Ok super parent/guardians and family/friends. Let's talk about us as adults being overwhelmed and no don't be ashamed if your home looks like my pictures I am sharing from this past week. We as super caretakers have a huge responsibility and feeling overwhelmed is part of the job but figuring out how to overcome it is the key. Please no rude, hurtful or judgment comments because we all are just human and we have super humans to care for.Now let me explain why my kitchen and dinning room were the last of my worries this week. I have had both of my children home all week. I did tidy up the rest of the house all week but that was all I had time/energy for. Both sick, one with meltdowns because she could not regulate her emotions or explain how she was feeling, the other well he is a toddler and was vomitting and diarrhea all week. Oh yeah and both had super Snotty noses that never ended. I also caught whatever super virus my super humans passed onto me. Delilah started feeling better on Thursday but not well enough for school and Liam ended up on meds. So was my focus on my house or kids? I had to focus on my kids and work, so my house work got a little behind. So now I feel overwhelmed with having to clean everything up all on my own. I made my cleaning list of what I need to get done because that is how I deal with feeling overwhelmed. First on my list was the kids room, especially since no one has vomited since Thursday afternoon. So last night I changed all bedding yesterday, picked up all toys (I will sort and organize later), cleaned the carpets, washed all rugs and stuffed animals. Then I picked up the living room. Called it a night and got some sleep. Now today I will continue my list. Yes my list is detailed and I have shared a picture. I mark it off as I get it done and that way I know where to pick up if I have to stop for the day. This next week while the kids are at school it is back to my normal cleaning schedule and yes I am posting that as well.
