Tired - big suprise... Mood
Thursday, April 3, 2008 | A Rambling story
This is my first attempt at a journal and I am not sure what to say. Everyday is a new challenge. Yesterday it was a headache that kept me in  bed all day and today I feel better but know if I over do it I will be back in bed tomorrow. I hate that my house is a mess and that I am living out of the dryer. My kids have been eating fast food and left overs a lot because I do not have the energy to clean the kitchen or to cook. I wish I cleaning fairy would poof the house clean. The husband does what he can but we all know a man's cleaning is is not as clean as it should be. The kids do what they can after a few shouting matches and threats of no video games...they have ADHD so getting them to focus for more then 5 mins is tough enough. Now I feel overwhelmed because I have been so sick the past few months that it all seems to be too much. Besides hiring a maid (which is too expensive) what am I to do but live in a mess?

    The house is the leaast of your worries.A bigger worry is overdoing it and paying for it later.That's not going to make you any better.The way I see it,as long as you kitchen sink and the toilet are clean,let the dust pile up...it's not going anywhere.You need to concentrate on you so you don't get any worse.We all know what you're going through and we all can sympathize.Just take care of yourself,ok?
