RE: Overcoming "messy house anxiety" through inspiration from a pioneer woman

in #health7 years ago

I feel your pain! The struggle is real. I get it even worse if we are going out of town. I literally vacuum as we back out the door. I list everything too. I list for the day, the week and month. I drive the hubs bonkers. I have learned to roll with it a little better since our lives have calmed down. Having no time before and just cramming in chores was definitely more stressful. I think as I have gotten older some of the things that used to bug me most, I don't care about anymore. For me, I have learned to plan and make realistic daily lists. I get anxiety from not finishing tasks so if I get everything completed on my list that is productive day and a good mood. We cannot be Superwomen 7/24 :)

No, we certainly can't! I haven't (yet) given up trying though ;) I burst out laughing at "I literally vacuum as we back out the door" because I do that kind of thing! The kids will be loaded in the car, while I'm washing cereal bowls and coffee cups because "I'm not coming home to dishes!"

Yes! Its like always having clean undies on 'in case'. If something hsppens to me I don't want my house to be an embarassment :) and I don't want to come home to a mess either.
