Over "IT"

Do You ever find yourself saying I'm OVER IT, not really having a clue what the "IT" is. I mean you know I don't want to do the laundry or dishes but I'm talking about just falling onto the couch saying I'm over it. I literally just did this and decided to get up and write this blog because I wanted to know am I alone? Do people feel the same way as me or do we know what this "IT" is that I'm over? I guess I could assume the "IT" is just all the chaos in my life. I'm over the responsibilities, I love being a mom but I need a break. Im tired and overworked, mentally and physically. Im so patient with the baby that I become so irritated by the end of the day and not at the baby at myself, at my husband even the dogs. Does this happen to anyone else like does it get better or is this just my life and I get use to it? I don't want people to think I don't love my baby, my husband or my dogs I'm just tired. Tired of the laundry, tired of the dishes, Tired of cleaning the floors everyday, Just plain tired. What is this little time clock in my head that goes off every time I try to sit down and regroup myself. Every time I sit down its like screaming in my head get up and clean the house, you have so much to do, this house is a mess. I just want to turn the clock off and relax thats all.


I could be over trying to make my house look like I don't have three dogs, a baby and a man child living here. One thing I have been reading is that basically if you want your house to be clean all the time there are some ways to keep it up. I know we should all be striving to have a clean house for sanitary reasons but if you find yourself judging someone over their house, are you really friends with them? I have also read that there is this rule the "one touch rule " and its basically If you pick up milk and you use it, then you put it back do not place it down on the counter. This is just a example but you get my point. You eliminate the re-picking up and just take the extra couple seconds to put it back. The other thing that I read was to make sure you do all the dishes the night before and make your bed every morning. (this one I cant get on board with, when I'm ready for bed I'm going to bed, Period). I've also heard of not having a junk drawer, having one encourages clutter. which ever method you use (or don't ) just know were all tired and we all don't want to do it but we are all suffering!


Lately I have been feeling as if I am so tired and not patient with the baby, which is not like me at all. I have been trying to come to the bottom of what is dragging on me or my subconscious but I just can't figure it out. I have been working a little at trying to chip away this feeling each day, whether its with a nice warm shower or going to the gym, just a little something for me each day. I never really realized how much the gym impacted my life since I stopped (whispers 3-4 years ago). I know this sounds contradicting but I have so much more energy and since I am losing weight my clothes fit so much better, I have gained so much more confidence. Since I started the gym I have been recording and taking pictures of my progress and workouts. I will be posting a little at a time unless people are interested in more. I honestly just feel so happy when I post things and it helps people! So don't be shy, reach out to me and ill tell you anything you want to know. I know this blog was all over the place but again these blogs are treated as a diary and so they are an extension of my thoughts. At the bottom of this page I am going to tag my other website that has my amazon links for wishlist and what not. I am also going to post the book that I just ordered from amazon if anyone is interested in reading it. this book is based off a true story ( actually a few minutes from me)and from everyone I talk to is a great read. Now that I have got all my thoughts down I want you all to have a blessed day and I don't just say it, I really truly mean it. Even if I don't know you, if you are hanging by a thread I see you and storms don't last forever, the sun will eventually shine. As always keep it real and until net time.

P.s. Also the reason these last two post have taken forever is because someone hacked my IG account and I was afraid to post until I got everything removed and secured. <3
