The reality of being in a Mrs. Pageant
I'm ready to fess up I guess in a way. This has felt like the everlasting marathon and I'm at the home stretch with only 3 weeks to go, can you believe it. I've seen what Miguel looks like the last mile of his marathon doing what we call the "grandpa shuffle"and that's how I'm feeling right about now. Exhausted. I'm so stressed and feel like I need to do so much more work and practice so much more, but just can't seem to fit it in. My kids are revolting on me. They look like the nappiest little things when I drag them to the gym each morning, and I do mean every morning for the last month. I'm mentally spent and the trainer ensures I'm physically spent. My husband says we are financially spent, so there is just not a whole lot left at this point. Oh, and for some reason, probably PMS or something, I just want to eat everything in sight. Forget these lousy protein shakes and bring on the chocolate cake. Am I glad I'm doing this...Yes. Have I learned what I was after when I signed up...Definately. Am I ready to move on to something else...You betcha. When I'm lucky enough to have all my kids down for their naps at the same time I'm faced with the decision, do I go take a nap? or do I go practice? I just wonder if the other ladies feel like I do? I think I'm ready to say I'm happy with who I am and the way I look! Take it or leave it.

Hang in there! You're almost through. Besides, you're our claim to fame, so you'll just have to accept the consequences! How about you take a few hours off this Friday afternoon? Bring those turkey's on over, and run away for a bit. Or go home and sleep, nobody will ever know!
Don't worry, you are not alone!! Lately I have felt the overwhelming responsibility that will come if chosen Mrs. Utah & it has really made me think about a lot of things!!! I am super stressed as well & wanting to do so much more...my dress isn't even close to ready yet so that is making it a lot worse!!!! Oh well it's almost here!!!
I'd take the nap. Nothing makes the world happier than a good twenty to ninety minute nap!
I admire your honesty about how difficult this has been. Good luck!
You are defiantly not alone! Great Post!!
We can't do more then our spirit will let us. Do what you can and forget the rest. Our families come first and I can hear that really matters to you so relax and just do your best!!
