I'm glad mine has to be locked with the key, cause I'd do the same damn thing. :haha"

STREEEESSSSSS

All of my own making, no-one else to blame. friends arriving tomorrow (UK friends, started in NOLA, on way here to leave from DTW), not ready (no floor space for airbeds never mind pristine house) never will be. Why can I never learn. Well I know why but shit. I always put my own family needs on the backburner to deal with the needs that affect other organizations because I took too much on and am constantly playing a losing game of catch-up and I figure the family might still love me if I fail. And I didn't realize until a post on Facebook today that we were a huge part of their trip, I thought we were just a passing visit so it's be ok for them to take us as they found us and it might have been ok for one night but it's three and I feel so stupid. I am so stupid, in the elephant in the room way. I knew it was three nights, it just hadn't really registered. There were so many other things to try and get done with deadlines before then

Some hidden dumb part of me thinks I have Hermione's time-turner stashed away somewhere. Actually, I probably do under all this crap. See I can still joke. Maybe it will be OK

unexpected bedding to wash and urgent gardening requests don't help plus I need to go swim to check I'm on to recert as a lifeguard on Sunday

(which is not frightening the shit out of me at all) And I have to finalize hiring a couple of swim coaches. this morning. I'mm'a do that next.

It's true. Your friends are visiting you. They don't care what the house looks like.

And it will come together. Ask the family for help. The kids and Beest can help get ready. If you work together, you can clear a spot for airbeds faster than you think.

infinite monkey · 04-17-2014, 08:29 AM

monster, take deep breaths. Your friends want to see you, not your house. It'll be fine when they get there.

monster · 04-17-2014, 08:51 AM

feckin well hope so. I just needed to write it down then I can concentrate on getting shit done. Wallowing in self pity is my biggest procrastination tool at the moment

limey · 04-17-2014, 12:23 PM

Urgent gardening requests????? Ah, this is work, is it not? If not, stuff it. If so - are you allowed a little vacay?
ETA and if Hebe's old enough to drive she sure as he'll can wash some bedding.

yes work. made the effort, went, and she got impatient and has had some "landscape" service cut everything to the ground. probably killing most of it. I'm so ready to dump this insane client but we need the $$
No, Hebe cannot wash the bedding. She has like 10 minutes to get her homework done tonight. and it would make her feel even more like crap which I'm not about to do. It's done anyway. washed, dried, folded. Even te fitted sheet. Laundry is the least of my worries, it's the one thing I do kep on top of and the machine does most of it. I was just feeling a little sorry for myself, I though that'd be allowed in the postho thread

limey · 04-17-2014, 02:46 PM

Of course it is. I'm just trying to offer practical solutions. Here, have a

instead. Moan away, that's what we're here for (among other things).

monster · 04-17-2014, 03:00 PM

thanks. most practical short-term solution: hire storage lock-up and haul it all out. Or chuck it all in the garage and have both cars in the driveway. but I'd at least like to nod in the direction or a longer-term solution or I'll just feel even shitter about myself. ah well. On the plus side, went to the gym instead of working for crazy garden chick and swam half a mile then had 10 minutes in the hot tub in an attempt to destress a little. maybe it worked. But people were assholes in the pick-up-line at school. I guess all racing to get out of town before each other. Polo game tonight. Local Derby. not too exciting though. We're in a "building" year and expect to be slaughtered.
