Good afternoon all, well it is now Saturday afternoon and I
can tell you the last couple of days have been bloody busy here. Yesterday when
I got home I was so tired that I didn’didn't feel up to doing anything and told Tim
that I would like to order pizza for tea and have it delivered of course he had
to complain about the cost of getting it delivered instead of picking it up.
Today has been another bloody busy day and when I got home I
was in a mood, and I am not allowed to be in a mood according to my daughters.
I am feeling run down and just worn out, it feels like there
is often so much to do and so little time do stuff in, I know that it isn’t
really like that but I can't help how I feel.
Also because I am not one to cancel at the last minute (yes
I know I have done) but I try not to we have Leo here for the night well we have
had him here since sometime this morning I don't know what time Jessica got
here but she was here when I got home. Part
of me would like to have a nap and part of me can't be bothered because well I feel
like I have things to do, such as writing this post.
I have done most of the Christmas presents and they are now
on the table although I do have a few more to do, ok let’s be honest here I
will be getting presents right up till Christmas Eve……………lol
Speaking of presents every time Tim looks at the table he says “there is a lot of money on that table” much to my annoyance.
Ok I would write more but I think my brain has gone to sleep
You sound stressed, Joanne. You need a break from family duties and have some Joanne time. Sounds difficult in your family but try.
ReplyDeleteToday when Leo goes home, I will clean and sort some things out and get the house in order and then I might feel like I can relax
DeleteThat's Christmas for you! Much as I like it, it's not always the enjoyable and relaxing break it's supposed to be!! Put your feet up & pour yourself a drink - it's Saturday night!!!
ReplyDeleteI did have a drink last night but that is all since I had Leo here and I don't drink when I have a child in my care.
DeleteTake a break always in your busy schedule to get yourself relaxed, so you will not find the pain in work.
ReplyDeleteMaybe tonight I will have time to relax after Leo goes home and the house is clean.
DeleteYou ever think of taking one of those vacations by yourself? Might be a good idea.
ReplyDeleteIf I did I would have to leave my phone and laptop at home because the girls would just ring or email me a dozen times a day
DeleteJo-Anne, I think you are trying to do too much at once...yes I know it's hard not to...enjoy & take a break if you can...
ReplyDeleteYes I am trying to do too much at once, sometimes I find it hard to slow down and take a break
DeleteThis time of year is always so nuts. I seriously cannot wait til it's January so I don't hVe to worry about Xmas presents anymore!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Yes it is a nuts time of year, it doesn't help when I am the only one doing things, or feel like I am the only one doing stuff
DeleteI feel really good today. I wish I could send you some of my energy or a bottle of champagne. You need a break.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I could do with a bottle of champagne maybe I should get drunk once in a while
DeleteDon't you hate it when you really don't feel in the best of moods and your other half has to complain about something you do. Grrrrrr. I hope you get some good rest and feel refreshed! XX
ReplyDeleteYes I do hate it but with Tim he really doesn't get why his complaint pisses me off.............
DeleteI know just what you mean about it seems that you are the only one actually doing things! It can be very stressful at this time of the year, and I'm not surprised that you're feeling exhausted. You are so good how you have the little ones and look after them. It's lovely, but it can also be very tiring! Tim making comments like that, certainly won't help the situation!!! I do hope that you can find a little time, amidst all the rush, to make some time just for YOU. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI managed to have some time to myself yesterday in fact yesterday was nice day, relaxing
DeleteHere's the thing I have learned... the holidays come even when we aren't ready. And know what? It's okay. It's okay to throw stuff in a gift bag or just slap a bow on it. It's okay to sleep in and take care of yourself instead of battling your way through the mall or candy store to get that one last thing. And it's OKAY to be tired... anyone who says they are not is lying. True story. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteSo true, I managed to have a sleep in this morning didn't get up till 7.30am which felt nice I woke up and just laid there and listened to the sounds of the house.
DeleteI have been where you are - get rest and slow down.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. I can't seem to get a handle on everything I need to do. I am starting to feel a bit humbugish. I am sure if and when I get caught up, I will feel more holiday spirited.
