Productivity hangover

Have you ever had one of those weeks where all the productivity of the past month just seems to catch up to you.

I'm having one of those weeks.

I've finished several projects that have been simmering on the back burner for months; helped mentor my son's Lego League team; carted the the kids to swimming lessons, T-ball, Spring Fling class; cleaned out the closets; planted a small garden; weeded the flower beds, twice; baked; organized our photos on the computer; planned a vacation; hunted for jobs; cleaned the house over and over; done many, many loads of laundry; and helped organize pajama reading night at my son's school. That's just a partial list.

I feel like I've accomplished a lot, and I have, yet there's still a ton to be done, and my body and soul are calling it quits and screaming for renewal. My head is pounding and I can't keep a clear thought.

I call it the productivity hangover.

Just like a night on the town, when you squeeze too much work into a small period of time, you're headed for a backlash. And, just like a hangover from a night out, sometimes it's worth it.

I think this calls for a girls' night out. Call it the hair-of-another-dog cure. I'm pretty sure it'll be worth it.
