All right. Mojo in the morning show. Shannon, you mentioned something this morning and I think you should, if you can, if you feel comfortable, bring it up on the air. But out of the blue, you just kind of let a sigh out and said something that you remember what I'm talking about.

I equate this to, and maybe you have felt this way at some point in your life, but this is the only way that I can describe how I'm feeling right now. It feels like I am on a really fast moving train and I just need it to stop so I can take a deep breath and catch up on my life. Yeah. Like I am so overwhelmed right now. And it feels like I am doing 20 things at one time. Like I've got so many different things going on and going through my brain. And, you know, it's like I if I'm not doing these 20 things, I'm thinking about them. And it's like work and Lucy and Smith and then the older kids and the three dogs and stuff at home that needs to get done in boxes that still haven't been unpacked from Wes moving in after we got married and trying to get in some friend time, which I feel like I'm failing at miserably. And then just like checking stuff off my to do list, it doesn't stop. And I feel like I just needed to stop for a second. I said to Wes yesterday, I'm like, I feel like I need to take two days off of work so that I can just like finish all of this junk so that I feel like I can at least keep going. You know what I mean? And I'm like watching my friends do stuff on social media and I'm like, oh, I'm missing that because I'm so busy with this over here. And I feel like I'm not giving it 100% over here. And then, you know, what really made me very aware that I need to slow down is I was in the car. This was the day before yesterday and I had my phone, which I effing hate my phone. Sometimes I just want to throw it out my window, but I was trying to respond to an email and Smith was in the backseat and he was talking to me. And honestly, I wasn't even paying attention because I was just trying to finish responding to like whatever this email was to somebody. and Wes was in the driver's seat and he said, Stan, Smith is trying to tell you something really important that's a core memory for him. You might want to put your phone down. And Smith starts talking about this moment on our trip to Colorado that we went on back in July and how it was like his favorite vacation of all time because of something that had happened. And I just like literally sat in my seat and started to cry. I'm like, I need to pause and slow down.

I think that this so first off thank you for sharing because I think that a lot of times we feel um embarrassed too because we feel like we want to sound like we're together right like we got everything together but so many people are relating to this because you should see what the text messages are looking like right now of people commenting going I'm right there with you you've had a lot of stuff going on recently right you've just recently uh gotten married you've added to your family you guys have moved people in you got people coming on some some weeks some weeks they're you know your kids are going you know it's like you got a lot of stuff going on work's been really busy this is one of our busiest times that we have work-wise my mom is in the process of moving oh geez add that on top of everything yeah it's like you just want all you want is you want to

like a moment and it's funny because i don't even think i don't even think a moment or a weekend or a week can help slow it down it just happens and just looking at your calendar stresses me out and

sometimes i feel really guilty when i feel exactly the same way and i go well i don't have kids on my plate and i'm not in a relation like i have it a lot easier than a lot of people who are going through juggling more items than i am which makes me feel guilty but um it's really really interesting that you brought the friend thing up specifically because last night, my girlfriend FaceTimed me while I was running errands and doing chores just because I haven't seen them in so long. And it's like, this isn't what friends are supposed to do. You're not supposed to FaceTime each other. You're supposed to spend time with each other. And it made me feel super guilty.

Shannon, or Megan, I will say this to you. I think that don't discount that you have a lot to do because I look at your schedule of what you do. I don't know how you on a daily basis do what you're doing. So, uh, Lisa, what's up? How are you? It's Mojo in the morning.

I'm good. How are you guys?

Welcome to the good. We're welcome to the overwhelmed club. How are you?

I'm, I'm in it too. I'm a member.

Yes. Well, you're a card carrying member.

Yes, I am. Um, I was going to tell Shannon that I think start with time with friends and that will recharge your battery because it's good for the soul and then you can tackle everything else from there. it just kind of fills all those buckets that you need those little holes you know yeah I um I

this I think it was Sunday I had to drop something off to my friend Lindsay's house and when I was dropping this thing off it was for the kids school um she was hanging out with one of my other girlfriends and it like I I felt like an outsider interrupting their like hangout session and i was like i i looked at both of them and i feel like they've been hanging out a ton too and i'm like i haven't even like i feel so out of the loop weird my friends it was like it just yeah i feel like very west keeps using the word scattered like i get into bed at night and i'm like okay i have to do this this this this i feel like i failed smith you know because i wasn't able to finish this today and then like it's like oh my god and and i feel like i'm getting like five hours of sleep which is not helping I just feel like I'm like unraveled honestly I think

the sleep probably is a big thing if you get that sleep it makes you feel like you're accomplished

a lot because you're just rested right yeah what's up Alexia yeah hi hi um my daughter actually my my middle daughter was just recently diagnosed with developmental autism so I know all about like the being overwhelmed and everything because my husband also has seizures so I have to drive him to work and then I have to take the kids to school and then I work on top of doctor's appointments and therapy and everything else all week long so I feel like myself like I don't get enough sleep or I don't feel like I'm there for the special moments either yeah and you got a lot

on your plate I mean that's a lot but you know what we appreciate you call up I hope that listening to this show sometimes gives you a little bit of rest oh absolutely i listen to you guys every

morning driving my husband to work i mean this this show has been like my life the last year

oh man we appreciate you so much we're we're doing a radio hug right now for you uh 313 says i'm crying right now because i'm in the boat the same boat as you shannon uh that is 313 that just

sent that samantha what's up it's mojo in the morning good morning good morning um sorry this is probably the most real and open and honest topic um i live in a different state from all my friends and family and this year has been chaotic um my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer trying to keep her and everybody together and super short staffed at work and i honestly felt like shannon i messaged my friends like oh i am so sorry for being a crappy friend this year because i just don't have the energy trying to move to be closer to family and trying to find

a new job it's just been chaotic well know this we're going to pray for your mom first know that

you're doing what you're supposed to be doing right now you're supposed to be focusing your attention to your mom. You know, I think that your friends, like true friends, understand that. And true friends understand when a friendship has to be paused because there is something monumental happening in your life. And that's taking care of your mom.

I've been very thankful. She just rang the bell about two weeks ago, but was in the hospital after that for complications so we're just hoping for some rest so that she can have her surgery

here in the next couple weeks and you said you're looking for a new job

I am. I'm looking for a new job to be closer to them. Where are they? Huntsville, Alabama now. We're originally from Michigan. Okay. Well, we got to pray that something comes your way in Huntsville, Alabama, or if anybody's listening in there, send good vibes towards Samantha here. Samantha, we appreciate you calling. I really appreciate that. Man, we love you. Thank you. Thank you. Shannon, thanks for sharing. We appreciate that.
