Monday Monday Monday.... ARGH!

I had written this post a while ago for The Imperfect Mum blog - but thought I'd put it here for now. Maybe if Kristy asks for it in the future...

Serious case of Monday-itis today! 

Had a full weekend, dropped the older kids to school this morning, and now home to this BOMB of a messy house! 

"Looks like a dog’s breakfast!" i can hear my dad say in my head!! ha ha! 

What happened here?!? How?!? I don't remember having a massive party at all, although it sure looks like it! Stuff everywhere!

I'm trying to get better at de-cluttering. Trying to have a place for everything - and i admit i sure am better than what i was - but mornings like this are terrible! What's the point of it all! Over it! Wanna chuck in the towel! (and I’m not talking 'doing washing' here, although that needs to be looked at too.... Argh!) 

That's a bad place to start thinking though.... and that's when i start to spiral. 

"Does anyone notice?"

"What's the point in cleaning, it's just gonna look the same tomorrow..."

“I can’t believe he left that there! I’ve told him soo many times!! (80/20! Ha ha!)

“Why is it always up to me?”

"I almost wish i had some sort of employment, cause then I'd have an excuse for it to look this way!"
"You're a full time mum Kelly, and you can't even keep the house in order!!"

.....down down down. 

Suck it up Kell (and once again, NOT in the vacuum sense! Although, that needs to be done too.....ARGH!!)

Snap out of it. You know where this leads, and NO ONE benefits from that!! Take a time out. Walk the yard. Look for truths. Positive ones. Dig out of this hole.

And today, my first positive was the ‘The Imperfect Mum’ community! There is some sort of lift in knowing we are not alone in this. I think that’s why facebook / twitter / social media is so addictive. Just to here someone else say:

“WE ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS!”

We were not made to be alone, which is why i think I.M keeps people coming back. There is peace in knowing someone else has been through the same pit we are in. So that we know we are not the only ones in this. 

Anyone out there hear me?? Anyone get me on this?? Anyone else get Monday-itis?!?! Can relate to the Bomb house pit??? Can i here a yes from someone?!?! Anyone?!??! Cause today, i need it!!

And now.... how do you get out?!? Tell me your secrets!! Share! Please!
