Stretched Thin

"When something is stretched too thin, it is unbearable or uncomfortable. Stretch too thin is also said of a person who tries to do many things at the same time and cannot give enough time or attention to any of them"--Thank you Urban Dictionary

I am stretched way too thin! Currently I am working 2 jobs, performing as the lead in a musical next week, and trying to get married. Mike sees me a total of 30 minutes today. He is picking me up from my second job, bringing dinner, and we will talk and eat while we drive to rehearsal. I'm pretty sick of the schedule right now. Don't get me wrong--I love all the things I am involved in individually, but they are hard to handle all at once. As my good friend the dictionary said--"not giving enough time or attention to any of them".

A metaphor of my life right now

I imagine it's kind of like a chicken running around with its' head cut off. Sure, it is making progress-I mean it is moving. But it has no direction, it is purposeless even though it is trying its hardest. I am that chicken. I need to cut something out of my life--and I would prefer it not be Mike:) He has been so wonderful through all of this. Helping me find subs for work, telling me I sound great on my Music Man songs, and rubbing my feet after an 11 hour work day. Seriously, he is an angel sent from above! These next two weeks will be insane. I hope I can take a step back and remember the most important things in life. Between the madness-Mike and I have still found time for each other. Here is a collection of some of the things we have been doing!--Life is good:)
