Feeling frustrated

Updating projects are wonderful, but we do tend to let everything else slide while they are in progress. Hope some semblance of order finds you soon. And some sunshine. That helps everything!
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad about letting your correspondence and journaling go - you've got too many other things going on and need to concentrate on those! You will be less stressed if you just let that go for now - everyone will understand!
ReplyDeleteThe sunshine will definitely help the next too weeks go smoother though!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing you! David has worked 3 different shifts since we've been married and each time he changes it takes some "adjustment" here at home. So good, some not so good. We get used to a certain routine then it all gets turned upside down. We're (I am) doing some painting/ re-arranging in the house so my "regular" duties have been neglicted also...don't like that feeling. Here's hoping you get your house back in order, fun projects done, work project done, and LOTS of sunshine your way soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat are critical parent/children ABC's?
ReplyDelete@Nish- Yes, I know everyone will understand, it's just the the journaling I do is such a good mental/stress reliever! Kind of just gets it all out there in front of me & then I let it go in my head!
ReplyDelete@Laura--Attitude, Behavior & Consequences (actually I re-named C, it was labeled Character which is true too)
And yes, Sunshine always helps doesn't it!!
Who needs help with the ABC's..parent or child? : ) I like the concept!
ReplyDeleteI've been where you are, Maxine, and I promise you: this too shall pass. It always does. Life is a series of ups and downs. Journaling is such a great stress reliever. I wish you lots of sunshine that is the first step in getting a positive perspective back. You'll get there!
ReplyDeleteWe have a to do list here about a mile long and never have time to do any of it...partly because of 2 toddlers, partly because my hubby works such long hours. It's very frustrating....but it does all come together in the end. Just not in the timing I would have originally chosen. My "fun" projects get put on the back burner a lot too....they're a good booster for me, so I try not to push them too far back. Wishing you lots of sunshine too!! :)
ReplyDelete@Susan; Parents AND children :P and I have to say it's going pretty well so far.
ReplyDeleteTo you all....Thanks Just the fact that I have someone that listens & leaves a comment makes me smile!
It sounds like the adjustment time after the kids have been away from home for a week.....happened every time to us. The kids have a hard time readjusting to parents authority. And its an adjustment to you having them there again. It won't last forever! Prioritize! The kids seem like the most important and if you aren't stressed too much from putting other things on the back burner for awhile it will make it easier on you. Cheer up!
ReplyDeletei think i need to learn my ABCs!!!
