I think I bit off more than I can chew. I’m doing this Slice of Life Challenge while taking another course at work while teaching another course at work. I’m a bit overwhelmed since this is all happening outside of my actual job.
I started crying as I vented to my husband. Of course he doesn’t want to see me sad, so he said, “Why don’t you drop the Mindset Course or the Slice of Life Challenge?”
I looked at him like he was crazy. “Drop one of them?? I can’t drop one of them! I’m in it, now. I’m already in,” I said, appalled at the suggestion.
He looked at me. I looked at him.
Our conversation reminded me of this video, and I chuckled
It’s not about the nail.

….All of my sweaters are snagged. L.O.L. Too darned funny!!!! Don’t you just hate it when people try to help you fix your problems??? Come on Jerome!!! That video – that video.,
I love that video! I appreciate your dedication!! 😄
Ha! I forgot about that commercial. Too funny.
On a “serious” note, this too shall pass. Hang in there!
That was a good laugh! Hang in there!
Thanks for the laugh this morning! It’s hard to juggle many things at once, but somehow it all works out. You will work it out, too, I’m sure.
Okay, that was hilarious! Great way to start my morning. Thanks for sharing the video. Totally needed that.
I didn’t get the video on my email, but I enjoyed the post nonetheless. It’s the classic dilemma of the overachiever. We want to do it all, but it does take a toll. You’ll learn to pace yourself as time goes on.
If you get to a computer, you’ll have to watch it. It really is so funny!
Over the years I have learned that when my wife cries for no apparent reason (my view of things) it is best if I just say nothing but hod her until it passes. She is then OK and sorts things out for herself. Thanks for the smile.
Hahaha. That video perfect! I need to show Steve this to help the next time I go on about taking on too much. 🙂
That’s great! Did you at any time think–“he just doesn’t get it”?
That’s funny! And true…
Dana! We so appreciate all you do here at Edgewood and all over the district! My husband usually gets the brunt of all my stress too and never understands my underlying point!!
Oh my goodness! I am dying!! What a great video. I will have to show this to my husband. Sometimes we just need someone to listen! Thanks for this, Dana!!
Love the video! You cracked me up!
😂😂😂 The video is so spot on. That conversation has happened many times with my hubs and I. This past few weeks has definitely felt overwhelming. Just a few more days until spring break!
OMG, that video is amazing!! I tell my husband all the time that I don’t need him to fix me, just listen, lol!!! I wish I could just pull the nail out though!
You are so dedicated. I hope you can find a way to fit it all in without too much stress. Or let yourself off the hook. I know that’s hard because I’m the same way. But sometimes it’s necessary.
I laughed so hard at that video–my husband looked at me like I had lost it! Thanks for sharing!
This video is perfect! I’m so much the same way–balancing two kids, classes, teaching after school PD, this challenge…I wouldn’t change one bit, but it certainly makes life a little crazy sometimes! 😀
I know exactly what that video is about … I remember it from years ago. I love it. And you are right, it’s not about the nail. Hang in there and do what you can!
THIS IS SO REAL! Hilarious!
