I was so tired last night after Blogopolis. The day was great, I learned some stuff, and my class went well…
But I was a little weepy when I got to the airport. Mum rang me and I burst in to tears. I couldn’t wait to get home.
My boys ran to me when I got off the plane. They were like little ducks all in a row. People smiled and laughed as they all jumped on me. I started to cry a little bit again.
I’m tired. Not like I-need-more-sleep-tired, but tired of something (and I don’t know what!).
I don’t know what it is. Some stuff set me off yesterday and I feel a little heavy hearted today.
You know how you are juggling all this stuff and trying so hard to get it to all land properly… and then it just doesn’t? Yeah, well I think that’s what I felt last night.
I need to re-group. I know though, that I am exactly where I need to be in my life. I am trying harder in life now, than I ever have before… I do believe it will all work out, but sometimes I think we all can get a little disillusioned… Yes? No?
Do you feel like that sometimes? Like, I am trying but where is it going??
Sorry about the soppy post today…
I’m going to spend the day with my family. Amie is coming over. We need to hang out…

Oh sweetheart….standing back watching you yesterday… you shone. You are all class. You know stuff!… and you were such a valuable contribution to the program. I spoke to people. You are loved. Loved. Smother yourself in family and friends… and breathe. I am so doing that Wagga road trip… even though I am scared of driving longer than one hour. A-M xx PS I said nice things about you on my bloggy today. xx
Katrina
Awww you always make me laugh! Loved your blog this morning – too kind!
Jodie - muddled up Mumma
I know that feeling well, when things just seem to be so much harder than you expected and two steps forward seems to require one step back. Thinking of you. X
Katrina
Thanks Jode, just having a bad week! I know you’ve been dealing with a lot more than me – you know I do value your support xo
Alison Gibbs
Hey there stop putting so much pressure on yourself. You are such a wonderful soul, you’re an inspiration. I’ve followed your journey since meeting you in blogland – and am proud to see what you’ve done over the years. Love to you & yours special lady
Katrina
Thanks Alison, you are such a wonderful support… X
Megan
Ive been there too. Rather than landing properly, it all lands on your head. Maybe you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by everything or maybe your subconscious is telling you to let something go? I hope your melancholy goes away soon. How lucky you are to have such an amazing family to turn to 🙂 xxx
Katrina
Probably… just having one of those weeks! Thanks for coming over and leaving a comment for me.X

Oh my gosh, we just laughed and laughed and laughed here at that one! You’re a classic. Best line ever! HAHA

I think we all feel that way sometimes. I have lately with 100 things going on at uni and trying to get a job, and preparing for my teaching interviews and just trying to get all this stuff done while wondering if its the right path for me and blah blah blah.
I took some time out to just stop relax and breathe yesterday and i am already feeling so much better today (and appreciating everything thats happening for me right now!)
🙂

