I've hit that overwhelmed feeling where I can't seem to begin anything.
I'm trying to do the little steps forward but I feel like I'm going backwards.
And it's just stupid stuff in the whole scheme of things anyways which annoys me (and everyone around me) for feeling so "unable" and "stuck".
The best example is the filing cabinet. My BKD paperwork has finally outgrown the plastic filing folder I bought back in April. A new filing cabinet is like $60 and after recently spending $400 on fabric, I'd really like to keep the unnecessary costs down (my goal at the end of the year is to break even). But there's no need for a new one, Greg had an old empty metal two drawer model out in the garage. I lugged it into the house and tried to put it in its new home under the small IKEA table I use as a printer stand. It didn't fit, it's an inch too tall. Backwards...
At JoAnns yesterday, I bought 4 $.50 small wood discs that raise the table up enough for the filing cabinet to work. There was even a box of hanging file folders in the filing cabinet. More savings, perfect! Except the metal side thingies that hold the hanging files are missing. Go to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200...
I need to go grocery shopping. But first I need to make a list. And check the sales ad. And find coupons. And plan meals. But lately everyone complains about everything I make so what's the point of planning if every one is going to eat PB&J anyways? And the thought of taking the 5 kids to the store scares me (they have not been behaving well in public, yesterday I about left JoAnns mid fabric cutting). But I don't want to go after the kids are in bed because I'm tired. And I really don't have any good excuse for not ordering online other than I don't really like to sit at my desk because it's overwhelmed with paperwork because of the filing cabinet issue.
Feel free to tell me what an idiot I am for complaining about such stupid stuff. And I know it's trivial, I just can't seem to get past it at the moment.
Although the grocery shopping is going to have to happen sooner than later because we're out of milk and I can't stand drinking hot tea without a dash of milk.
Anyone have a spare bottle of motivation?
