The Cycle

It seems to be a never-ending cycle in my life.  I have ups and downs that last for weeks or months on end.  Last week, a downturn hit me.  Getting out of bed, staying out of bed, is like slogging through mud.  The thought of cleaning is daunting because I feel like I don't have energy.

As a consequence, my house has fallen back into the cluttered mess it once was.  My husband, bless him, took time this weekend to catch up on the laundry I hadn't done last week.  He did dishes, fixed meals.  He even brought me flowers and chocolate in an effort to make my day better.  He's an awesome husband, in case you couldn't tell.

I told myself last night and this morning that today would be better, that I'd get some stuff done.  It's 11:45am now and I have accomplished nothing around the house.  I did get the boy-child to school on time and I took the dogs for a stroll at the local park.  I made an attempt to do something today - taking the dogs for a walk was a definite move to improve my general mood.

So, what about the house?  I am going to take myself grocery shopping first of all.  The house is getting somewhat barren of things to eat.  From there...I guess we'll see.  I'd like to get bathrooms cleaned and get the laundry that my husband washed folded and put away.  Here's hoping...

Here's hoping the down turns up soon.  I don't like this feeling.
