Just Plain Swamped!

I'm so convinced that I am eating more than I should've bitten off....because I can't chew it all!! I am a parent first, so my family takes precedent over everything else I have going on! I have joined so many networks to aid in advertising my blog and now I am buried in information! HELP!

I just feel like I am Writing just to keep my blog alive, because my passion does not seem...well, as passionate! lol Aside from my children urging me to create ideas for them to be in business. Many of my close friends believe that because I have more than one business degree...I should be rolling in dough! Where'd they get that from??

I'm so impressed with my Google + following (747 as of a few minutes ago 😉😉) and try to +1 all of the posts of followers who +1'd my posts, and regularly adding members to my network. The trick with G+...go to the 'people' tab and add members who have a certain number in common. For me with such a following members need at least 80 people in common with me before they're added. Seems to be working! 😊😊

Am I embarrassed often...too embarrassed to ask for help...YES! I just have so much going on in my life right now. My 14 year old has returned home..though she's been gone almost a year...lets suffice it to say it was better for HER health NOT to live at home. I have to be moved soon (10/01/16), kids start school next month...actually in a few weeks, money I saved for my move in will now have to go toward school clothes! Whew!

I'm looking into buying a distressed property to help with financial independence, my long -time (8 years) love is pressuring me about marriage. (I'm the chicken...he wanted to marry me when we met!), I'm still working from my IPad, I'm starting to feel bad about not interacting as much here at WA because I have received so much wonderful support. I truly appreciate you all! Please forgive me if you haven't heard from me in a while!

We need WA meet and greets! Just a chance to get to know one another better, and I believe it could help in growing the community. As you see from this post my thoughts are all over the place....which doesn't make for good business! Thanks so much for listening, loves! Even though you may not understand what you just read! Lol

Hey there!!
I feel your pain!! I am so busy with my full-time job that I haven't been keeping up with much on the WA side, but I at least try to get comments over to the people needing help with their websites. Hoping soon I can make it my part-time job, but until then I am like you!!
Hang in there,
Kathy

Thanks, Kathy. Glad to know I'm not alone! :)

First things first...stop and take a deep breath. Then let it out. It appears that you could really give yourself a much needed break. After we pray we have to put our faith into practice. If you truly believe that things will all be worked out then they will all be worked out. I would suggest that after you breathe in and then exhale, and give yourself a much-needed break then take a pen and piece of paper and make a list of all of the things on your plate. draw a line down the middle of the page. On the left side at the top title it Urgent tasks on the right side title it moderate tasks.Then prioritize the items in each list by deadlines and begin slowly striking them off, keeping in mind that the items on the moderate (or whatever you decide to call it) will wait and you won't allow guilt to impact your decision to get to them when you have completed the urgent (or whatever you decide to call it) list. Just my feeble attempt to help a friend!

Thanks, Greer. It's actually an excellent idea. I do have quite a lot to accomplish and I know I can do it. Sometimes my anxiety gets the best of me and I freeze up. Thanks so much for caring, love! :)

Sometimes life just gets in the way - 'the best laid plans of mice and men...'! All the very best to you Audra and feel free to PM if you ever want a private rant!! :)

Thanks so much, love. You've also been such a tremendous help to me. If I've never said it before, I appreciate you! I may have to take you up on that 'private rant' offer! :)

I totally understand. Information overload. Just step back whenever you can and take a much deserved break. It's ok to. Plus, it's the summer and it's time to decompress.

I know everything will be OK with you bith personally and professionally cause you'll make it happen. Just don't burn out.

You can do it!!!

Hi, Liz. I get so frustrated. I've already seen myself successful in many dreams. I know what I want to do will help many and I am still not planning to be rich. I wouldn't feel good knowing others are hungry and/or homeless! Don't know about your faith, but I pray a lot for guidance, I thank God for people like you who help me stay focused and "talk me off the ledge' when needed. I just want to be a person remembered for caring for mankind, because I do! Appreciate you, Love! :)

And you are! Keep up the positivity and it'll all fall into place ;-) xx

Hi, Brian. Let's just say, I'm past ready for school to start. Lol Not easy running a home business when your kids want/need all of your attention. My best friend lives in Georgia and her kids started yesterday! Happy day for most of us! :)
