December caught up with me and whacked me round the head to remind me I'm not up to live as a normal person and I should stop trying to pretend I am!!!
I knew 2007 would start slowly and with lots of rest required, but I never quite expected everything that came my way.
Mind you I have had added stress for other factors all within this month that have just compounded on top of everything that was left over from December.
So all in all it left me feeling rather down as well as wiped out.
Thankfully I'm starting to climb out the other side and today I have almost felt human again (I did say almost!!!)
I've been watching too much 'Anthea Turner Perfect Housewife' & now every time I throw out junk from a room I'm 'Anthearing' the room according to everyone here, the truth is if I was to do that then there would be not a lot left in each room as most of it would end up in the bin, at a charity shop or put away in a cupboard or the loft, with a few (& I mean select few) items left on display.
Now tempting as this may sound I don't have the emotional or physical strength to do this properly so a minor attempt will have to do.
So far I have thrown out 3 bin bags of rubbish and I have 2 more bin bags to give away, and I still haven't done much at all.
You never know by the end of the year I may have completed the house to my level of clearing (less strict than Anthea), which will help reduce the amount of housework needing to be done or make the jobs to do easier. This may even mean the jobs get done by the kids and hubby????
Well I'm not holding my breath, I like living even if I can't do all I want to.
So slow and stead is the key, I'm going to be the cleaning tortoise who sorts out stuff around the others doing their jobs, lets just hope they do find stuff easier to do with all I'm trying to do to help them.
Next task is to sort out all my photos into albums or boxes so they don't fall everywhere................ Wish me luck.
First thou is some sleep to recover from today, and to include some rest tomorrow....
