I know this is pathetic but I have to share it.

I usually have no motivation or energy. I just sit and stare at the TV all day.

But today I managed to do 2 loads of laundry, clean the bathroom and go grocery shopping.

BIG TIME STUFF!! Good for you!! Pat yourself on the back. We always criticize ourselves for negative stuff, but have to remember to say YAY!!!! when we do something positive.
I'm proud of you. I have a very hard time getting motivated.

That is cause for celebration! I was so motivated last week to clean "my house". I couldn't find the vacuum turns out it was in the closet clear in the back the whole time. :/

WTG! It is certainly not pathetic to celebrate such an accomplishment.

I'm just like you, octobermom!! I try to do housework, I'm the caretaker of the animals and I am the laundromat. But what REALLY happens is I see this mound of work today, my heart sinks and I curl up on the coach completely overwhelmed.

So I wish you congratulations for your accomplishments and a party IS in order!! Time to celebrate what we DO do not what we don't.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
