I am also a bit despondant (sp?) at the thought of not being able to achieve stars. Which is really pathetic, I know.
Now I really know how the special needs kids at school feel when they never finish/catch up with others:( I always thought I knew how it felt or at least could empathise, its worse than I thought.

Anyway, I am off to be miserable tidying my room, knowing I won't complete it:(

oh dear poohbear that's made me feel really sad. I hope that there's enough differentiation for most kids to feel that they've achieved something, even if it's different from the others??

My DD3 was in the egg and spoon race today. She didn't drop her egg once.... she felt that she'd won the race because of that. She wasn't in the least concerned that she didn't cross the line first. :j

I hope you can feel you've achieved something, even if it's not completion. (((hugs)))

feefeelalabelle, OMG!!!!!!!!!! That is one heck of a list of accomplishments!!!! With a baby too!!! :T:T:T:T:T I cannot believe how much you've got done. The question is... why don't you feel you've achieved? I'm not surprised you feel dizzy and like poo. You've just worked a full shift, and now you've got another full shift to do. Angel, you should be feeling like a SUPERWOMAN!!!!! I'd say you need to do less, not more.

The only thing I'd advise, is to follow the list a day at a time, that way you'll focus your energy in one place, not do loads with nothing to show for your efforts!

Oh, and kick your OH for leaving pots for you to do as well as everything else!!!

feefee - pm me if you want a rant, your am premenstrual, knackered cos you have a little one, running a house and working - everyone would be feeling like you do at this precise moment. Get your fav music on really loud and dance like a nutter - believe me it works! xx

Sorry, I didn't mean to make other people feel sad. I am not really, just dragging my heels today. There are quite a lot of us 'special' people and without flylady i would probably not get out of bed some days.
:rotfl: That is why I leave the laptop downstairs so I have to get up and check my flylady list for today.:rotfl:

Maybe we need another section for 'special' lyladies. I jest, I think toots and pigpen and soappie have enough to do. They are all wonderful.

feefeel You sound like one of the supermums who work about 22 hours a day. You are doing a fantastic job so don't knock yourself. Today, you have done more than I do in a month! and you are going off to work soon.

I love your idea toochoosey. They look really special.

Welcome Prunella
Dusty - hope Woody's OK
Feefee - don't put yourself down - you've been doing loads!

The dog and I just walked up to the post office (another amazon sale and back and boy is it hot!

Tooch - I like the nappy cakes.
