Where did summer go?

I can't believe that summer vacation is just about over! My oldest daughter, who is going into 2nd grade, has to start school in 10 short days. There is still so much I wanted to be able to do with her this summer. Go to the park, the pool, on walks. The weather has been too cold lately to go to the pool...It's friggin August! Why is it only 70 degrees outside? We haven't been to the park once this summer. AAAARRRGGGHH! The laundry is piling up beyond control (it's mostly clean, just not folded and put away) and my hubby is really resenting me right now. He doesn't understand how I can "be home all day" and not keep the house clean. Well, I'd like to see him do it. It's not that I don't like a clean house. In fact, I have a very difficult time relaxing if my house is a mess, though, somehow I am getting by. I can't sleep though. I've had a very difficult time getting to sleep lately. For example, it's past midnight right now and everyone in the house is asleep, except for me. Not for lack of trying though. I lay there, beat, exhausted, sleepy as usual (only having gotten a total of about 8 hours sleep the last 2 nights combined) I just can't fall off into dreamland. What's wrong with me? Stress, I suppose. What have I to be stressed about? Oh, let me count the ways. I don't have the energy or time to list them, however. But there's stuff. Lots of stuff! Well, it's off to try once again to go to sleep. I'm sure once I finally get there, the baby will wake up ready for his middle of the night feeding...This is my life.

You're not alone. I've got so much on my plate, sometimes I can't see straight. Ya gotta set aside time for mental health. Maybe a trip to visit G-Blog will make you feel better.
