Yep. That's how I've been feeling lately. Plenty to do, but not an ounce of desire to get it done.
I've tried the self-medication route...you know - dark chocolate, coffee and Dr. Pepper. How's that working you ask? Not so much. We're getting the basics done in school, but not much more. Even my blogging has been completely uninspired. Not that you all run to your computers each morning to see what wisdom I have to dispense, but honestly I haven't even felt like writing. Unusual for me. I just feel...BLAH. I am thankful that despite how I feel, God doesn't change. He's the same yesterday, today and forever. Now that's something to smile about!
On a completely unrelated point, I cut the end of my finger off last night (pun intended). Yes I did. I'll spare you the gory details, but suffice it to say I should stay away from those fancy slicer dicer things. They slice very well. A little too well. I dare say they should only be used by a trained professional...or at least someone who takes the time to read the directions.
First off let me just say I am very sorry to hear about your poor finger.... :( I love kitchen gadgets, but some of them can really do damage!!! Hope it heals quickly!
About your blah feeling... I think sometimes with the changing of seasons, those blah feelings just hit. I struggle through times like that as well even though fall is my favorite time of the year! We can take comfort in knowing that God never changes though. He loves us the same as he did yesterday, as he does today, and will again tomorrow. Another thing we can take comfort in is that, besides God, nothing ever stays the same. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Bad feelings WILL give way to good feelings. A favorite song of mine has a phrase in it that says, "it didn't come to stay, it came to pass". What hope that is! Whatever we are going through right now, will pass.
Sorry about your finger. I have been feeling pretty blah lately myself. We have been busy getting more canning done and fitting school in here and there. I think we are headed back to a more normal routine:) I sliced my finger the first time I used the Pampered Chef ultimate slicer. Happens to the best of us. Miss you. The Co-op has been great and so far it hasn't been too much for me. The kids love it.
Despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loves us. -Romans 8:37.
Hang in there! The Lord will pull you through this rough spot. We all have them I think. I'll keep you in my prayers!
As for the uninspired feeling, I have had that for quite a while and have just been clinging to the Lord and trusting Him to carry me through.
So sorry about your finger. I did that once when I was making pickles and it took a while for my finger to heal. I have that same tool and rarely use it.
Praying for you,
Julie
Been there (more than once). Things that have helped me fight the blahs. Take a multivitamin(you never know, your body may be short something); spend time truly worshiping God; Cancel School and go explore some place with your kids for a day; Find a girl friend and go to coffee; Make a list of what you are thankful for and then praise God for those things; make a list of God's names and remember how great our God is.
Sometimes there are no easy fixes. Hang in there and keep us posted on how you are doing.
The daily, sometimes hourly, musings of a homeschooling mom of four surviving on prayer, friendship and lots of Starbucks. Some days my cup runs over and some days it all spills out the cracks...and I wouldn't have it any other way.
