Drowning in a sea

Ugh! I feel like I'm drowning in a a sea of expectations. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now with all the changes that need to take place, both at home and work. I know I need to make a list and prioritize and put together steps but even doing that feels daunting.

So what happens? I remove myself from the situation with something mundane and fun, like shopping or reading or blogging. I procrastinate until the last minute and then it's even more stressful.

For the most part, my life is pretty good right now. Finances are slowly coming back together, tax season is over, youth are behaving themselves, spring is here. Why do I still feel this way? I think I need a vacation...oh wait, I just had one. Besides self-medicating with vodka, shopping and chocolate, does anyone else have any suggestions?
