This past week I have felt like I am walking up an escalator that is going down. No matter how much I do I feel like I accomplished nothing. For example, I cleaned out our closet that has a filing cabinet in it. I moved everything inside of it downstairs into a bigger filing cabinet and organized all the papers and threw away lots! That took me all afternoon and when I went back up to the closet I realized that that big job that I had just done hardly got me any closer to a clean closet. Another example, I was getting our camping menu/shopping list ready. I had everything written out according to meals and what I needed to get at the store. As I was thinking about where I was going to grocery shop I found myself gettting stressed out. I needed to go to one store for the meat one store for produce, and one store where I could get alot of stuff for a lot less than most stores (I'm weird like that)... that's three stores I have to wander through to get what I need plus I have a 17 mon old that I have to get home in time for a nap or in time to make dinner, so I become STRESSED OUT. I try so hard to be an organized person, but I think I spend more time thinking about how to be organized than I do actually being organized.
So, until I figure out how to be "Super Woman" I guess I'll just keep taking little time outs every now and then to keep from making myself go insane.
Thank your for reading my sob story! Sometimes a girls just got to vent :)
I am the same way with my groceries! So I totally feel ya :) Your family is lucky to have such an organized mother and wife who take the brunt of the stress so things like camping trips more fun and no one has to worry about the food. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYour a rock star! Wish we could get organized together!
DeleteI'm super impressed with the fact you cleaned out your filing cabinet. I have looked at mine for months knowing it was something I needed to do but I have been avoiding it. YOU ARE SUPER MOM! Don't ever believe you aren't!
