rescue me....

Hi eureka! I Sympathize with you and I can understand your predicament. I think, you need to take someone's help immediately, may be any of your relatives or any of your Neighbors could be requested to come for your help. And as soon as you finish your household errands, you may go to the Doctor along with kids so that all could be treated and given medicines. I wish I could have come up there and helped you clear the mess. Keep your cool and execute the task one by one with ease.

There are moments when you just have to look after yourself. I have felt like this many times - house upside down, dirty laundry, dishes waiting for me in the sink, daughter sick, everything a mess. And a heavy headache in addition. I usually manage to take control of the situation and do my job with the last strength I have but after that I feel exhausted and unable do to nothing more. In such cases I just drop everything and go to bed. All I need is 30 minutes to one hour lying in bed with my eyes closed. I shut down myself from the world. When I get up again I feel almost OK. Sometimes our bodies and mentality just need to be shut down for a while. If we don't help ourselves no one will. That's why I prefer just to turn my back on everything for a while to gather some strength. And start all over again. No one will send me to prison for not doing the housework for a couple of hours. I wish you happy recovery!

ooh that's so sad eurekafemme, hmmm i never faced such a situation, but i feel pity for you, and don't your spouse help you out???

It's been a long while since I've been sick. I do know that if I were, that odds are, I'd be the one taking care of me. Take care of yourself the same as you do your kids. Pamper yourself and don't worry about the housework. It'll all still be there waiting patiently when you feel better. Hope you are feeling better soon, Eurekafemme!

Hi sweetie. I have been feeling like that the past few days. Ask someone to come and help you, okay. Now get yourself a nice cup of tea and go to bed. It's not the end of the world when things don't get done in the house.

If you have kids and a husband make them clean because it's there house too and it's not far that all the weight is on your shoulders. You aren't a housewife and you shouldn't be treated like one. If I were you I wouldn't just sit there with my arms crossed and aggravating myself cleaning this house.

oh ya! i have fibromyalgia and work part time (there is no way i could work more) and my hubby works 2 jobs to make ends meet - albeit barely...we struggle every week and i would love the debt fairy to come and wave her magic wand and get rid of it. hubby was off for 9 months and we are still paying off THOSE bills too! ~blah~~!

Are you a single mom? I know how tough that can be. Good thing moms can handle anything, right? LOL :) Perhaps you could call a good friend-or a sister or brother to come help out. I wouldn't worry too much...all those dirty dishes and mess won't run away-do what you can do and get your much needed rest. Hope you feel better soon. God bless.

Where is your husband? Maybe you shuold se if he could take a dayoff to take care of you and the kids for a day or two, just put the housework behind until you get well. When I was sick, it was painful for me to have to do the housework as wellas taking care of our newborn couplemonths ago... I hope you can get some rest when your kids nap.

Hi! Cheer up! I know that's not easy but you don't have a choice. Just make it little by little but prioritize yourself and your kids condition. Take medicine, drink plenty of water then eat the right foods. And for the mess, just fix it one at a time. Spend for washing clothes for an hour then take a 30 minutes break. Then an hour for bathroom and cr stinks and floor. And the house as much as you can. What's important for you now is at least you've started a little than nothing. Or you can contact your family or friends to help you. That's the responsibility of a parent. Do everything whatever it takes despite all these problems. Problems will just be solved. Just stay on track, still be hopeful and ask guidance from above. Everything has a way. Don't worry and don't forget to smile. You'll just realize later on how you get through from that problems. Cheer up!

I feel for you, eureka. I have three little kids to take care of and that's usually the scenario at home when one or two or, God forbid, all of them gets sick. I don't even know how I survived. But you know what? I did. It wasn't easy but having kids never is. Just pray, okay? And don't worry they'll grow real fast, there will come a time when you'll wish they'd go back to being kids and be with you all the time. :)

I think first , take some medicines for your sickness and rest for a while together with your kids. Then after you have rested , you can do the dirty dishes at the sink. Those dirty laundry could be taken cared of, if you are already well enough to do it. Those sticky bathroom and floor could also be done when you are already well enough. What is important is take a rest now that you are sick. Your sick children needs you to be well and about.

Perhaps you may hire a housekeeper to help you tidy things up. How's your husband? It would be nicer to have him around you at times like this. Or if he can't, try to seek help from your parents or relatives. Get well soon..

make a plan first, clear your trouble little by litte, when the day is over you will see that you are incredibally great!

I understand how you feel all too well. I just moved to Tennesse and we took the last load of our stuff down the other day. I have all these boxes to unpack and then I have my daughter's stuff still in her room unpacked because she hasn't moved down with her husband yet. I have computer work to do and house work but I'm sick for right now and my husband's taking caare of me till I'm up on my feet.

I've had days like those. Where I take care of all of the people in the house, yet there is no one to take care of me. I keep coming to visual of a friend of mine some years back when I was feeling so low. He stood on my doorway, and just said, 'nobody's going to help you, so stand up and do it yourself'. Just that image would drive me to do what is necessary. And I would do one thing at a time. It may take time, but I'm sure things will get sorted out. I hope yours will, too!

Every one some time face this sitution. You can take help of your any nearst one. First you improve your helath that try do all the yourself. It is said that God help, who help himself. So took faith on God he will help you

Hello dear! Sad to hear it my friend! Please call your relatives right away or a friend who could at least do some household chores in your place. I suggest you tell your hubby that you need a helper. Try to be strong enough for your kids friend,I know you,you can do it! When hubby gets home,I know for sure he will take care of you even in simple ways. Hope you'll be fine soon friend!

Prioritize. For you to do the things you mentioned, either you get help OR you get well. So what if the laundry piles up a bit...maybe the dishes need to clean first before insect or bugs comes in. After that, concentrate on rest. let the floor remain sticky for a while while you lie in bed and have the two kids in bed with you, so no need to have such clean shiny floor. Concentrate on good rest to get well. You have two kids, I do assume your partner could help too? Otherwise, really, don't be afraid to ask friends for help, say in babysitting the kids when you are well so you can do the chores if it is too much to ask your friend to do it. Wishing you get well soon.
