Mess

I'm a mess. My house is a mess. The yard is a mess. The animal paddocks are a mess. Life is a mess.

There is not one surface in my home that you can see. Every one of the surfaces are buried alive and you can almost hear them moaning and groaning under the weight of the mess. I'm a mess. Tootsie just jumped on me with dirty paws and messed up my nice white tee shirt. I was dressed and ready to go and vote but I'm now a mess. My hair is a mess because I didn't wash it this morning I just brushed it back in a pony tail and was done with it. Life is a mess because I stayed in my jammies until 1 p.m. like what is that all about? The animal paddocks are a mess with poo all over the place and no green grass because everything is covered in old hay from the winter. Right! Everything is a total mess.

What am I doing about the mess? I have no energy to even think about the mess. I'm too busy trying to not pee in my pants every time I have a coughing fit. Yesterday I had a coughing fit so bad that I had wetness at every nasty spot on my body. WTMI (way too much information??? Then read another blog. Get over it. I've got a cough and I'm not feeling all that great.... maybe that's why I'm in such a crotchity mood. The worst thing is.... I'm getting nothing done. With TC, TCMM, and TCH, not here this week I thought I would be able to get our lives back to normal.... at least a little normal.... clean anyway.... but there is still sawdust everywhere and junk everywhere. The saw dust is getting cleaned up slowly but the junk is the age old story.... what do I do with it??? There is no shelf to put it in and there is no cupboard to put it in and so on. The kids come in through the door and drop everything in the front porch and Hubby comes in and drop his stuff all over the place and all I want to do it lie down. I hate coughs!

What I want to know is why can't I lie down when I get sick but everyone else gets to lie down and nap and snooze. Mike got sick when he had his surgery so he had a perfectly legitimate excuse for staying in bed. Daughter #1 slept for two days when she got the flu. Me on the other hand..... I keep cooking and cleaning and doing and I can't stop.... so my cough gets worse until yesterday I collapsed and started to cry.... I was so tired I slept all day till four o'clock and the kids and Hubby had to eat canned soup for supper. Life is a mess.

But I swear I'm going to clean it up..... even if it kills me!!!!

let them eat cans of soup way more often and tell them to leave you alone. (((( big hugs ))))

i know exactly how you feel, when it seems like everything's piling up.

i know it's my same comment i have left before, but i really do wish i could have a tea with you. i will probably call sometime soon. it is a stress-oh-rama around here at the moment.
