Who me…overcommit?
Posted By: Lindsay
I am nervously posting my first, and THE first SOAR video blog. You should be expecting 1 of these a month from me and my two Soar partners from here on out. I think we are all a bit nervous about the endeavor so please bare with us as we figure the flow of this out.
I must first tell you that I am a bit sick. Me Ra asked that the video be two minutes, and of course my original video was 6 minutes. I spared you that and tried against my husbands wishes to narrow it down. In order to squash a brewing argument with my husband this video at 3 minutes and 23 seconds was the best I could do. I am a stickler for rules, but my husband constantly pushes me to skirt the boundaries in situations like this.
In my life of overcommitment I am constantly neglecting the needs of others and myself in order to complete my obligation. I frequently feel incompetent and it is all my own doing. I am working hard to complete my projects and take a well needed rest and focus on my children, husband, and Photography more. With fall fast approaching I feel a need to settle in and fluff my nest that I just worked so hard to create.
I hope that you are all able to find a sane place to rest and a place to sort out all of those commitments we have.
Shine On,
Lindsay
Seriously, laughing my behind off! You are too funny and I love Kyle’s nod at the end. Well done my dear. Thanks for keeping it SO real. I am wondering if there is by chance an ‘over-commiter’s anonomous group out there because you my friend need serious help
Only joking, but have you considered that this may be a form of procrastination? Just saying… btw I LOVE what you have got started – the wood and all and know it will be amazing when it’s done! Love you xxx
You didn’t tell me we were gonna get to see the progress!!!! woo hooo!!! i have been so anxious!!!!
you are doing great–there’s SO much time before saturday
(linda’s giving it straight and i’m the enabler-uh oh!)
love you darlin’. wish i could help!!!
Excellent job, honey! I just wish there was some footage of the handsome videographer =)
Linds! I have to tell you that 15 minutes ago I was in tears b/c I feel like this book project is never going to end, and I watched your video and laughed so hard! You are SO GOING TO HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW! You were made for the camera girl! I’m so proud of you! That video was perfect! Love, love, love YOU!
Even with all you have to do still, you have a cute house.
It is going to be amazing when it is done.
And I too am cracking up at you – you removed the door knowing you had a party this weekend? Girl you sure are one go-getter!
HIlarious!! Everytime I need to clean up something I always need to clean up ten other things first before that ONE thing. So glad to know I’m NOT the only one inflicted!
The flooring looks amazing. You’re amazing and SO REAL. And where it that handsome videographer??? I’d watch you again anytime honey!
awesome. this is exactly what i do. can’t clean the kitchen without cleaning the fridge door and the crumbs in the toaster first. FIRST? yeah. so you can bet my kitchen never gets done! if only i could undercommit and then things would get done in baby steps.
and kyle, you ARE in there. way to sneak a cameo in the hallway mirror ;o)
Oh, Linsday. Thank you for making me feel better about the mess that my house always is.
Lindsay…you are too cute! Hope Kyle’s b-day party is a blast and everyone revels over the caulking job! Everything looks amazing…such a wonderful feeling to accomplish all those over commitments (one little project) or should I say 50 million BIG projects at a time!
Thanks for sharing your heart and home with all of us!
Lindsay this is GREAT! I just love your REAL-ness, and heaven knows we ALL feel like this some days!
Very well done!!! I feel like we are sisters! I remove kitchen walls to fit fridges in, and gut the basement so we can have a movie theater room.. hee hee Cant wait to see more videos…
Thank you all for the comments. They mean so much to me, and it is so nice to know that I am not alone!! Wait till I tell my husband!!
Wait a minute – Christine – you have a movie theater room and NO cable!!?!
LOL! That is hilarious! I got a bit overwhelmed for you while watching! Kyle! You were in the video! I saw you walking down the hall through the hallway mirror!!!
Oh my word that was funny! I love the way your daughter stood up for you. Warmed my heart. <3
I hope your party went well and nobody had to "hold it" in fear of no door on the bathroom.
This was hilarious! I can so relate to you Lindsay. On top of a job that eats up my life, I have a husband who is a contractor and not a single project is done since he does that all day and doesn’t want to do it when he gets home. I am starting to learn how to use power tools so I can get my studio done in my lifetime!
Your decorating colors are amazing! My logo colors are red, white and gray. I want to copy your room! Just love your taste and your humor. Keep smiling and everything will go your way!
I’d love an update on your finished home. ha ha
Haha!! Just an update, no one had to hold it there was actually a door and a lock on the door by go time. I think my husband almost left me the day before his birthday because I decided to do more than he thought I would. Oops. But it looked darn good!! With some amazing help from my family I think I pulled it off, and am glad to say I am still happily married, and most of the time my kids think I am a nice Mommy. Update will be coming…there are all the little details to finish and getting my website up and then…I will share with you all!! Thanks for all the support!!
I am so relating to this.
Know you are not alone in the endless list of to do’s and I for one appreciate how real everyone is on this forum/blog .
We can be creative valuable photographers and always have room for improvement in areas.
The cool thing is we are still loved and have worth and bring worth to others !
I hope the birthday party was a smashing success.
