I didn't blog last night because last night was "one of those nights." For me that means that I'm feeling overwhelmed by the world. It was bath night for both kids, I had to prepare a veggie tray for the Valentine's party at Punkin's school, and I had to make a dessert for the kids' Valentine program at church tonight. AND I had to get all of Punkin's Valentine cards ready AND I had to sit on my butt for a little while.
On nights like that, all I can see around me is everything that needs to be done. The dishes need to be put away, some need to be handwashed. The clothes need to be folded. The carpet needs to be vacuumed. The floor needs to be swept. The piles (of crap) need to be sorted and or straightened or assigned to new piles. The checkbook needs to be balanced.
And I start to feel overwhelmed. To say the least. Tonight's not going to be much better, but at least the weekend is on the horizon.

We all have days like that and having a cold/feeling bad makes it so much worse. Hang in there. This too shall pass (and other trite sayings).
This was like every day of my life while I was alone with the kids. I was sure I could not make it one more day and there was just....SO much.
But we get through it, we get better, we move on, the weekend comes, the sun comes out.
Feel better soon!
If it makes you feel better, I think I had one of those days yesterday, too. Only, mine was a Mom FAIL moment because we never did get around to baths. Which means tonight will be that much more fun. I did get the trash out, Valentines written, four boxes cut down for recycling, four double-pages of homework done, a blog written, dinner cooked (and eaten), dishwasher emptied and filled again, and the coffee pot cleaned out. And THAT is why there is no more red wine. :)
Hope tonight is better!
Colds and feeling overwhelmed. yeah...that sounds familiar. Hang in there, lady. Things will get better!
These are crazy days, but take a deep breath and cherish them. All too soon you will be like me, suddenly without those lil valentines. I just sent my daughter off to college this year, my son already there. I had to send their treats by mail, no grubby hugs of thanks, no sticky sweet kisses....As intense as it is now, there will be a time when you wonder, where did that time go?....
Focus on the really important stuff, trust me you won't care 15 years from now if your floor was sparkling clean!
Nice to see you blogging again.......
Hope you're feeling better soon and the weekend gives you a chance to catch your breath and relax. I completely understand the kind of days you're describing. Having a bit of one today, so now I'm trying to tell myself to just sit down and stop.
oh, I know that feeling well. In fact, I'm feeling a little like that right now. After three sick days with my kiddos my house is a wreck. I'll think about that tomorrow. How Scarlett O'Hara of me. Sending you get well wishes, my dear.
That's an all too familiar feeling. It's actually why I turned our couch so that I can't see into the kitchen when I'm sitting on it. I can ignore what's behind me and only obsess over the mess in front of me. It helps . . . a little.
Hope you are feeling much better soon!
I read the "snort" as "snot" and I thought, a queen shouldn't say snot!
