Definitely go to the retreat so that you can be inspired and relax by sewing. Housework can wait or either hire someone on a part-time basis to help out. I use to have someone come every 2 weeks and do the mopping and heavy cleaning. It was expensive but I couldn't do it because of health issues. Now, DH just does it as I can only do light housework. You may need to re-prioritize or start using the NO word when asked to do something. Just some thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-87912351592873741492007-09-29T22:15:00.000-04:002007-09-29T22:15:00.000-04:00Oh dear. I feel your pain.

The stress of the overwhelming list of things to do would crumple me, so I totally feel your pain.<BR/><BR/>I also feel somewhat guilty that I resigned as your co-leader - but I wouldn't be able to lead on the 13th anyway - my daughter's baby shower. <BR/><BR/>My vote is cancel the meeting - do NOT give up going to the retreat! There are other neighborhood groups that people can go to. <BR/><BR/>You will be my hero if you accomplish even one third of what's on that list!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-32500957687805810722007-09-29T20:08:00.000-04:002007-09-29T20:08:00.000-04:00No, you're not a freak.

If I don't, I become frozen and don't do anything because there's so much, I don't know where to start.<BR/><BR/>If you can afford to hire someone to help with the housework, it is well worth it. I recently hired someone and even though I'm paying her more per hour than I make myself, I consider it worth the peace of mind and energy left for me to do other things. Plus, it's helping her financially. At first I felt terribly guilty about having someone else do my housework, but what a relief!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-83214222893169829382007-09-29T17:56:00.000-04:002007-09-29T17:56:00.000-04:00Wow, I found someone with a "to do" list of obliga...Wow, I found someone with a "to do" list of obligations longer than mine!
