I actually do understand. When you work for the Board of Education, which I did and Janet still does, you have a whole summer to do all of your chores. Let me tell you, those kids wear you out, and you just don't have the energy during the school year.

I can afford to be a big shot, now that I'm retired. I don't get anything done though.

You can believe I'm listening....lol I really don't WANT to do these chores...they just need done. Even though I just drive a school bus and I'm off during the middle of the day there is only so much you can do.

I hate having to constantly watch the clock so I'm not late getting back to pick them up in the afternoon and I have to get myself cleaned up a bit before I go pick them up.

It's like you just get started, get a good momenum going and I have to stop. I've got to get as much done during the summer as I can...I'm just not in the mood.....

Janet, I hope you're feeling better again soon. I know it's hard to stop once you actually get the time and momentum going to do a major project, but it can wear you out to the point of not being able to accomplish anything til you recover and that time is SO misreable.
I wish we lived closer so we could share those big projects and keep each other from beating ourselves up in the process.
I hope your kitchen looks wondermous now!

I'm trying a little at a time to tackle our entire house. I need to work from the top roof ridge down. We've moved so often that we have boxes we've moved with us that are in the attic & garage that I don't know what is in them. I did clear out some shelves in the master br closet and go through that stuff a couple of weeks ago. And Janet, you shoud see my filing cabinets. There's stuff in there that I know is big time trash. All I have is a few minutes each evening, and Saturdays, but somehow I have to get it done!!!!

I know, isn't it hard to really find the time and without too many interruptions? My husband has been shocked with how much trash I've set outside the back door for him to take to the dumpster.

I'm just really tired of the clutter. I'm hoping to start in on the garage this weekend, so if something is too awful heavy, I'll have some help.

Janet I am doingthe same thing. I am taking one room at a time and cleaning walls and floors. I am trying to redecorate a little as I go. It is going slow since I work all week. That is one reason I haven't been on here much.
