Babblings at 4AM

Recently it seems that I have been spreading myself too thin. I feel that I am at a constant state of chaos and it is starting to take a toll. For example, I woke up at 2:30AM and have not been able to fall back asleep due to my mind going all over the place. It's now 4:30 so I decided to get up and basically start my day.

I have always been that "go to" girl in several areas in my life with work, friends and other random stuff and have always loved it. I love helping people, creating solutions and new paths for myself and getting things done or scratched off the list. I have always had trouble saying NO when others ask for assistance. I guess I just need to figure out how to balance everything and manage my time more efficiently but HOW!??

I have been at my current job for just over a year and recently have been questioning my happiness there.....the significance of touch changing the lives of others through my staff. I often question my ability as a leader to my therapists and front desk staff and how that effects the over all smooth operations of the massage clinic. I often wonder if I am at the right place since I have all these questions and rely on others performance to reflect my overall performance in my owners eyes. I guess I am questioning my decision on going to corporate massage.....it just seems like sales, numbers and appointments is constantly hovering over my head and that is not the reason I got into bodywork.....so do I really want to continue down this path or swim upstream against the current with the rest of the therapist out there.

I just wish there was more time in the day. More time for relaxing, family, training,etc. I surround myself with really ambitious people who seems to have every thing mapped out and organized and I wonder how do they do it? How do they work full time, train for hours a day, organize events and still make dinner for the family and not have their spouse feel neglected. Surely they are cloned or either have some sort of magic potion they are not sharing with me!

I guess that's it for now.....since I am up I can use this time to catch up on my friend's blogs:)

My quads hurt

So here i am....at work with a bit of time to recap my last weeks. I was sick.....really sick and unfortunately the worst of it fell on the day of Toddfest. Well, it went off without a hitch anyway. The bands rocked, Boomerz rules and everyone had a great time....especially Matthew who ripped his pants at the after hours party at our place while doing his version of the Thriller dance....I will post that to the blog once I get home.

I pretty much took it easy the rest of the week to recover enough for a long run on Saturday. Sat morning was an early one meeting with my group at 5:30 for a 16 miler. I can't believe that I actually finished. It was most likely the worst run of my life. it was slow, hot and I would have hacking fits every 5 miles or so. I probably should have not run but I was really glad that I did and that I finished despite how long it took. I pretty much decided on Saturday to never take another extreme amount of time off from training as I have over the past year.......it sucks getting back in the saddle.

So after my run I hit the gym to shower and went straight to work....BOO!!! but after work we headed down to Houston to catch the Candlebox show:) Let me just say.....WOWZA. The show was amazing, the sound was really nice at the venue. The Warehouse is downtown but the MinuteMaid park, which I have also not been to yet. The show was not sold out which made for plenty of room for the crowd and we were able to get fairly close to the stage. The opening band was really good too, which made for a really nice evening. The dinner and big ass $11 margaritas at Cyclone Anaya's didn't suck either.

Okay.....gotta answer the phone and get back to work.....OUT~~
