I'm so tired now. Tired of fighting with the middle school about my daughter, worn out from trying to please my custom order clients, tired of my messy house, tired of going thru all the stuff (JUNK) we really don't need that's taking up so much space. I sooooo need a vacation!!
The middle school is driving me NUTS! Gracie is failing 3 classes (this from a girl with 98-99th percentile ISTEPs!)and all they can say is, "she needs to be more responsible....she needs to do blah blah blah....! Actually any more all I hear is "blah, blah, blah" when they call kinda reminds me of the teacher on the Peanuts cartoons we used to watch as kids. ;)
I'm sorting and discarding anything that I possibly can. I mean clothes, boxes of anything I don't want to look at, old movies that Nikolas won't watch 'cause they're too girly, all that extra bathroom junk that somehow accumulates. Why do we need to try 800 different hair products anyway? I mean Gracie & I both usually wear a ponytail or braid, possibly a hair clip. Who needs that much stuff?Pappa and Boo both have really short hair so they don't either.
I'm so over all the accumulated crud. Part of me is going "Please just make it all go away!!" The other part says I should at least look at it to be sure we really don't use it before I pitch it. I hate to re-buy things I just tossed out.
On a better note...I'm setting up a set of recycling bins for some of the things we use a lot of like paper and plastic. It's not as green as I'd like but we're in a super small house and they don't pick up our recycling so I have to store and transport it to the city dump where the recycling center is.
I think I'm going to stop taking custom orders for awhile. I'm getting so burned out. I haven't even been doing that many but I started this as a hobby and to help out others. I find that I don't even want to sew much anymore. Plus I can't afford to have any real income from this or we could lose Boo's medicaid and no other insurance will touch him because of all his medical issues.
I think I need to get a few nights of sleep that are more than 5 hours and maybe I'll freshen up some.
Sorry, I didn't mean to rant and vent this much but sometimes that happens when your life is crazy like mine.
Have a good night!
Hi Suzanne! You can rant, that's okay! I completely understand! I am somewhat in the same boat! Gayle is now having health issues and my house is a wreck, even after I just cleaned it! Sometimes I just want to throw away everything in my house! What I love is to go buy something I know I have but can't find! I hope your days get brighter and your nights get longer!!! Take care!
ReplyDeleteAin't life grand! Being a mom can be so rewardng and so very challenging especially with kiddo's like ours. Hope Gayle gets to feelin' better soon.
