Self Pity
WARNING: Completely self indulgent, self pity filled rant to follow....read at your own risk!!!
I've got the nanny, of course, but she isn't a cleaning lady and shouldn't be. I've just really started getting up and out of bed and OMG my house is a PIG STY. You have to remember that we moved in here after I was already fairly physically impaired with my back. So, there has been No (and I do mean NO) organization done around this house. We still don't have half of the furniture we need in here. (My husband works 7 days a week, half the week 160 miles away and things tend to slip through the cracks) so, our bedroom has nothing but a bed, TV and cradle. We do have a few under-bed crates, but that's it. No dresser, no armoire...nothing. We are utilizing the dresser in the living room with a drape over it as an entertainment center, and have socks, underwear etc. in it. But other than that, I'm ashamed to say, we have clothes all over the bed room (clean and dirty all seeming to merge together). It hasn't mattered up until this point b/c pajamas is all that I've worn for months now. My life is truly sucking (or maybe I'm just getting really depressed about things).
So I'm joining the Fly Lady list again and I'm going to get started trying to build a normal life for myself. I have so much to do to get this house in order and I have no idea where I"m going to start, what to even do. I'm a mess. There are boxes full of, God I don't even know what, in the kitchen. The garage (which happens to be HUGE six car) is full of crap and we still have a storage unit in Kalamazoo as well. WAY too much stuff for people who live in a trailer for the time being.
I figure if I can start out with the basic tenets of the "FLY system" (Dressing to the shoes, shining your sink, making your bed) every day, I'm getting a start. I think that being in bed constantly has been wreaking havoc on me. I also think that, as much as I really am in horrific pain much of the time, a lot of it is becoming just being used to doing nothing and becoming more and more lazy. I'm tired of feeling useless...I'm tired of being useless. I just don't know how to stay motivated...HELP!!!
