on my mind monday: when will i catch up?

oh. my. goodness.

i have this wonderful list of topics i want to address in this new weekly series.  bill cosby. robin williams. internet trolls. bar/bat mitzvah planning. so much i want to discuss, but my mind is so crowded with all the stuff i need to get done.

i was sick the week of january 12th.  i picked up something in NYC i guess because my throat was scratchy on the way home.  then i developed a fever.  long story short, i ended up in urgent care and was diagnosed with a virus.  i had a high fever for a couple of days and missed a lot of work.  since then, i have been trying to catch up on work and other parts of my life that fell behind during that week.  there aren't enough hours in the day.

i have so much paperwork to complete for work.  it's never ending. i have events to plan.  shopping to do for these events. budgets to do.  2014 paperwork to wrap up and mail to headquarters.  not to mention, the day-to-day after school program to run.  i need to recruit more volunteers to help with my programs.  there is so much that needs to be done that i can't even list it all.

oh, and i'm looking for a new job because this one doesn't pay enough.  so in between all the above, i'm searching for jobs and applying for them.  i'm trying to write cover letters and get everything together so i can find work to support us.  because when i don't make enough money, all that is on my mind is the question, "how will we survive?"  (see maslow's hierarchy of needs) when you're worried about where your next meal will come from, it's difficult to focus on all the other tasks that need to be done.

is anyone else overwhelmed with life right now? things are work stressful?  what's on your mind?
