I know I am. But I hope others feel the same. Two young kids home since march. We don't get any help from family anyway. But it doesn't normally bother me because we have the school run etc. I have the littlest at home with me and if life was different I would be interested in finding him a childminder whilst DD is at school once or twice a week. I just want to get on with things but I manage ok. I'm not needing advice about lowering my standards. I just want to do so much more some days than I can. I have to iron around my son sleeping. I was struggling to cope with washing but I've learned how to put it away everyday and iron the 2/3 things rather than leave it to pile up. Please don't tell me I don't need to iron because there are a few bits that are a state if I don't ...
As soon as I start getting things looking good I end up with a day where I have to do less due to something... this week was the heat and a horrible period. I had to go to bed with nausea and a pounding head at 4pm yesterday. My partner was working from home and stopped at 4pm. I went to bed for an hour then had a bath. Partner put the kids to bed because I ended up going back to bed feeling sick at 8pm. This morning I come down to a right tip. Teatime pots not washed. Loads of toys chucked allover the living room. Crumbs everywhere. I ranted abit because I'm trying so hard to keep on top of things now as i was getting so behind.
I know it's trivial and whiney. I guess I'm just hoping other mums feel the same. I do clean around the kids but it's just frustrating seeing how many chores I could do but I need to supervise the kids in the garden etc.
I just want one day where I can clean all the woodwork down. Get all washing done and away. Pull all the beds out and things.
I've got paint waiting to go on the kitchen and living room walls. I want to scrub one of my carpets that's got abit mucky.
Is anyone else feeling abit ready for some time to get on?
