i'm overwhelmed.

there, i said it. that should make me feel better, right? getting it off my chest? whatever. it doesn't. i'm overwhelmed at school, at home, and everywhere in between. i feel guilty even admitting it. that i am not some super girlfriend, superteacher, super fake stepmom, super domestic goddess.

i have everything in place to feel wonderful about my life and all i can feel is like i am drowning in trying to do it all and still be me. not crash at 9pm or feel claustrophobic about my life or resentful about having a plate so full.

i have everything i've been wanting; why can't i carry the load?
