You know it\u2019s a rough day when first thing in the morning you\njump on an early call at home that runs longer than expected so you go racing\nout the door and make the 15 minute drive to your office because you are now 10\nminutes late to meet with the folks that have flown across the country to meet\nwith you today, only to then arrive at the your office and find out that the\nfolks that flew in had thought the meeting was at your house so you discover\nthat you drove right past each other and you are at the office and they are sitting\nin front of your house wondering why you aren\u2019t there\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that was how my day today began…and if I\u2019m honest it\nonly got worse from there\u2026 I already had\na massive backlog of things I needed to get done from all that had piled up over\nthe holiday break for me to do so knowing that I was already feeling stressed out,\nbut then as I had to be in back to back meetings all day in which I could see\nthat my phone kept vibrating like crazy with new incoming texts, and incoming calls\nI couldn\u2019t answer, and alerts of loads of email hitting my inbox\u2026.let\u2019s just\nsay my stress level from already bad to downright ridiculous\u2026then when my\nhusband texted me around 5pm when I trying to wrap up a different meeting that\nhad also ran long in order to let me know his parents from Idaho had just\narrived at our home to stay with us for a few days so they want to be here to celebrate\nmy husband\u2019s birthday with him later this week, and I realized that I\u2019d completely\nforgotten to get groceries to be able to feed them and I\u2019d left the house in a\nmess this morning and I still hadn\u2019t been able to handle a single email or text\nor call back that I needed to, and holy cow I still need to plan something for\nmy husband\u2019s birthday party this week and figure out how I\u2019d find time to pickup\nhis cake and still make some dinner reservations for it and get a blog written tonight\nwhen I was already late to get home to feed my in-laws dinner with the\nnon-existent food in my fridge and I still had one more call scheduled I needed\nto jump on and I had an extended family member in crisis who desperately needed\nme to respond to their texts tonight\u2026\u2026It was like AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know, sometimes just yelling AARGGHHH out loud in a room by yourself can be incredibly therapeutic… And some days its about the only thing you can do when you are stretched to your very limit\u2026 that, and just admitting to yourself that you\u2019ve done all you can today, so everything you didn\u2019t get to yet is going to have to wait until tomorrow when you will once again do your best to try and get to it, but if not, then it will have to wait until the day after that\u2026because we can only do what we can\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
