The oh well maybe I ought to calm this down diary entry.


I think I'm doing too much.

but how do you stop?

The washing still needs doing, so does the cooking. the dusting can sod off for most of the time - I need to make it worth my while after all.

There's so much to do and so little time!! I did sort out this weekend so it wasn't too busy!! Tomorrow I "only" have to take my son to swimming. Then I'm taking him to the climbing wall for his first 2 hour session 6->8pm because he is really up for it and at only £2 more for an extra hours tuition I would be a fool not to do it. I'm going there with my mate at the same time but won't be pushing myself as I have to conserve something for sunday...
I'll do the ironing and that sort of thing in the day. it's no big deal if I get it done I can have a quieter Sunday afternoon.
I'm doing the first Vets race on Sunday morning - so no lie in either day. My friend is taking the kids ice skating whilst I run.

I'm more stressed than I like - my work is so reactive at the moment - and both of us changing our jobs within days of each other really throws us up against each other and our partnership.
I won't be sure I've made the right decison for a few months - it takes that long for a change in my routine to really show what it's made of. I feel I've had to make a choice between easy routine for the family and unfulfilling work. Now things may be a bit harder as I should be doing work that is more challenging - more exposed in terms of profile and also a longer commute and will require organisation and for us to pull together as a family unit.

Guess I'll let you know in 3-4 months time if I've been a twit and should have take the easier but boring ride to a dead end instead.


Oh we are meant to be building raised beds this weekend - I can't see it happening - the hub needs to unwind between job moves and well I'm fairly busy but I bet we both beat each other up for not doing it... Next weekend looks manic too .... will we get a veg garden this year?

Sue's Gravatar I have exactly the same problem and also took on a more demanding job. I think we become driven, a duck job, saying you must do...xyz. the fact is that you don't but I recognise how powerful the compulsion can be. I also don't have an answer so hope that others can come up with some useful suggestions for both of us. In the meantime chill (yes I know chance would be a fine thing) !!!!!!!

katfrin's Gravatar Can't afford one I'm afraid.

besides I'd have to tidy up first.
