Weekly Report # 27

We had an extremely busy week. Between Girl Scout cookies, work, and sports I wasn't sure we were going to make it through this one!

I was also dealing with a little bit of "burn out" for lack of a better word. I was just tired and feeling like I didn't have any fresh ideas or energy to execute them. I was also adjusting to my new schedule- hitting the gym at 5 am. Once I get used to this new routine I am sure things will be back to normal. We made it through though and are looking forward to a more productive week next week!

Burn-out is normal for everyone at this time of year. Don't worry too much. :)
