It's challenging working all day, commuting an hour to and from work, and coming home to work more and tending to family needs. I've started by working at the cleaning a bit each day M-F, Sat. I prep. for Sunday School lesson. While it is important to spend time with family, it is also important to have time to yourself to replenish and revitalize. Sunday afternoon is me time. I spend 15 min or so making lists/planning out what needs to be done for the next week in addition to the cleaning. Then, I do something I want to do, sewing, reading, sleeping, time with friends, drawing patterns for projects, etc. Sometimes the other half can have a point, but negativity needs to be pointed out and ridded by all. Encouragement and many hands helping to make light work can breed happiness and a closer knit family. I find this helps build my enthusiasm toward my projects and picking up the seemripper doesn't bother me so much. Hope this helps!
