When you don’t have a day in the week to just sit and rest and have nothing to do, you eventually hit burn out.  I’ve found that place.  Things just aren’t as fun right now.  I feel like I’m doing everything for everyone else.  I know I’m taking time for my things also but I just can’t find the enjoyment.  I go through the motions and that’s about it.  I was feeling really bad about it for awhile.  To some extent, I still am.  However, I’m working on finding those things I need to let go for a bit.  I think choir is gone for next year.  I rarely get to sing in the service anyway so what’s the point?!  I like the teaching so I think that will need to stay.  Tumbling will probably go.  Dance will pick up but I think I’m ok with that.  I enjoy being there and working.  I don’t enjoy having to take a 19 month old when my oldest decides not to babysit.  hhmmm, I’ll have to work on that part.  I am working on a childbirth educator certification so that will take some time.  So, maybe it’s not really that I’m giving things up but I’m redirecting my energies.  I still struggle with giving myself permission though.  I have this list of things I think others think I should do and I don’t want to disappoint them.  But, I wanna do what I wanna do.  Right now?  I wanna do those things I’m working on.  I don’t have much spare time and I have to slim things down a little.  It’s just that season of my life.
