I have just come back from a writing conference today and am so tired that my eyes are bugging out of my head! But I couldn't go to bed without acknowledging this fast approaching, life-altering deadline! With my to-do list (that is over 2 pages long) MIA, tomorrow is set to be a busy day …

Dodging the curveballs
Do you ever find that you desperately wish for a calm and easy week and get pounded with the week from hell where the universe conspires against you? Yup, that's me this week! It's the last week of work for both Corey and I which makes it just under 3 weeks before we head off!! …
Blurred vision
I'm sitting here watching the screen blur before my eyes. That would probably be because I was up at 5am, at my desk by 5.20am, no coffee all day (because cafes aren't open at 5.15am and I had no time to stop!!!), left my desk by 6.20pm, home (via the drive through #motheroftheyear) by 6.45pm, …
Mid-week fail
I feel like all I ever do lately is gripe about how busy I am or how overwhelmed I'm feeling. But that's life at the moment! Today was manic and aside from a couple of meetings it was heads down and bums up to get some shit done! So it was close to six before …

Stop the rollercoaster
Lacklustre. Dull. Sad. Hurt. Tired. Teary, Hopeful. Bright. Cheery. Lacklustre. If I could draw those words as a circle, I'd do so to highlight the cycle of emotions that I'm experiencing. Rollercoaster is an apt description. And that's just in one day. I'm not sure if this is the dreaded Post-Conference-Downer or not, although I …
Recharging
I read this post of Anna DeStefano today and it sums up my headspace completely, well the Soul Tired bit. It's been a huge month and in particular a huge week. So I'm going to have a crack at her suggestion of not forcing anything and just being for a bit to recharge the batteries. …
A question of loyalty
Have you ever gotten to this point in your life? What did you do next?
