Need a responsible adult to help me sort my shit out.

[Fagbreakagain1]

Sat here on my arse procrastinating when I’ve got so much shit to do. I’m so over whelmed I can’t focus on one thing and I’m mentally hiding from life.

I move house in six days and not a thing is packed. I need to buy shit loads of stuff for my house

I’m running a school event that happens a couple of days after my move. I need to buy shit loads of stuff for the stalls.

The carpets are being put down a day before the event so I should really be there sorting my fecking house out and putting furniture together

I’m also running a charity event which needs to be completed in a couple of days and I need to transfer loads of shit to the charity

I also need to make a sodding Easter hat for school

I also need to help dc make another festival item for a competition.

😬

I need an adulty person to come and tell me what to do......

Or I may just get pissed and change schools ..

Make a list!
Prioritse things in order of what will be coming up first.
Get on with it!

Are you the only adult doing the move? If not, they’re on box-packing.

Get someone else to do the school event. Seriously. You’re about to move house! There needs to be someone else who can step up (I assume you are PTA and not a teacher). If no one else can step up, then cancel. Be clear, do not feel guilty.

Sort the charity stuff NOW, today.

Right!! Lists in priority order! That’s a good start!

Ignore the Easter hat and the competition. Neither are important.

1. Send message to others about stuff for stalls & school event
2. Sort charity stuff
3. Plan what you need for packing up (anything that needs buying fir new house is unimportant)
4. Delegate hat & competition to other parent/grandparent/competent teen...

Not on my own, DH is here but will be a bloody hindrance.

Yep PTA but was asked to fill in for some one else so so I took it on with out realising how fast my house would complete.

Give DH the list for hat crap & project crap. He is in charge. Send DC back to him on those.

Tell PTA you need help. Just do it! Don’t suffer in silence, seriously. Someone will be available to take a list to a shop & pick up stall stuff. You don’t have time.

None of this needs to be perfect - I can sense you are a perfectionist, this procrastinating as you don’t want to fail if it’s not right.

But you don’t have to do it all and as long as it gets done it’s fine.

Delegate. Let go!

I presume the school event is Bingo or something like it...
Leave it, you can go late night shopping once you move.
Charity stuff, is it in your house?
If so pack it up today. Can you take it too event, or put things in your boot.
Easter hats, Poundland have the makings, send hubby and children out to collect , then make one, take to school tomorrow. Tick list.
Do you have boxes. If not we used supermarket bags, 50p a go, good as not heavy to carry. Pack the books, videos and stuff.. once a room is done you will feel less stressed.

I have got help off some lovely ladies from PTA but I don’t want to appear utterly incompetent - which I am

I’ve started a list of what I need to purchase for the stalls

Yes DH can sort the kids crafty stuff out

Charity stuff is being collected at school I just need to whizz it over to charity

I’m getting focused ... I just needed a kick up the arse!

My PTA really struggles for volunteers but I'm sure if someone said they couldn't do something anymore due to moving, it would be totally OK and no one would expect you to do it! Surely someone else can take over, you really need to focus on the move.

List tasks in priority order. Then pick something to start with - it doesn't have to be the most important one at this stage, just pick something you know you can do easily. Do it, and cross it off your list.

Promise yourself a break/treat once you've completed each task or group of tasks.
