Hi all,
Wondering out loud here if anyone has the feeling whether anything they tackle is all too much?
My house is reasonably decorated but needs freshening up, same with garden, all of it could do with two pairs of hands an someone making the tea! I'm capable enough of decorating(tarting up with paint rollers) and keeping on top of mowing lawns etc but I just feel some sort of inertia lately towards it all an don't even want to start the job!
I work full time all week an am on my feet all day, then run around the kids and a dog- I keep on top of the housework well etc it's just the big jobs.i can't afford to pay someone to do it, an yes I could ask family or a friend to help but everyone's so busy!
I'm not asking for soloutions to this problem, just wondered if anyone in same boat? I kinda think is there something wrong with me, or is it relatively normal to feel like this,? wonder if it's gonna be like this forever? Or will I ever meet Mr DIY to help or earn enough money to cover paying someone to do it?!
My ds's are away for 2 weeks and I've been dog sitting my dads dog involving x2 visits a day- but I feel I've wasted my free evenings and weekends doing none of the things I should be.
I've cleared out the boys wardrobes and a shed but really just slobbed in the evenings.
When the ds's are here I long for the time or space to do such things listed above...... What's going on with me?!?!
