There are always things that need to be done

The kids need to help you with the jobs that need to be done. I was not made to help, and did not do so very much with my kids, and I regret it now. They are helping to make the mess, and they can certainly help clean it up, and not wear you out so completely.

I work a full time job and even last weekends three day weekend helped me out around the house and running errands and i did get a lot done then there is always going to be laundry and dishes to do no matter what you do. There is always some type of cleaning thing to get done around the house and if you think one day is enough you must be kidding youself because with kids that you have it must be hectic. I still live at home and help my parents out all the time, i try and do the laundry and at least clean my side of the house as much as i can. This weekend will be hard as we are taking care of my cousin and her kids as she just had to have a surgery procedure for a hernia and she is needing us as much as possible even though she works. Her husband is a doctor is always on call and some weeks works seven days a week. My mom is taking her and i wont have time for myself at all this weekend as i have so much errands and bill paying this weekend.

Oh I hear you jugsjugs..I still haven't gotten around to getting my sons school things packed away for the summer and there are berry plants I was suppose to dig up for my neighbor which I only did half of a couple weeks ago..Maybe I can do that tomorrow if it doesn't rain...

Hi Jugs, Household chores will always be there...lots and lots of it everyday. Never ending chores and things to do everyday. We are always challenged to prioritize things. You will end up so tired and yet there are still lots to accomplish. But at least you did some of them that made you feel fulfilled at the end of the day.

It sounds like you had a very busy day. When I try and do something around the house, I always find other things that need done also. Then I get sidetracked and end up getting nothing done. I have a hard enough time getting things done and I don't have to deal with children and their needs and messes. If I did I would never get anything done, I might not even try. Tomorrow is another day. Try to take it easy tomorrow.

You certainly need & deserved a rest, you've done too much & enough for your body to get exhausted...as there are more things need to be done the next day, and you really need to regain back the energy you just released...

YEah, that's how things are happening.. IF we dun get started on anything, all things seem to appear normal.. bUt once we started on one, other stuffs starts appearing as well, and make us realize how long we have been neglecting them.. lol =D PLus, i guess it's also like our nature, when we are working on something, and those cropped out things, happen to be related to what we are doing at the moment and thus we end up doing it, and more.. haha =D At the end of it, we tend to do more than what we plan to do.. hehe

jugsjugs I do not care if your children have some sort of health problems they are old enough to pick up after themselves,you are just too darned good a mom let them do some things to help you please. I get tired listening to how much you do and all I am doing is ty ping. with your psoriasis you have enough on your hands. It is not mean to make kids pick up toys and straighten up after themselves. it does build character really.You've already built up your character so sit down and direct each one to do some little thing to straighten up any mess they have left. soon they will get to enjoy this as it helps mom. I got the best sleep I have had in days as my roommate got ill and had to go to t he Er so was gone all night.she waked me up every two hours getting up and going downstairs to get a glass of ice then coming back up and being noisy with it as she is deaf. I like her much but she is becoming hard to live with,I think she is beginning to get some mental problems of some sort.

Jugs! You need a vacation!

i feel the same way too. the chores feel like no ending story, but sometime i just let the house messy and take a rest for me. i need it, because i am not a machine who can do all the chores all the time without rest.

i've been very busy over the last week,i've painted the bathroom and laid the floor,also i've started the back garden ready for the summer holidays when we have bbq's and stuff,i shouldn't be doing this,the doctor would be less than impressed if he knew,but i get bored,i'm shattered but i'll rest next week when the kids are back at school

You really deserve a good rest Miss Jugs. I admire you for accomplishing all the task you need to do for the day. I'm bad in time management and I get easily distracted so I always end up cramming. I hope I learn a thing or two from you. How can I focus on my priorities without being too distracted? I desperately need to learn this things...

That's absolutely right there jugs!

I hope you find the time to relax from your busy day, sometimes it seems like there isn't enough hours in a day to do all the chores, cook food and look after the kids. It's a full time job.

hi jugsjugs, well that's always the case and its very true! household chores is never ending and its really not easy to be a stay at home mom/housewife. like on my part even if i don't have kids around me still i feel like there's a lot of things to do in the house that i should do. and if i will take them all seriously i think i will not even get a chance to be online since after doing those things it will make me really tired. that's why what i just do now is to set schedules for those chores that i need to accomplish, doing things one by one and depends on its importance.

I totally agree, it's never done! I clean, wash, doing the laundry and I probably have to clean again after that as someone will probably make a mess on something already. That exclude something like folding clothes, ironing, pets care, cooking and more. We can work around the house all day and will never get the works done.

It seems like a Woman's job is never done I know the feeling, I can never get everything dome I need to ever!!!I get so tired too, it is a shame but what can we do?

Hello Jugsjugs!. I am sometimes feel like that too. I want to make all my job finish so I can rest and do what ever I like. In fact the there are always something had to get done, in few moment I really wanna to scream. I find great massage at the weekend help me to reduce the stress make you feel have new energy. Give yourself vacation one day in a week from all house work.

Yes you are right my friend, there is no end to work in our homes too, we can choose them to complte on basis of priority only, those less important can be done later.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

I agree, it is never ending.
