[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 201847, member: 3444"] Okay, I'm really struggling lately with boredom and lack of motivation. There is SO much to do around my house that I alternate between feeling overwhelmed and not really giving a darn about the state of disarray. I know this will pass, but it's been gnawing at me and I HATE it! And in the back of my mind I'm worrying about all sorts of mundane things: difficult child 1's school issues that I have to RIDE him about daily, supervising difficult child 2's homework DAILY, finances (double ugh), I have to get paint bids for the house, I need to get stuff fixed on the car, I need to exercise (never seem to get my butt moving towards that goal), I have boxes and bags of STUFF in the garage to sort through, our guestroom is a disaster of toys and stashed STUFF... AAAARRRRGH! And I keep thinking that I can't start any big project because in a few hours I have to go pick up the kids and start the afternoon homework routine. Lame excuse, I know. Did I mention I feel overwhelmed? So what do I do? I sit down at the computer and check my email or play Spider solitaire, or look at the news headlines, check to make sure Herbert's still in the yard, water the potted plants... blah, blah-blah, blaaaaah. I don't feel like I'm sleeping well, either. So I have my morning cup of joe so I can just function well enough to get the kids off to school, and then I'm too wired to go back to sleep... I do a little bit here and a little bit there -- empty the dishwasher, start a load of laundry, empty the garbage, sort through papers and trash stuff... That's part of the problem. We have so much STUFF. I know, I just need to chip away at it. It's hard to take my own advice. Sigh. Okay, well I guess I just needed to pi$$ and moan a little today. Maybe it's time to change my medications... Maybe I just need my butt kicked... [/QUOTE]
