When life gets in the way of living.

Your alarm goes off, you think about opening your eyes, and think about hitting snooze, but know you can’t.  Another day of going to work, doing the chores, hoping the family will finally step up and do their bit; but you already know the answer to that.  You start to wonder if life is always going to  change, or be in the way of you living the way you’d like it.

The future feels like a dream

You’re out of bed, made that first cuppa for the day, but then pop it down thinking, I’ll just pop a load of washing on, then you get distracted unpacking the dishwasher.  You go back to your cuppa and it’s cold.  You roll your eyes and decide it’s time for your shower.  You get to the bathroom and discover the eldest was in there before you and has left crap all over the sink, toothpaste on the sink, smears on the mirror and two…TWO bath towels on the floor.  Am I sounding familiar?  You wonder, does the future feel like a dream?  Now it’s like nightmare!

Why aren’t they listening?

You ask nicely to clean up after themselves. You ask them nicely to do their chores.  Yes, they pick up their game for a few days to a week, then the bad habits return, and you end up doing it all again.  You feel like screaming, why aren’t they listening?

The other half has become a man child.

You love your partner dearly, but you wonder if you’re in love with him or just love him because he’s your partner.  He’s a wonderful provider, affectionate with you, emotional connection is good.  He makes you laugh and does the lawns, does all the usual things a man in the 1950’s would have done.  But it’s the 21^st century, and the other half should be an equal partner, not have become a man child.

I don’t know how much longer I can cope!

You’ve just finished work for the day and now you must go home, knowing full well, the kids will be home from school, and they will have had snacks, left packets on the bench, plates in their bedroom or in front of the TV.  Dinner must be made and that won’t have been started.  You find a text from the other half as you hop in the car saying he must go to a mate’s house to help him with an issue and won’t be home til about 8.  By then you’re ready to scream and am tempted to just keep driving and driving until you’re far away.  You don’t know much longer you can cope! I’d be ready to scream too, infact I have screamed at all the above and actually escaped to my Mums for the night.  Do you have somewhere you can go for the night for an alone night?

I want things to change. 

How can I get them to listen, once and for all?  I need them to stop regressing into their old bad habits?  I want things to change or I’m going to leave or….

I’m a strong woman, I’m a brave woman, I can invoke the change I need to happen, I can regain the balance and be happy to get up and start my day!   Go you!!
