So - I'm just sitting on the couch, thinking of ALL the things I still have to do/clean for Pesach, and instead of DOING them, I'm just sitting and worrying about it.....

Help!
What's wrong with me?
I cleaned my house today, like I do when I clean it during the year: washed the floors, stove-top, counters, folded tons of laundry etc.....
and, I'm just so exausted!!!!!!

A cleaning lady was supposed to come to me: Sunday, Today and Thursday, but - she never showed up, and it doesn't look like she will.... So, I really have to get my act together!!

Is anybody else spacing out instead of working??????????????

Mishie, take a page out of the 12 step book:
One step at a time.
One room at a time.
And then after you do 1 hour of work -- set your timer, come back to Imamother and REWARD yourself with 5 minutes online.

Then back again to work, and then back again for a reward.

And if you're working and on a roll [pesachdik one, of course!] , and don't feel like rewarding yourself, keep going!!!

I'tll happen.

I’m totally calm! I have a cleaning lady here for the third time, and she is almost done with the kitchen while I’m sitting and having a ball. I’m calling all thee stores, making phone orders, it’s too much fun! Go out, have a coffee!

Humor - I wish I had a cleaning lady.....
I don't see her anywhere? is she here?

Anyway, my point is, I have to do it all myself, DH has to work, he gets back very late, plus, all my kids are home....

(I need some little elves to show-up at my door....)

Thank Gd for my cleaning lady, BH everything is practically done, just have my kitchen left...

Mishie- Totally take one step at a time. How about finding anew lady in the meantime, maybe you can borrow your friends for a couple hrs.
