There have been many times in my life where I have felt overwhelmed. This time is no different. What is different is the fact that this overwhelming feeling probably won't go away anytime soon...and this is why...
Not only am I the Ward Music Chair...yes, me...who has not a single musical bone in my entire body...but now I am also the Enrichment Counselor in the Relief Society Presidency. Wait it gets better...we have just released the Enrichment Leader and the entire board just 6 weeks before our big December activity.
(Can you hear my screams of panic??)
Oh and by the way I am teaching on Sunday!
So, aside from the fact that I feel completely clueless, I do have something to smile about. After 22 months of sheer exhaustion (for all parties involved), Isabella is finally sleeping through the night.
(Feel free to join me in a song of hallelujah!)
For those of you who are wondering why on earth it took us this long to get our daughter to sleep through the night...don't worry...I have read Baby Wise, I have let her cry it out (for up to three hours at a time), we have tried every idea any one person has ever offered to us. We have been to doctors, tried medications, and had our patience tested in ways I never thought possible, and have inevitably felt like a very mean mother. Bella just has an extremely strong will, something we pray will serve her well through her adolescence.

Wow! I would be a little overwhelmed too. But I'm sure you'll do a great job. And congrats on Bella sleeping through the night. Maybe she should call Hayden and let him in on her secret. LOL
I feel for you ! Im also serving on the RS presidency... Let me know if I can help you!!!!!
You will do great! You are good at everything you do. I wouldn't know what to do as music chair, good luck with that!
