The title of this blog suits me well, yet I wear the exhaustion
with as much pride as I can muster. I honestly cannot remember the last time I
truly felt "rested". Although in this day and age there are few who
actually are. I have 5 kiddos (ages 19, 16, 13, 8, and 6), my youngest being on the spectrum of ASD (old Aspergers label). I am married to my high school sweetheart and have been married over 20 years.
I love learning and if someone would pay me to go to school as a career, I would do it. Instead I try and rack up as much continuing education I can throughout the year for my therapy license(s) and certifications. I have way more than what is required for this renewal. I am a private practice therapist and a CEO/Founder/Consultant at Puzzle Collaborative.
One thing about myself is I am a true introvert. No really, Myers Briggs (INFJ) tells me I am on the extreme end of introversion. With that I get overstimulated being around lots of people, especially if it is for an extended period. In those cases I need "me" time. Naps are heavenly, but to be able to escape to my room and just turn off everything but my mind is sometimes all that keeps me sane. So you mix all that together and add a little chocolate and running and you have the perfect recipe for exhaustion. Apparently many women know this recipe well.
