Then my washer flooded, which happens to be in the same room I am trying to clean out. I am making some headway with the laundry which felt insurmountable even before it was a soggy mess. Perhaps if I had more help like I had asked? Pointless to go there. I am trying to depend less on the kids.
Why am I depending less on them when things seem so out of control? Because when I depend on them to help it doesn't get done. I remind them again, still it isn't done then we both dig in our heals. If I am in the mind set that I am on my own, perhaps more will get done. Hence the shaking things up.
I am also trying to declutter, but that takes time. I have so many clothes that don't fit. I have been gaining weight again. Yea, me. I sent some scrubs to a pregnant coworker. Yes, I just admitted my too small scrubs are perfect for a developing baby belly. So I have my clothes, Alex's clothes she didn't want, her friends clothes all have to go. I was putting some off as they needed washed to donate and I didn't want to toss the good stuff. With everything a mess I am washing indiscriminately and tossing what is left. I still have to finish sorting the clean so it is on
