Not Enough Time and Energy

Have you ever said to yourself "there's just not enough time in the day to get everything done that you want." Well, there's another one that says "I don't have the energy to get done what I used to get done." I feel both of them right now. Working full time and trying to keep a nice house is so hard. And you don't know what it's like until you've actually tried it. I've worked full time for many, many years now. And even though the kids are gone I still find it just as hard to keep it all up. I know I'm older..hahaha..but it seems like I just get all the dusting and bathrooms done and you turn around and see another inch of dust again. I'm like.."didn't I just do that?" I wish I had the money to hire a housekeeper to come in once a week to do those little extra things. Like getting rid of the cobwebs, dusting, vaccuming, baseboards, windows, showers, tubs, cleaning closets, cupboards. It's a never ending job. By the time 2p.m. arrives I need a nap. I just don't have the energy I used to have either. Is it that I'm getting old? Roger said the same thing the other day and I had to remind him that he's now 50. All I want is my house to be presentable. I hope that when people come over they'll look past the dust and feel welcome in our home. It's just a woman thing I guess. Wanting my house to be nice.
