Breathe, Sweetheart

It's the feeling you get when you've got too much caffeine in your system, stayed up five hours later than you normally do and sleep in an awkward position to wake up hungry, with a headache, makeup still on, morning breath, and an obnoxious feeling in your gut because you have to work the weekend away and you just know that you're not going to write that paper, go Christmas shopping, get the sleep you need or work on your college application... it's that feeling. And it happens every. single. weekend. You live each day just trying to make it to the next, and live each week just trying to make it to the weekend... then repeat.
I don't know if this happens to everyone, but sometimes I forget to breathe. I know that's typically not supposed to happen, but it does, and it reminds me of the fact that we need to take things step by step. If you don't  breathe, what are you going to get done? It sounds kind of dumb, but really, small steps. Walk before you run, breathe before you talk.. yeah? yeah. That kind of thing..
So.. now that that's out of the way, i'm going back to bed... sleep before you work.
And don't forget to breathe. Just breathe, sweetheart. Everything is going to be just fine.
