calling all SAHMs - how often do you ...

[Catherine]

What roryrory said! You are amazing - those are huge hours to be away.

It is a matter of priority. I find I can get the washing on no worries, and bring it in..but folding? ironing..putting away??? The spare bed became the clean clothes area, to avoid the sprawling dirty clothes from fraternising with the clean ones. So to combat the washing, I know have 5 washing baskets. As I take the clothes off the line, the get sorted (one per person, and one for non-clothes). Socks get paired as they come off (if possible), on a good day, I hang them in pairs). This way, if that is as far as I get, then at least you only have to dig through one basket to find clean undies.

Be kind to yourselves. xoxo

PS - great thread...may seem odd, but it has been threaputic to read that I am not alone in my unhousewifelyness, Quite a few laughs in those lists!!

PPS - you need to look after your health, by eating well. Cooking casseroles and other freezables helps. I had a month where I had frozen dinners from the shops until I got better sorted...not ideal, but better than some alternatives. Work it out with Dh (of course), but getting home at 10 or 11 pm, are you eating at work before you get home? can you heat up a meal at work?
