We try so hard, and we do accomplish a good chunk of things that we should be happy with but we're not, because it wasn't "everything" or it wasn't "enough." Sigh.

It's not until we lived in NYC, I gave birth to #3, we spent our Christmas doing everything for everyone else, and my first possibly book contract fell through that I learned that lesson. It seriously took about six months to bounce back from the burn out, and though I may be capable of handling more than I did at that point, I never push past that beeping red light in my head. You have to know the threshold.

I'm trying to teach myself which things I can let go of, at least for a time, so that I can focus on the things that are really important.
