I've been feeling pretty good--not as much PMDD as usual, but it has hit me now!! This was the day I was supposed to get caught up on some things around the house that have been put off from last week.This is so frustrating! When I need the energy and m0tivation to get some things done around the house--it's no where to be found. Since I've had more energy and felt better, I am spending more time away from the house. This is really new for me and as I am a social person, am really enjoying it.But still having trouble with this balance. I guess I'm all play and no work! LOL! Anyway, I knew this was coming-I can see it on the calendar. I should have the discipline to make sure some things get done, instead of just flitting around here and there. I have to break the jobs done into smaller tasks and do some things everyday. I don't know why this is so hard for me. But it's hard now, because I'm dealing with the stress of all these little chores, and I feel guilty if I rest. But I mean I have put off these chores for over a week.Okay, here's the plan. I want to just fall into bed. But I will make the list of jobs and try to do what I can. I will stop when I can't do anymore(I don't really have a choice anyway, the exhaustion stops me dead in my tracks)--then I will rest or nap, listen to relaxing music. Sometimes when I rest I can be back up and able to do some things.I will check back in here, (you keep me accountable) and then let you know how it went. THANKS for all your help and support--you're the best!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a good plan, but don\'t beat yourself up Maycin... My husband says to me once in a while, \"we need to invite some people round the house needs cleaning!!\" Its the only time it gets done!!! Sad but true.., I spend half my life STUCK rigid with great lists swirling around in my head and no ability to move... Hx
I hope that your Good plan works. I like to break things down into little parts and check them off a list, makes me feel I have acomplished more. Good luck to you. LYL Tonya
Sounds like a plan! Maybe planning a reward for yourself would help. A non-food reward, of course. heh.
I\'m the same way with my exhaustion. Balance really is the key & trying to stick with taking care of important things because the day will come where you can\'t do anything.
I try to get my work done first thing in the morning while I have energy: dishes washed, tables cleaned off where I sit in the living room & bed side. I get the bathroom clean when I\'m on a roll.
Laundry: even on a bad day, I can at least put one load in, even if I put it in the dryer the next day.
I usually don\'t make my bed since Dewey sleeps late & I\'m usually back in it resting after a while.
You can do it too! & I mean it, sister Sue!
