Thanks very much! My sickness is only a "sometimes" thing that I've been plagued with my whole life. I'm just happy that I do o.k. most of the time and I get a lot of stuff done then.

You'll get it all done. It always works out, although sometimes the "to do" list seems overwhelming when you have a specific time frame in which to get everything done.

Not to minimize your angst but you have a quilt looking back at you and a treadmill sending messages! I think it's time for that nap. :|

The reason I posted was just curiosity ... to see if there are many of you who are like me with too many choices because of too little time in which to accomplish everything. And how many of you feel like you must get everything else done before you can "reward" yourself with some sewing/quilting time.

just remember that stressed spelled backwards is Desserts so make you a big chocolate cake and relax. On a serious note I use to feel that way but now use quilting as a stress release so I try to get some quilting time between chores. I still don't get to sew as mush as I would like but I do sew a little each day, so be sure to take time for your self.

I understand his feeling of weariness since the women we have great it loads above. I suffer fibromialgia and the truth is that being employed out of house at an office and then the tasks of my cas, is terrible, sometimes we slacken and we are entered by a species of slightly special melancholy, so though the husbands want to help us, they I believe that they do not even see the dirt in house. I am glad the life with a grandson that I have of two years and a half but also I get tired very much if I am a lot of time with him.
In end, the age does not excuse and the life of the woman, is like that .......

Besitos

Probably past time!! (Does this mean that your inanimate objects don't send YOU messages?) I don't get stressed out, usually, but I have my moments and I was having a "moment" when I posted; however, I'm back to my usual "whatever will be, will be" attitude now.

ohh yeah, i feel like that most of the time! Seems everywhere I look something is calling my name, laundry dishes, weeding, vacuuming, etc. people say oh well just park and do it tomorrow. But what they don't realize is that tomorrow has just as many things already to do so don't want to add more. And then of course, my hubby (who is also ill) would like me to spend time with him too. Calgon take me away............

I agree with you. Clean, dust, mop and tomorrow who can tell? I clean often enough that our house won't be condemed. I like a clean house, just not enough to do it every day. I like to sew, sew, sew.

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. I'm feeling that way myself, right now.

No, my objects know better than to talk to me when I'm having a bad day -- they may get blamed! _:-)_ Glad to hear you're feeling better. Sharing does help to get over those "moments."
