House woes

I'm so sick of having a house that is in constant disarray. It's completely overwhelming...so much that I just sit in despair feeling as if I can't do a thing about it. It has been awful for over a year now. It puts me in a bad mood...and I can't relax, but I can't seem to find motivation to work because I feel it never does a bit of good. So this runs over into my relationship with Jeremy because I'm just in an all-around icky mood when I'm home. I get frustrated that we haven't found a way to work together to keep the house in a decent condition. And now I'm even more frustrated with it all because Layla is more mobile and I can never put her down to play because there's no room (and, I feel, unsafe). In turn, I feel like I'm impairing her ability to crawl.

We can never have people over...and I would be utterly embarrassed if someone were to stop by unexpectedly. This has happened at least once in the recent past.

I don't want to live this way!!!

I want to be able to relax in my house. I want to have people over. I want to give my daugther the best environment for her development.

On a lighter note, I lost another 1.5 pounds this week. That puts me at 4.5 and counting!

Hey Jessica! I don't know what to tell you about your house, but GO on the weightloss! THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

What are you doing differently? I would love to start eating healthier, because at this point there just isn't a free moment in the day to exercise.

Keep it up, that is AWESOME!!!

way to go jessica! keep up the hard work!

i understand what you mean about your house. i feel the same way sometimes about ours, especially because it just doesn't seem like there is enough time in the day to get everything done that i want to! just try to tackle one room at a time.

I haven't done one bit of exercising yet...I know once I do the weight will come off much more quickly. I've just been more conscious about what I eat...and went back to the Lean Cuisines for lunch. I'm by no means strict, though!

I was down to 5lbs even Thursday! However, with the long weekend spent traveling, I'm not so sure I'll have positive....or should I say negative...results this week. We'll see.

I've got an idea. I've been the same way with my house and I propose that I come over and help you, and then you come over and help me. That way we aren't getting upset about working alone and when get some nice companionship in...let me know, I'm free this weekend! :)
