When I ra...I would not put it off until next month. When I ran myself ragged going to school with 100+ miles round trip, one time for ten days in a row and at age 42, I devised a do one thing every day. One day I cleaned the commode, one day, I cleaned the sink; one day I cleaned the tub; another day, I emptied bath trash and did something to floor. Mind you, this little procedure happened about once a month. Other days, my one thing was clean sink, the another loaded dishwasher; another day was for unloading dishwasher. <br /><br />Once every quarter on break, I cleaned all books and paper off kitchen table. One spring break I spent the week in the yard with loppers, in a sweatshirt to ward off mosquitoes, and in the rain. <br /><br />My other one thing a day items were get oil changed, go buy tp, check that tire going flat. <br /><br />My standards were very low for years, yet I got it done along with making all my own clothing including panties and bras. <br /><br />I liken your mortgage payoff to my graduating. I had to face the fact I was a bit /8/older and had a goal. I had no one at all to take up the slack.<br /><br />Yet, I visited and helped my 94-yr-old neighbor every day and paid for groceries a couple was having to put back because they did not have enough food stamps. So, I was outside myself all the time.

We understand that get it paid off, been there, done that , back to there doing that. BUT what are your priorities? WRITE IT DOWN... ALL OF IT ,the home, sewing, helping ALL OF IT. Now look hard at what is the MOST IMPORTANT with the understanding something is not going to get done. Today for me is a good example, I have 5 things listed I didn't get done because I spent the morning doing and transporting a stool test 145 miles round trip and then literally fell asleep sitting on the kitchen stool and fell off on the dog before going to bed and acknowledging it wasn't getting done today. Hubby turned down 2 paying jobs this week as he know he needs to mow the grass and work on the house for winter. <br /><br />WRITE IT ALL DOWN and then chose. If you are going to focus on bringing in the money while you can, then acknowledge and quit beating yourself up when you can't get the rest done without running yourself ragged and end up sick ... I care about you. The others on here care about you.

I got a small load of clothes out of the washer about thirty minutes ago, and still cannot hang them up to dry inside. There are only panties, so not too hard. Be glad you can do what you can do. And, try not to kill yourself doing more than you should do. There is a saying--you can work a good horse to death. I think you can apply this to you. Pick smaller chores.
