Thank you so much for starting this thread. It was just what I needed today. I am in a slump right now, not motivated to do the regular chores and it helps somewhat to hear others are going through the same thing.
I appreciate you sharing this. It makes me feel like I am not the only one who has just let things slide a bit. I am teaching from home and trying to keep my own daughter motivated to do her best work to complete her Junior year and the chores are just piling up around us. I start laundry and have it folded in baskets, but just don't seem to have the energy and definitely not the desire to get it all put away.
I had to laugh at this one! This is me right now!
My son showed me the snow falling down in upper MI today and I was so thankful it was not us. I am sorry for you. Ugg, snow in mid-May should not be happening! I also can relate to your statement about trying to work around everyone's schedules to clean has been a struggle for me as well. I am an early riser but my mother-in-law who is ninety does not get up until around noon and since her bedroom is on our ground floor where the kitchen, family room areas are, it really makes it hard for me to complete chores in those areas when I am most energetic and motivated to complete them. I don't want to be clanging dishes around in the kitchen putting things away or reorganizing when she is sleeping and I can't run the vacuum cleaner either.
So true! I am especially tired of picking up after everyone else, like you said who are capable of doing it themselves!
