Awwww missy we all feel like this sometimes I find the thing that gets me through the week is mum and toddler group it's amazing dont know what I ever did before it, it gives me a reason to get up and ready in the morning I go Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and its only £1 a session. Do you not have anything similar in your area?

As for the getting the house organised don't put so much pressure on yourself, I've started to do the daily jobs first thing as in kitchen, washing on, polish and hoovering all downstairs once that is done I try to do a couple of the extra jobs, ie bedding change, bathroom, sorting a cupboard or some drawers out, that way things are always on top of and progress is being made. Another thing I try to do is make sure things a tidy before I go to bed as in all the toys are away, pots in the dishwasher it some how doesn't seem as daunting that way.

Hope this helps, it certainly helps me xx

Aww thanks bells, think its all just getting on top of me, being pregnant, trying to do my degree and look after roo all without OH most of the time. I think I'll feel better once my assignment is done.

OK I've done an hour, feel slightly more like I'm getting somewhere, am knackered though, eventhough I had a sleep earlier.

Have a rest hun. Doing a degree, looking after a little one and being pregnant are all hard as stand alone things. But all at once.......exhausting.
Routines are very good but don't be disheartened if you don't get all your jobs done.
I have a few bits i do daily, a few bits weekly and the rest when i have time and the house is slowly improving!!! L2B.x

Thanks L2B, I'm trying

Think I might call it a day on my assignment, I've got 2 more nights to work on it. God it's hard, I don't really understand poetry, as much as I love reading it.

I'm supposed to be going to baby swimming at 9.30 tomorrow, along with buggy fit tomorrow afternoon, but I can't say I really fancy doing either, the snow is still a good few inches thick, with freezing temperatures tonight, so ice on the road me thinks. The thing is I know Roo will love the swimming and I really like the social side of it. We'll see how together I am by 9.10 tomorrow, hmmm thinking about how early that is, not very!!

Right going to sit down and watch mirander as I missed it yesterday, speak soon

omg having huge family issues, am so stressed its unreal, really shouldnt be dealing with this right now.....

Don't know if this is really very helpful but one of the things I remember from school is that poetry is first for feeling, rather than understanding.

If you think about how you feel reading it (aloud helps!), then you can understand what the poet is trying to say/make you feel, and then you go back and do the analysis bit about why that word/series of words/rhythm/repitition makes you feel that.

Does that make sense?!

Hope the family stuff resolves itself

Logging on just to say be kinder to yourself my lovely. You are doing amazing being that you are on your own majority of the time, have roo and doing a degree. You are bound to have meltdown moments.

Try not to get too caught up with the routine thing - just do what you can when you can and perhaps make staple things like dishes, clearing kitchen, 1 wash load a daily routine and fit the rest in when you can. Don't want you to crash and burn.

I make it a rule to go to bed on a clear and clean kitchen as it makes my next day far easier.

Sorry to hear about family issues hon. Sound off if you like, we are all hear to listen (I will log on ). IS this still from your brother not talking to you?

Take care, big hugs!!!

Hi,

Hope you are ok.Sounds like you have a lot of stress at the moment.

I agree with trying not to pressure yourself too much . With the housework i only do the basics daily eg washing up and wiping surfaces on a work day. On my 3 days off i usually do things like cleaning bathroom, hoovering etc. Thngs like cleaning bathrooms i do while LO is asleep and she has her own toy hoover now so she plays with that while i hoover.
