I'm so frustrated, I'm about to cry. I had a sink of dishes and didn't want to hand wash them, and tried loading the dishwasher. UGHHHAAAAgtgghhh SO FRUSTRATING! No cooordination, can't get the dishes to sit in there properly, can't get the spoons, forks etc.in the utensil holes.
My back hurt so bad and I was so weak and started sweating, I had 2 spoons and one small plate and I couldn't even finish. I put the soap in the dishwasher and started it and tried to wipe down the counters.
Nope, cannot do that tonight.
This is the type of thing that brings me to frustrated tears...

This is fresh on my mind today because our son, who is 18, complained again last night that I'm still in my pj's at noon most days and eating my cereal. He figures I should get up early like I used to and eat breakfast at breakfast time and lunch at lunch time. He expressed frustration at the fact that I used to have everything caught up and the piles are getting to him. I think it is because it shows just how sick I really am and it bothers him to see me that way.
He wonders how things are going to get done as far as dishes, vaccuuming, mopping, once he moves out. He does those chores because he lives here, plus it is in exchange for us to make his $60 a month car payment for him. His dad told him that we did all of the housework before he was born and while he was little, so we will manage after he moves out. I'm thinking we'll probably hire a maid to come at least twice a month, lol.
We explained to him also that dad is tired on the weekends from working all week and taking care of me, running to the store, cooking a few nights, etc. Plus, he has a medical condition that causes fatigue.
Sorry if I got to talking too much, lol. I have had this built up since last night. I cried and cried last night because I feel so badly that I can no longer take care of things like I used to. I'm with you, it is frustrating for sure!!
Big hugs,

you have a better night :)

I have a friend who is retired on disability who needs money, and I need help, so we help each other out. She comes twice a week and cleans the kitchen and whatever else she can get to (depends on how awful the kitchen is whether she has time and energy to do more). I'm off on Friday so when she comes on Friday she and I do it together, and take a lot of breaks.
When its just me and Jon, we do like ChaCha and take turns with the upper and lower rack, and when we put them away, we do that together as well. It gets done twice as fast, and neither of us has to work that hard.
You just do whatever you have to do - and don't stress about what doesn't get done. Your health and well-being is much more important than a few dishes or a little dust.
You might check out www.flylady.net for tips on how doing a little each day can help you keep things presentable (not perfect). I can't even muster the discipline to do that little stuff after I work all day - I usually come home and park myself on the bed with the laptop and I'm done for the day.
