Sounds like you need to take a few days off and just try to chill. Take care of a few things and then worry about the workouts and stuff. I've had to do that several times while in school. It's tough, but you need a break. Your body can not tell the difference between emtional and physical stress, so don't take on so much or you'll find you are further behind from where you started. My a list of things you need to do and then prioritize them. Knock a few things off that first then work on the rest. I use to go to school and run this house, take care of my kids alone then work out at like 10pm. I hated it. So I re worked somethings and figured that my house looking perfect was not a top thing, getting strong was, so something didn't get done daily. Tough **** it was always there the next day, and the boys always made a new mess for me to clean. You need to chill before you end up sick- your body telling you to slow the hell down. So take it easy :D

u put things in places so very beautifully and u understand what i mean...u are a real life inspiration,i know u have been through this too..so i can totally trsut what u say
i take care fof this 3 years monster(my love) who have more energies than me,and llucky he get s a nap and gets fresh as if he was never tired..running after him picking things up putting them back,training him teaching him,bathing him,playing with him,and doing evry little thing for him , home myself is hard..my mom used to come over and take care of him while i could just sit back and relax for a couple of hours she is busy these days...and i so need an extra hnd,sometime being a clean freak doesnt help much:(
ust did 40 minutes of weight training and he woke up after a short name i just couldnt relax then i had to cook ,feed him and what not...
aaah
i wish there were never summers so there was no"summer holidays"..
 
Just wait until he gets into school, then you'll wish he was younger again. Trust me, going thru it right now. My daughter will be in kindergarten:eek: Time flies!
 
Slim my guys are off to, I'll say this though when he naps....get your ass on the couch!!! Forget cleaning up, he is just going to make another mess when he gets up. Leave that til after he goes to bed. Can you get a membership at the y?? they have programs in the morning that he can play in and you can work out!! Thats my saving grace!! Ok more in a bit..
 
Ok now I'm going to take it that you are a single mom such as myself. If thats the case then what you need to do is stop, take a big breath and make that list. Include daily tasks on one side and goals on the other. Then list in order of importance each side on its own. See what you can pare down on. For example I used to wash my floors on a nightly basis, now they get washed every three or four days, my bathroom and kitchen get scrubbed daily but with little boys that is a definate must do.Ya I know its nice when everything is perfect but guess what life ain't perfect and you getting sick and freacked out is not worth the perfect image. You could also try to work out a deal with some of the other mom's. Do a rotating playdate. Trust me there are ways to get a little bit of time to workout or take a wee break. Trust me getting way over stressed and not getting enough r&r will catch up to you. I'm the 90 mile an hour mom, but I workout 4 days a week. Thats my time for me, I love it. I pay for a membership at the y for my kids and myself, that gives me the time to go workout while they play with friends and low off steam. I also take the boys to the park daily for like 4 hours at a time, my house stays cleaner and the boys tire themselves out. That makes bed time much easier. You can not do it all and you can not do it alone. Trust me you need support.See if mom can overnight your little guy once or twice a month, so you can indulge in a a hot bubble bath and some quiet time to read a book. Trust me I just about burnt myself out doing school work and all the projects for it, plus rideouts (full time job at 18 plus hours a day) and studying for exams and provincal testing, taking care of my kids and trying to have a relationship. Guess what it doesn't work, I was exhausted, sad, frustrated and just felt horrible. I made some changes and re worked my life so that the big stuff got done and the little stuff was done when I felt like it. I switched my workouts to 3 days a week of ful body stuff and just let it fly. Sometimes you just have to ride with what life gives you and try to make the best of it. And a little dirt and disorder never killed anyone. You are human stop trying to be everything, superwoman what a comic book heroine, she is not real, no woman alive can do it all and still be heathly. Your child needs you to be healthy and happy. That is your number one priority, nothing else. If you fail that your child may lose you, that is not an option. So slow down Slim, enjoy life, step back and take a good look around, that overgrown grass by the ditch, you know the one full of weeds, damn weeds are beautiful if you look at them closely, sometimes leaving things can give you nice surprises. Like getting your life back on track! Whew ok there done! Please listen to the voice of experience, Slow Down, You are the most important thing You NEED to worry about! :D Pm me anytime you need a vent or voice of reason :D

Hi
I am back
i have been through alot last few days..the list is so long i cant even put it in here:p
was just going through a bad phase that is setteled down a bit now:)

Thanks jenn u are right i really need someone to help ,but there is no concept of Y here...and i have no kids his age around to make a playdate
i sent him to his grandfathers place on firday for an hour or so..and did my chores 30 minutes on Tm,and weight training
saturday night we had a power failure..and sunday was busy couldnt workout two consective days..but i am determined to do so today:)
 
Also i am going"cold turkey "this tine around,as far as smoking is oncerned,,i had a whole pack over the weekend:(
 
ok it wasnt very clean cold turky:|smoked one cig but felt sick aftter that..its 3 am son just slept and lit another cig to unwind..but couldnt take second puff and threw it away
*thanks to some hormon pills i took today:p*
 
oh btw,its 3 am and i am tired like anything,means no workout today too:(
will try to wake up before kid and do my workouts hopefully
 
Overeating happens because you want to do something w/your hands. Eat healthy instead of junk and it should be ok. Taking one or two puffs and then not wanting it is what I went thru along w/the dizziness and what not. It's just a part of quitting. You'll eventually not want one later on. Get back on track when you can.
 
Sadie, what are you doing up at 3 a.m.? You need your sleep. Ok, here is my two cents. I have one of those calendar things in my purse and I affectionally call it "MyBrain". I write everything in it, I even pencil in "gym" like I'm gonna forget right? lol.

I try to do only one major chore per day (aside from the everyday picking up). For example, yesterday I went home and the first thing I did was put on my apron and started cleaning out my fridge, you know how dirty they can get with kids--spills, things shoved in the corners, yuk!

Today, I'm going to scrub my kitchen floors! and vacuum the living room. May fold some clothes (ok, that's three, but much easier) I hate those too. The next day I may clean out the bathtroom...

It's a neverending battle and it sucks but like Jenn said if something doesn't get done no one is going to die from it. You may be a little embarrased if someone stops by but I've never actually *died* of embarrasment!!

Take it one day at a time hon!
 
Moonbeam:
i just want very thing to be inits place..as i am finished folding the piles of laundry the next thing is my son has messed up with it even before i could keep them in cuboards
and its i so true and funny also that no one "dies"of embarresment
but u know what ??when unexpected guests arrive..i ask whose there?and start picking up the most visible mess my son has made and then open the door when its a bit presntable:) and still feel embarresed.

thanks for dropping by:)

ok went to barber to get my sons hair cut and on my way back home he slept he didnt take a nap today but slept at 8..but i know he will be up in 2/3 hours:|
right now its 10 Pm..and i have to cook,clean the room since my bedroom is just all clutters now
building blocks every where and sons toys are sitting right nextto me...then i have to workout and sleep...IF he doesnt get up

ate so much junk today ..4 Large sandwhiches..choclates...diet sodas. and list goes on and on
i wonder where it all goes?:eek:
since i didnt even gain an oz in last two weeks of poor eating
i think i should just move m butt now and hop on TM
Tc everyone:)
