I’m having a bad day, in fact, today is a really poo day.

I feel like having a little cry, not 100% sure why, it’s a mixture of small things but fused together, they are a bubbling melting pot of moments waiting to erupt.

I’m usually – I hope – a pretty positive girlie and generally just adoring my job and loving life. Not today!

I did the school run this morning – stunning autumn sunshine but would chill you to the bone – and walked back talking to myself, trying to audibly reason out my angst.

It didn’t work.

I should now be writing three posts which are due to go live by Monday (to be fair,we are only at Thursday – I always hit my deadlines but they are long posts!) do three loads of washing, get out and do the food shop and clear out the garage as we can’t get into it to get the kids bikes out….but instead I felt I needed to just stop and write down my feelings and try to compartmentalize the issues because otherwise its all going to come tumbling down, big time!

First off, the keyboard on my laptop needs re-aligned. I type a word and two letters in, it types a totally different one. Which means it takes me three times as long to write a post as it should. Can you imagine how frustrating this is??????

Solution:

Google someone within a 100 mile radius who can take my BFF apart and put it together properly. Preferably situated near a Starbucks and a TKMaxx for ease of waiting time.

Next, I was supposed to go to London today and attend three events that I was crazy desperado to go to but had no one to do the school runs from two different villages, then feed the family then look after my youngest and put him to bed while the hubby takes the eldest to footie.

Solution:

Cancel attending events, feel very resentful…oh no wait, I tried that already and it didn’t work. Alternative solution: Get over it and plan for the next one.

Third issue, is lack of sleep. Just can’t seem to nail this one as not enough hours in the day already and need to keep going, otherwise the workload gets bigger and bigger…. thus exacerbating the initial problem. Then wake up feeling like poo and starting the cycle all over again… I probably shouldn’t have had that large glass of red wine to ‘help me de-stress’ last night as having a banging headache today isn’t helping at all….

Solution: 

Don’t take on any more collaborations until I’m up to date with current projects and have a clear space. And try not to worry that people will forget me in that small window of time. Are you kidding me? When one blogger falls there are a hundred waiting in line to fill her Louboutins…. #bloggerparanoia

Finally, how am I going to achieve writing three posts today, editing two videos for You Tube, overhauling my media kit and sorting out a bunch of paperwork and emails and wondering where that damned buzzing is coming from.

Solution:

Finish writing this post without worrying about people’s reactions to it, get some fly spray, stop reading about why Mark Zuckerberg had £3bn wiped off his net worth in 20 minutes on MSN news, make a cuppa, grab a family sized Galaxy Caramel, accept that it’s ok not to be ok…and in the words of my gorgeous friend Vicki …. #Crackon……

Do you struggle with the juggle? How do you handle it when things are just piling on top of you? Let’s share the load!
