Update on my MBO (maximum burn out) - Thanks to all who responded..

[NYSue]

You ladies are awesome - your sweet responses brought tears to my eyes!

Well, today actually went okay. After the initial panic, I managed to gather my materials, make my copies, and leave the house on time. The science classes went well and I survived.

Also, my monthly friend came so the reign of terror is over (hopefully) for the next three weeks or so.

I have decided that the next four days are reserved for me to get my life organized. I think my biggest problem is the disorder in my homeschooling, my house, my "life". I cannot focus in chaos. I spoke with dss and told them I need to have these days to put things in order. They will do school on their own and help out when needed. Hopefully, by Monday, I will feel a little more in control.

Thank you - it feels good to know I can come and vent and not be judged.

Hugs to you all!

You know that is exactly what I have to realize. Chaos drives me nuts. We are remodeling the kitchen and it somehow disrupted my entire life. Yesterday I finally made myself sort the living room which holds all of the stuff that the dining/homeschool room held before it was invaded by some of what was in the kitchen. Lo and behold today I could actually think straight in here and have gotten more done. Also if things aren't tidy I feel like I can't stop and do a me time thing because look at the house. That causes more angst too. I am so glad you are doing better. Good luck with the organizing. I know you will find peace in it.
