So here it is at 10:30 at night and I'm just overwhelmed.. I've just started to feel like myself after the unexpected C-Section!! And now I feel bogged down with house chores! I am alone all day and know that I need to start helping with the non-existent housework! Non-existent as in it hasn't been done (hardly) since Mom left! Adam did do a couple loads of laundry (which are all wrinkled now in the same baskets) and some dishes.. But now things are just piling up!
Now don't get me wrong.. I understand that Adam has to work and he works all day! He works very hard too!! And I'm grateful for that. BUT I feel like I can't do everything by myself.. This might be me whining but man it just seems like too much! With nursing Cayden every two hours and making sure he's okay and smells good, I just feel like I can't handle it!! I'm starting to break down alot because I don't think it'll ever be clean.. The apartment that is.. As I sit here at the computer I can just tell how dirty my house is.. and I'm ashamed..
So i've made a list of things that I need to do to get this apartment looking like I want it..
- Dishes: about 2 or 3 loads
- Laundry: 4 or 5 loads
- Straighten up: EVERY ROOM
- Pick up Trash: EVERY ROOM
Now I feel like I'm coming off as a dirty person.. and I'm not I promise! I just haven't felt good! And now that I do.. I just don't want to do it and I'm just feeling really overwhelmed..
But I guess I just need to take it one task at a time and then I'll be fine.. And thats what I'll be doing til my house is the way I want it..

you are on the right track! just one step at a time. i know how you feel! taking care of a kid is a FULL TIME job....and then you add on all the house work and shopping and EVERYTHING else, its an insane amount for one tired, stressed, recuperating momma! So, even though your hubby might work all day, don't feel bad having him chip in with some work....I used to feel the same way with James. He worked SO much, then I needed him to do so much at home. But our job is SO much harder..yeah, they work hard...but ours is above and beyond!
SO moral of the story is...men are made patriarchs of our families b/c they have within them the ability to work hard and be strong for their women. :)
Also...who cares about a clean house...just make sure its comfortable for you! Clean at a pace that won't tire you out...make a schedule out if you need (Monday, vacuum; Tuesday, laundry, etc) thats what I ended up having to do!
I love ya, you can ALWAYS call me, email me, text me....
Aww thanks sarah!! You're the best :)
