I have my doubts, too. It was a relief I cannot describe to realize I'm SO not alone in these feelings! We just left the country due to our ranch being foreclosed on (unfairly, but oh well), so we are smashed in a duplex in the city & I am so overwhelmed. I, too, just buried my mother in law, and have special needs kids to tend to in addition to other things. It gives me some sanity to even read FlyLady, as Tstorm said, yet my life like yours has gotten SO much more complicated than it was many children ago when I used to be able to "handle it" re: cleaning/organizing. Now I am older, more tired, and almost baffled at how hard this has gotten! I am not really complaining; God will help me, but when I hear some tough older birds telling me "just do it", I truly wonder "HOW?" sometimes. Thanks again for being so honest...it has helped me feel like there's one other soul out there inching along like me instead of leaping, and that is somehow comforting! Hang in there! We can focus on what we DID do today I think, and maybe no one will notice, but WE will, and He will, and that little boost may give us enough to do one more teeny thing. Who knows? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224207025763795195.post-87844858515918960642011-03-07T13:35:13.150-06:002011-03-07T13:35:13.150-06:00well a few weeks ago I dragged out my old control ...well a few weeks ago I dragged out my old control journal .... and I'm doing well to look at it each day .. : ( ---- and sorry but Fly lady will never ever get me to forego my bare feet .. but in the past I can say that while dealing with mom's daily doctor visits .... running a business in the ghetto ... and other such things ...that FLYing kept what little sanity I had left intact . hang in there ...and KUDOS to you for starting up again .
