Major issue here.

Last night we were laying in bed and it was just eating away at my husband's soul that our room was a wreck. By wreck I mean, Laundry in baskets everywhere. It's hard to find what you need when it's not organized. I completely understand his frustration; he was not able to find what he was looking for and today was an important day for us. In anger he took it out on me because I am a SAHM and this partially should of been taken care of. By partially I'm suggesting that this is a nearly impossible task and makes me want to poke my eyeballs out. Let me show you what I mean...

Hubby's clothes take up an entire closet, 4 shelfs, underneath the tv & still fill 2 baskets...

My clothes take up an entire closet & 2 drawers. 
(these closets are like teeny tiny people; that's another frustration just in itself!)

Keep in mind I threw out an entire bag of old clothes that neither of us wear anymore. So there goes like 20 articles of clothing right there. I did this a few week ago too.
Also realize we have a washer FULL of clothes that need a home.

It might look like we have a ton of clothes, but we don't. I promise. Bryce may have a few too many t-shirts and gym shorts, but we are actually lacking big time in the clothing department. We both could use an entire wardrobe make-over. We are holding onto clothes from years back, just so we don't spend more money.

So the problem I have is not keeping up with the washings, but it's folding the clothes, because after I do so they stay in laundry baskets on the floor. There is absolutely no more room to shove this clothes. The clothes in our closets are so snug that I don't think I could fit another hanger in there if I wanted to. We are out of room in our bedroom and actually everywhere in entire house. This my friends is a big reason I'm soooo excited that moving is in our near future!!!


Phew, glad that's off my chest; now I'm about to have a really good day!

How to get out of a slump?!

It can happen to any one of us on occasion and right now its happening to me...I was so busy preparing for the wedding, packing for our honeymoon, planning A's first birthday party. Now it suddenly seem to have come to a screeching halt and frustration is settling in. A sense of the blues even, well kinda-sorta, It's not like i'm depressed or have any reason to be bored, but I am just thinking "what now, what's next." When you're in a slump, it's not pleasant. If I can tell i'm not up to par, then i'm sure my hubby is losing his mind!  {It feels like 24/7 PMS, not cool} In fact, it can be confusing and hard to feel motivated to do anything more than feel stuck. However, my general feeling of malaise and dissatisfaction with myself is telling me something, it's telling me it's time to reroute my direction and start finding a new pathway to a brighter future for myself.  I think everyone can aim for bettering themselves. I love, love, love being a SAHM. I feel like the most privileged person in the world. So it's not that I'm needing a job if that's what your thinking. I know my journey to pick myself up and out of this slump is going to be a very personal and internally guided one, provided that I trust my own voice and the advice of others. For starters I need to relax, enjoy the small things in life; more does not mean better! I need to distant myself from the things creating this slump (still trying to figure out what those are though). I need to get inspired and crafty; I need to create new goals and hold myself accountable for those goals and I need to re-inject excitement into my life! Don't take me wrong, I'm a totally happy person and I love life, my daughter, my husband, & my entire family; I'm just putting my thoughts from this overactive brain onto paper! I need that. Writing helps me, thanks for listening to me vent (;
Have you ever been in a slump? What gets you out? What did you do to fill your time? I think it just comes down to that I'm a super duper busy body & I love having things to do & no... cleaning is not one of them!! ahem!



Thanks for listening to such babble,
Jayme

P.S. I've taken some medicine to help me have a monthly cycle the past few months, I think that might be taking a tole on these hormones of mine!!!
