To start with, you’ve not put anything on that list that’s gentler on you, or gives you some space to think. Then you separate the list into, things you must do, things which shouldn’t be put off and things you can leave for a few days. So can you do that first?
What about adding in what things others are doing to help too...
That list is the things I must do that should not be put off this week. With possible exception of the newsletter.
There is a second list of things that can be out off that include
Change my bed
Vacuum my floor
Sort out the stuff at the back of the studio
Clean my bedroom.
Etc.
H can help with the clear glazing and the biscuit firing. But the rest is down to me.
In the time for me section is the daily walk with Ember.
There are not enough hours in the day till Friday night to do anything else.
Oh I forgot the kids session on Thursday 2 till 4
Although I feel guilty for spending the money I am looking forward to getting that fridge magnet set so I can try out building a routine that may work.
I think you need to find a way to cut back on at least some of the things you do....
Ok, so that list is the ‘should do’ list. Perhaps you need to cut that back to the ‘absolutely have to do’ list. Eg, as well as the newsletter, do you have to update the website? If it needs doing, can you not delegate?
I have no one I can delegate that kind of stuff to. Everything on that list has to be done.
Today I did get a load of cows glazed, a couple more made, loaded and fired the kiln and cleaned the bathroom, landing and my bedroom floor. I did find a bit of time to sit and see as well.
Got myself in the doldrums a bit tonight when I started to consider what a terrible mother I have been.
Why can you not delegate to H and A? How much do they do to help?
Why do you think you’re a terrible mother? Tbh everything you’re doing for H now is above and beyond what I’d be willing to do for my kids at that stage in their lives .....
What made you start thinking about whether you've been a terrible mother or not?
I agree with Paula - why can't you delegate some of the stuff? TBH you're paying her and A and what are they doing to earn that money?
