making sure we have everything we need
- and much much more

- Fall Festival at church

- Fall Festival at Luke's school
- I'm the co-coordinator on this too
- planning activities for each classroom
- getting donations
- and tons more stuff as we get closer

Sometimes I think I'm losing my mind. Just one year ago I had TOO much free-time with Emilee starting preschool, and I was beginning to volunteer some at Luke's school and get out of the house some. After being a full-time stay at home mom for almost 7 years I was ready for some adult interaction. I was having fun, and I wanted to help with everything. Now, 1 year later, I don't really have any free-time. I AM helping with everything. Plus, I've found a great friend who is just as involved as me at church...only she doesn't get paid.

I love being busy and feeling useful. I wouldn't trade this for the world! It's nice to be appreciated for things. Not that my family didn't appreciate me before...it's just different now.

It has beeen quite an adjustment with me having a job now. I only work at the office when the kids are in school. But sometimes it feels like I am working all of the time. Guy has really been wonderful! It took him a little adjusting time too, but he has really been a rock for me.

I couldn't do anything that I do without my family and a lot (A LOT) of prayer! I really am the luckiest girl in the world!
