This has been one of those weeks.
Right now I feel like I have about 900 things I need to do.
At least 750 of those need to get done at home.
At least 500 of those involve some aspect of cleaning my house.
At least 300 of those involve doing something with clothing.
At least 200 of those involve some stage of doing laundry.
I've noticed that I've been feeling incredibly overwhelmed a lot more often of late. It's somewhat ironic. Before I started taking medication for ADD, I had twice as many things that weren't getting done but felt overwhelmed a lot less often because I either didn't notice or didn't think of it much. Now that I'm more or less medicated, I notice all of it and have to make an effort not to think about how much I haven't gotten done!
Work has been quite frustrating this week, leaving me pretty exhausted when I get home. We spent the weekend with my parents, so I never made it to the grocery store. I'd managed dinner Monday and Tuesday, but tonight I just... didn't. Greg ate a bowl of cereal about 7:30. Which means I don't have lunches to pack tomorrow. And I know I won't cook tomorrow because Greg's supposed to be bowling and won't be home long enough to eat. Which means no lunches on Friday unless I cook something especially for lunches. Which won't happen. It's a vicious cycle.
Who am I kidding, if I could just manage to unpack one of the two suitcases that have taken up homestead in the bedroom floor, I'd feel like I'd accomplished something. But for some reason I just can't seem to get anything started around here. I'm hoping I can really tackle some shopping, cleaning, and planning on Saturday. Especially since my parents are supposed to be here Sunday morning and are spending the night. Sigh. I suppose it might be easier to put them up in a hotel!

Trust me, I feel for you. Hope you're able to get a handle on things (without wearing yourself out more in the process) this weekend.
tackle one thing at a time, take deep breaths, and don't forget to rest. =)
I am right there with you babe. I can't tell you the last time I cleaned my house. I have a crapload of stuff at work that needs to get done and I'm supposed to have quality time with my daughter and hubby in the meantime. But I'm too tired to do anything! I seriously almost called in sick today to just stay in bed and sleep!
one day at a time...one thing at a time. (((HUGS)))
