As I was driving into town today, I was pondering my blog post from last night.  Specifically, I wondered why I felt guilty for being overwhelmed.  And then it came to me - it's because if I were more organized and more together, I wouldn't be overwhelmed.  So then it is MY FAULT that I'm overwhelmed, because if I were just better, I wouldn't be.

I don't agree with these statements.  I think being overwhelmed is a function of having four children under the age of six.  No matter how organized I am, I still couldn't account for all the variables they can come up with.  And being overwhelmed is also about not having time for myself, time to accomplish some of my goals.  So at the end of the day, no matter how much I've gotten done, there's always other things I should have also somehow gotten done.  It's not possible.

I'm going to try to let go of the guilt now.
