Stressed Out and Overwhelmed!
Did you ever feel like you have so much to do you don’t know where to start? That you’re being stretched like Mrs. Incredible and are about to snap?
Well that’s how I feel right now! I’m trying to finish edits on my WIP in the midst of scheduling doctors appointments, acquiring donations for my kids school fundraiser for THREE classes, on top of planning activities for this fundraiser (Americana Day) and setting up displays for two of these classes, and rewriting a play for one, typing out my recipes for a cook book, and getting performers to come and that’s not even considering all the work it will take to decorate the rooms. Tomorrow I have a meeting for one of the class projects that I haven’t even begun work on. The good news is that I delegated a lot of the work already, but my train wreck of a house has been stressing me out for months, but I just keep stepping over the toys and clutter, and now my husband informed me over Spring break my son wants a sleep over birthday party! ARGH!
If my mom wasn’t staying with me the laundry wouldn’t be getting done and neither would most of the cooking. She’s really been helpful in cooking and chopping veggies, so I feel healthier, physically, I’m just drained mentally. I’m surrounded by clutter and don’t know where to start, and I still have a list of people to call for other various meetings and a doctor appointment to take my mother to tomorrow!
My hubby doesn’t understand that I don’t want kids in this house because every where I turn there’s either kid clutter, mom (my mom) clutter, year old homeschool clutter, and WIP work cluttering my desk. I really wanted this spring break to be a time I could declutter my home and now I may have to be entertaining kids! ARGH! Feeling like a pirate here!
Hubby says I shouldn’t worry, and not to stress, but he has no clue how much needs to be done, and I don’t want to be pressured into doing it and then have two days full of noisy boys in my home. I really don’t want to have a sleepover in this house at all. At first it was going to be at a hotel. I’m not sure why it changed, but I really can’t deal with it right now. I have too much going on, too much to worry about, and too much stress!
Thanks for listening. We now return to your regularly posted blog…
