The Cure for Overwhelm

Sometimes life plays hardball, throwing curve ball after curve ball until you’re one strike away from throwing in the towel. Other times life piles so much on the plate that you barely have time to scratch your nose. Whether good or bad, life’s activity list can leave a person a little overwhelmed.

Case in point:

Currently we are on tour with my husband’s music mission. This is a full-time gig, meaning our home is primarily a travel trailer parked somewhere in this great country of ours, and never more than a week in one place. Yes, by “we” I mean all nine of us and the 125-pound dog. It’s an adventure. (You can read about it here.)

The great thing about adventures is that they are adventurous. The not-quite-as-great-but-not-altogether-bad side of adventures is that they leave little time for other things.

Everyone’s life is an adventure from time to time, and everyone gets overwhelmed.

I recently wrote about how to handle life when you just can’t handle life over at The Humbled Homemaker. Give it a read.

Read When You Just Plain Can’t.

And thanks for understanding on those days when simplifying at The Simple Homemaker means it’s a little quiet here for a time.

NOTE: Posts aren’t much fun without pictures, and my camera died, so, while I have several posts written, they are waiting for me to save up for a new camera so I can add a little post bling. Thanks for your never-ending patience as I use old photos, stock shots, or totally unrelated pics just to give you something to look at, and as I hold off on my how-to posts for a time. You rock…but you knew that.
