Never Ending Household Chores

So a woman's work is never finished...I believe that.

 

 

I often wonder where does the time goes?

 

 It seems like when I was working 8 to 10 hours a day, 6 days a week I had more than enough time to complete my full time work, keep up a 3 bedroom house, I raise my children, did all my household chores, I attend all the kids school games & activities, I exercised for 2 hours everyday and all my responsibilities at church was always done. Now that I am retired, time goes by too fast and I cannot get all that I did then finished in one day or one week.

 What is happening?

 

I still keep up with my 3 blogs every week, I do genealogy once a week, I fulfill all my callings on a weekly & monthly bases at church, I keep a one bedroom apartment in order and clean and I help a lot of people along the way. But the crazy thing is that I did all this along with my job and my kids. For some reason it seems like I am always behind.

 

I feel that age is finally creeping up on me and each day is not enough to finish all that I must do.

 

This week I did:

 

laundry

vacuumed every day

mopped the kitchen & bathroom twice

dusted/cleaned mirrors 

cleaned the bathroom 3 time

planted flowers & vegetables

did a primary lesson

 organized and relined all my kitchen cupboards

 filed a basket full of important papers

cleaned up the office

balanced the checkbook

genealogy

and I cleaned the car.

 

This does not include cooking and running errands. For the next 2 weeks the list is larger.

 

 I am now 57 years old and for the past 50 years I have been doing these chores on a weekly bases.

 I am so tired of them.

 

 I really need a vacation. I need not to think for one entire day about anything, I just need to rest and sleep.

 

Maybe I can plan for this sometime soon.
