Poll of the Day > Need a vacation from the mundane.

(+) Yeah! (+)

My life has been busy as hell the last month or so. Work, house full of kids, keeping track of appointments and meetings, just a ton of stuff non stop.

But I feel the most aggravated and stressed when I'm doing the simple everyday chores. Doing dishes, cleaning the floors and all the damn laundry is making me insane. It will still be a few years before the kids are old enough to be responsible and help out. And no, I can't afford a maid.

I heard that writing down a list of what you need to do that day helps.
Not to organize things, but so you can look at it and go, "oh, it's not that much".

I need a vacation myself, but have to wait 2 months :(

Yeah I did this a few weeks ago when my sciatica put me out of commission for a couple of days. I made a list of all the stuff I needed to get done once I was better. It seemed long but I was able to check most things off and catch up in a couple of days.

I've used about two weeks of vacation time in the last six months. All of it was on days I needed to help bring one kid or another to a doctors or dentist appointment. When I take a week off next month, I will be doing home renovations.