Katrina
Thank you for your advice – I will be taking it easy today that’s for sure 🙂
Chris R
Oh Katrina, I too know the feeling. that sounds like me a lot of the time lately. Take some time, relax, nap, eat chocolate,cuddle your babies (best medicine ever) and look after yourself. Also a good cry does wonders, let it all out,
You are amazing, hope this week is much better
Chris xo
Katrina
Oh yes, a good cry makes a big difference!!
workingwomenaus
So much has happened for you in the last couple of months and there is more to come. Whilst it’s exciting and so deserved (recognition of your amazing hard work) it can also be overwhelming. I would have LOVED to see you speak yesterday and I can’t wait to meet you. I hope some time with family makes you smile again xxx
Katrina
Thanks Kim! can’t wait to catch up with you in a few weeks!
Katerina
Well I loved what you did yesterday and learnt so much (especially how wrong my site is) but I knew that. Your advice was brilliant and I know it helped a lot of us new bloggers, so, Thank You and have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
Katrina
Aww thank you so much for coming to my class… hope I helped just a little bit. X
Sharnel Dollar
I totally get where you are coming from. Sometimes you just need a big cry and to surround yourself with people that make you feel safe.
Michelle Hayward
So get where you are at. This was me a few months ago…it all fell into place…is STILL falling into place, with a few cracks in the cement I have to keep jumping…I’ve decided this is what life is like. It’s an uphill battle with a little sweetness thrown in, it’s not all hearts and flowers, it’s not all misery…but there are probably slighter more tough times than easy ones…as you get older you ‘see them’ more and you miss things in a way you never thought you would – such as family and constantly being away from them…or trying to build a house and do a million other things too. That was a stressful time for us as well (4 years ago) I remember it well… Life is such a journey – I’m not even sure where I am going to end up at times, but I do know one thing…it won’t be boring!!!!!! 🙂 Chin up, you’re gonna be great!!!!!!!!! xxx
Erin
I don’t know what it is but my friend and I were just talking about that last night. We both feel that way at the moment. I’m feeling woobly, I’d that even makes sense. I feel like something needs to change but am unsure what it is. I have been putting my energy into doing little projects around the house that I have been putting off, but am still feeling it. Maybe it something out in the universe at the moment. But thank you for the quote. I’m going to hold onto that one. Have a great day with the family.

Sometimes something will weigh on our minds, even when we can’t clearly define it. It’s just there. Acknowledge it, let it out, cry, whatever it takes. Then fill up the space with all the good stuff in your life. You might need to sublet some more space 😉
Belinda
Your talk was amazing. You are amazing.
I do know exactly how you feel. I feel like this when I am pushed in different directions, deadlines and if I have to be away from my family.
Enjoy your Sunday with your beautiful family sweetie. Xxx
debbie
I wasnt going to comment because well I know you have so much wonderful support but whats a little more huh…you can never have enough..so I have been follwoing you since little la la’s….(no not stalker alert..lol)..you are a superstar and you are exactly where you are meant to be. Exactly.Take a breath.Surround yourself with everyone you love and just be the lovely person you are. Put the fun back in. You have traveled so far and done so well good things will follow weather you can see that now or not..hope you have a wonderful sunday xxD
Katrina
Oh hi Debbie! Thanks for following along – that WAS a long time ago! X
Sharon Smith
Hi Katrina,
I’m new to your blog and I’m really enjoying reading your stuff and everyone’s comments. Keep up the great work – you’re an inspiration. Sharon 🙂
Red Roses and Crystal
Not sure I can add a lot more than has already been said in the comments Katrina but wanted to pop in and say we all get these overwhelming feelings and deep in our gut we know what’s caused the upheaval. I guess it’s whether we choose to act on the feelings or not.
I lead a different life now to the one I led at your age and only through hindsight I can honestly say I would have done certain things differently because I was always running at a million miles an hour tryin g to be perfect for everyone in my life. I still try hard but I’ve learnt how to ease back the throttle or I’m the one who ends up getting sick etc.
Listen to your inner most feelings cause the answers are there.
I believe you were positively smashing at the blog conference and one day I’d like to see you in action. Then I can nod my head in agreement at your words of wisdom.
xx
Katrina
Thanks lovely. I didn’t really write this post for people to tell me they thought I was awesome or whatever… I just wanted to share with everyone that I have days like everyone does… 🙂
Libby
I watch you and read your blog and am constantly in awe of you – people gravitate to you because you’re a shiny star full of energy and positivity….don’t doubt yourself, have a lovely day with your family and let the unhelpful energy wash away.
Penny
I thought you were great yesterday. Have got a big fat brief coming your way with new ideas you helped me come up with in your pres. I like laneys comment. Fill up the space with good stuff. Agree. Sometimes we’re too quick to fill it up with bad. xx
Kellie Hamilton
It’s so nice to know that even celebrities like you are like us and have down days 🙂
Katrina
Hahaha oh god love, I’m not a celebrity! But if I am, I’m only D-grade 🙂
Just having a normal day like every one else. Not always sunshine and roses over here! X
