I am beginning to feel the end of year stress creeping in. This is the time of year when I work extra long hours (I think people don't realize I work 8 hours a day, so think about that when I say I work longer hours). I have done this before with kids. I have done this before being pregnant. But I have never done this with kids, being pregnant, and being YW president. We have so much coming up in YW - combined activities, dances, Temple Walk, Young Women in Excellence, class presidency training, etc. It's a lot. I am sure the rest of the presidency is sick of all the emails I send, but it's got to be done.
On top of that, Jeremy has a few business trips this month. I am also supposed to go to New Orleans at some point, but every time I try to figure out when that will be there is either some church meeting or activity, doctors appointments for me, Jeremy is out of town, etc.
Then, on top of ALL of that there is just the normal busy stuff that every family has this time of year- fall carnivals, costume shopping, Trunk-or-Treats, pumpkin patches, etc. I actually think this stuff stresses me out more than anything. Not the actual doing of the activities, but trying to figure out when they will get done. I love holidays and want to pack as much stuff in as possible, and then feel guilty if the girls miss out on something.
I didn't get anything accomplished this weekend, aside from cooking. That is one of the things I love about conference (aside from the obvious). No ward council, no BYC, no staying after to collect trash from the bathrooms, NO 1-4 CHURCH THAT TAKES UP THE ENTIRE DAY (Can you tell I'm ready for January when we get to switch back to 9-12?). I actually cooked breakfast, lunch, AND dinner yesterday. I am sure I gained a ton of weight doing that, but it sure was good! Baked cinnamon roll French toast for breakfast, spinach (I forgot the artichokes) fondue for lunch, and a cheesy turkey stroganoff for dinner.
I know in the end I will survive. I just need to get my stress-vent out before I scream.
