Survival!!!

After another week of over-work and no sleep I am starting to wonder if survival is possible. Many times in my life I have felt like I am barely keeping my head above water, but I think this experience tops them all. I don't even have a chance for my head to be above water. I am lucky if my nose is high enough to still breath every so often. It is getting quite ridiculous and I'm not sure what to do about it. I thought that the first couple of weeks was just because I happened to have things going on in the evenings that filled my week and that would not be consistent. But I have since found that it just gets worse. Every week I seem to have something going on EVERY evening...unless I choose to be completely anti-social and inactive (which for my sanity I can't do). It is a catch 22 because I need the social for my sanity but I also need some "me time" for my sanity and sleep could definitely be helpful as well.

One of the hardest parts for me is that I feel like my seminary students are getting jipped because I can't put in what I should to prepare my lessons AND I have the hardest time getting up at 5am every morning so I am not my best self in class. Really I am not able to do my best work at anything and that is a struggle for me. I have tried over and over to come up with a solution to this but I am at a loss. I need to be rescued! Does anyone out there have a lifeguard saving tube with a rope tied to it that they can throw out to me and help me get out of this mess? I'm slowly drowning. HELP!!

OK so I don't have a life tube with a rope for you... but straws work, then the water can get way over your head and you can keep going on faith and hope. You can do this Kara! Let the prayers carry you, I love you, and in Heavenly Father's time things will happen in His will!

Hang in there! I know you can do it. I agree with Rebbecca - straws work...:)
