Itch.


I think it's the changing of the seasons.....
The onslaught of what is to come with winter...
The short days with minimal sunshine....

No, I'm not talking about my skin itching.

I'm referring to this need/want for a change in my life.  I get this "feeling" every year around this time and I'm not sure why or what it means.  In that last 24 hours I have gone from:  seriously considering starting up a self employment business to having another child (and Kirby just passed out after reading that) to thinking about how to convince Kirby about getting a dog to researching what new washing machine we should buy to re-siding our house.    

My mind is going circles these days...more than usual.

Does anyone else get this way?  What is it and how can I make it go away? 

So, to stop reckless actions........I choose to focus on the kids, the upcoming holidays and how to get all this chocolate out of my house without anyone really noticing or missing it.

Maybe if I just rub chocolate on my skin, the itch will go away.  :)

me too! It seems like just when things are going well, I get the itch for some sort of change!

It sounds to me like you need a Mom's weekend away...when I manage to get away for a few days, I recharge my batteries and the need for change seems to subside.

Here, here, I too get that sick feeling in my stomach this time of the year and I have about a 1,000 different thoughts going on. Especially these last 5 years or so I've thought how nice it would be to be able to leave MN during the winter months. Vanessa and I are working on our plan and someday soon hope to be able to do just that.
