Progression – Or Lack There Of

So as you know I gave up weekend posting on the first of the year as my plan to get more accomplished all around. It was working really well (well for the 2 weeks in) until I left for vacation and now I’ve fallen behind again. Everywhere I turn there are massive piles of things to do.
Work is crazy busy, I’ve been putting in 10 hour days now that I’m home and I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. At least not for 6 weeks when our busy season passes.
I haven’t been very motivated to clean since we’ve gotten back. My house is so messy and I need to jump on it.
I came home to 5000+ emails in my comment account and 200+ emails in my regular account. If you’re waiting for a response from me please be patient. I’m going through them as fast as possible.
I’m so happy I made the change to not do crazy posting on the weekends because it lets me spend my time on the computer prepping reviews & giveaways for the days I’m at work and not feel like I’m on a time crunch as much. Working with Dee makes it so I feel I owe it to her to always be ready when she is and while I haven’t yet let her down, or you guys down, I’d hate to crash and burn.

So, I wonder when you feel like the walls are falling in from all angles what do you do to get yourself motivated again?
I feel like I can’t get focused since I came home and I’m consistently irritated and well, a complete b**** these days as I feel stressed out. The people I’ve been taking it out on aren’t even the people I’m upset with.

What do you do to stay on top of household responsibilities?
I feel like I can clean a room and walk away and 2 minutes later its a mess again. Luckily Johnny is at age of doing chores so I’ve given him a few chores to help my load a bit since I’m soley responsible for everything at home. I so drool when I run to the grocery store and see a friends husband there. I wish mine would do that!

I also want to apologize for my lack in not responding to comments on my blog. Do to the increase in entries in contests I had to direct them all to another email account to stay on top off other emails making them more “our of sight/out of mind” thing. It is not intentional. While I don’t always get back to you I hope you know I read each and every comment left on this blog. I visit many of your blogs but often don’t leave comments so please don’t think I’m not paying attention because I am! I actually love getting to know you all better as I see many more familiar faces returning each week.

Speaking of each week I plan on posting one post each weekend. It will always be personal and I will always make it to encourage comments as I love hearing all of your takes on things.

Have a great weekend!
