OT: I'm feeling really bad now

I feel horrible.  Hubby came home from work an hour or so ago and the house is a mess and the kids are arguing and fighting with each other. I've been so consumed with this website...  reading posts from various message boards, WLS stories, looking at before/after photos, etc...  That just makes me feel guilty. I have been working for the past 3 years and the house has gotten out of control.  I used to keep a clean house and now it is just so cluttery.  I was always so tired after working, I took Saturday's off to do NOTHING, and then Sunday was my laundry day... I've been unemployed less than a month and I'm still not keeping up with my house because I'm so consumed with wls, insurance, this website, etc...   I just felt really bad when hubby walked in and the same basket of wrinkled clothes was still sitting where it was this morning.  The same dishes (plus more) were in the sink waiting for me to unload and reload the dishwasher.   I'm probably giving TMI.  But, I just wanted to say that I want to turn my computer off tonight and not turn it on until my house is picked up tomorrow and at least a couple loads of laundry are done. I can't have hubby working all day long while I sit here on the computer on my fat butt and not do any housework... OK...  now, instead of crying myself a river, I think I'll log off and get to bed early and work on my house tomorrow. I'll catch up on the boards Wednesday :o) dot*

I've been there and I've done the exact same thing.  At that point, I, too, turned off the computer and wouldn't allow myself back on until the house was tidied. You just have to remember...the posts will always be here.  You can go back 2-3 days worth and catch up and the posts will still be here.  Unfortunately, though, so will the laundry  See you on Wednesday!  We'll be here for you when you come back.

I guess I should take it to heart and clean my house... Gosh, I feel so down in the dumps...depressed now.  I really do need to clean up the house...but not tonight!  Tonja

My house is always a pit.  I've just got more interesting things to do, but I do want to be more orderly so I am going to make a more concerted effort to straighten, get rid of, etc.  I'm always torn between I really don't care and thinking if it were nice and neat I would get more done and feel less guilty, depressed about it. I've been unemployed since June, I have no kids at home and I'm still behind on the laundry.  But the time I'm spending here on this website, and soul searching etc, is important time too.  It's good to put some discipline on yourself and straighten your house, but don't beat yourself up too badly about spending some time with yourself.

Hun I do not believe that there is single person out there that has not gotten absorbed into this site. Or at less I can say that in the begining I was on here alot. Now I feel bad cause I am not here  as I was.....but I promised  I will be. To me there is more important things in life than a clean house....ok I am a compluisve cleaner....but if people dont like what it looks like they dont have to come and see it. Take some time and do what you think is right we arent going any where... PS I have a basket of laundry that needs doen if u wanna volunteer.

I love reading the posts and peoples stories.. i am always hollering at my aunt to come look... and i am starting to think she isnt as amazed as i am....lol .. 

I still haven't been doing a very good job of getting caught up on things...  I just always seem so tired...  I think I could sleep for 48 hours straight and not know a thing! I'll be around, but I'm trying to limit my computer time until I get more caught up on things. ttyl Dot*
