I take a day every now and then and just ignore the mess and the dishes and declare dinner "fend for yourselves" (except for the ones who can't.) But I will try to sneak it in on one of the others as they make theirs. Like if Jeremy was making chicken nuggets for his "fend," I'd say "Can you just throw a few more in there for Gabi and Preston while your at it?" I know... lazy!! But it feels good to do nothing some days!Shannon @ Gabi's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489515190295297209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-88389535247186805642009-06-25T20:54:41.352-04:002009-06-25T20:54:41.352-04:00Hey Mike!

Maybe if you knew you could say I don't wanna at least once a day you would feel like you have more control over your crazy schedule. Just pick one thing and say no. Would anyone be any less better off if you wasted a part of one day...or one whole one?

You know its only temporary. Trust me as someone that was there I spent so much time on everyone and everything but myself -- you must allow yourself a few selfish days to regroup and regenerate. Our children deserve a happy mom and draggin your azz to do stuff you don't wanna makes an unhappy mommy.<br /><br />HUGSSSSJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563699438451685394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-1463054804945890732009-06-24T09:45:22.917-04:002009-06-24T09:45:22.917-04:00Oh sister!

I hate the heat, so it irritates me.<br /><br />I have to leave the house. Maybe go on a mini vacation, or just spend the day OUT. When I leave & come back to my house again, I have a much better perspective on it. I feel more motivated to tackle it.<br /><br />I can share many of the things on your list. Looking at them all at once is only overwhelming to me, so I'd have to choose just one thing and start w/ that.<br />One thing-the house. OK, so today I'll clear the table and get the laundry done. Tomorrow plan a healthier meal, etc. <br /><br />Why can't we all just have house-cleaners?!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828182765416909622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-47454832824161610232009-06-24T06:16:07.415-04:002009-06-24T06:16:07.415-04:00Boy do I feel ya!!

I don't know if there is a way you can do that, but if there's a way you can make it happen, 24 hours to yourself will leave you feeling re-energized and refreshed and motivated to keep going!!! Everyone needs a day like that every so often! :)Mommy to those Special Kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321242319840791482noreply@blogger.com
