Gud, when you collapse from exhaustion, or have a nervous breakdown or heart attack, you won't be able to keep up with the chores. I'd suggest preventative measures are better than fixing stuff after you are broken. You need to get some balance. Both your work life and your home life suffer from you being stretched too thin.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Thrive to spite them

After runnng my errands, flopped on the couch for a little nap to see if that would help my headache. I just woke up, 3.5 hrs later. I guess I was being too ambitious, thinking I could swim tonight. If an hour of errands knocks me this flat...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You did 19 things.
Seriously, over the weekend I got groceries, took the kitty to the vet, and (maybe) washed dishes.

At this point, they might as well redecorate the Oval Office like a tribal council and have each crony douse a tiki torch as they get pink slipped.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I'm watching John Oliver, and I never knew why Colbert had all those weird products on the Report! It's Alex Jones! Et al., I assume.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I don't think she means come off the to-do list by getting them done. I think she means it as "someone else does it or it doesn't get done."
I had to go out, but yes, exactly. Just reading about what you did this weekend made me tired. Of course you were exhausted.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I don't think I have done 19 chores this month! Seriously, this weekend I bought groceries and hand washed some clothes. There must be a happy medium. I am wondering, if doing their own laundry or getting meals together is a thing to start with for the kids. I did my own laundry starting at 12 because my mom messed it up. But those things have immediate personal consequences and are essential things to know how to do once they are in college.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went over to Gatineau, where we went to the MosaiCanada exhibit at Parc Jacques-Cartier. Lots and lots of topiary. Got lunch, then hit the Canadian Museum of History, where we walked around various exhibits for a few hours. Back at the hotel, we are tired, except for Mr. S who is jumping up and down in the crib.
