How to go from swamped to sane

I am responsible for processing the magazines at my branch. I will usually go through to pull out any of the subscription cards and the freebie things. My title is one of the headlines on the O magazine.

That's me... swamped not sane. At least for right this moment. I think it is mainly a work slippage. I have been so busy this summer. We just finished our summer reading program and it rocked. The kids kept track of their minutes read and they read over 25000 minutes this summer. Even though B and I took a break around July, I think we need another. It is just so difficult with such a small staff to find a day that works. Right now August 27th is the only day in the two weeks with nothing on it.

I took a mentoring course yesterday. I am excited and just a wee bit nervous. But I think it will end of being a good experience. This blog reminds me that I can be asleep and still talking. LOl Something B has pointed out about me. It is wicked early for me (7:00 am). I just woke up. No alarm or anything.

I feel like the meanest nicest person. I can't tell if it's hormones or staff or the people we deal with. I just don't feel like me. It'll pass but it doesn't mean I have to like it while it is going on. I just have high expectations and expect a lot of myself.

Right now, I expect I should get up and get ready for work. Oh golly goodness, I do need a break. It has just been a busy couple of months. With a lot of changes. I think I'll take the 27th : )

Good day and gimme a break!
