Although not Tour-of-Homes quality, my house is relatively clean and neat. Then why do I feel like it's a candidate for Niecy Nash and her "Clean House" crew? There are a few dirty dishes in the sink and some dirty laundry that hasn't made it to the washing machine. But I feel like everything in the house is covered with a thick layer of grime. Nobody's hungry, but I feel like I should be cooking something. This is all in my mind; all my body wants to do is lie down.
Thoughts of the smallest task feel like someone has told me I have to drive a herd of cats up Mt. Everest. My limbs feel like they've been super glued in place, unmovable; and my body feels like a sack of cement. Is there a name for this? I'm giving it one. I'm calling it the Woe Is Me Syndrome. And like the other syndromes that annoy me, I suppose there's no cure for this one either. So I'm just going to lie down and try not to think.

Sending hugs your way. I'm am so sorry you are feeling like this. I always find letting things go and taking a good nap often helps.

Hi, you sweety! I hope you got some rest & things look brighter! I am MUCH happier tonight because (1) your blog has been refusing to let me read it (waaaaah!) and now I CAN again, and (2)the photo of Sophie & Vann is WONDERFUL! You & I will catch up TONS when you feel better. In the meantime, I'm sending you smiles & hugs!

I hear you! Since having lupus and fibro (not too bad), I sometimes feel like I've hit a wall and can only slide down it and sleep. If I try to keep going, I'm likely to cry at the drop of a hat. Bother, isn't it?
Hope your nap gave you an energy boost, enough at least to start the washer for that last load so you can feel accomplishful (I made that word up) while you snooze again or sit and read.
Hugs!

Hang in there. I think a good rest is in order. We are all here for you!

I think it is post-vacation crash you are experiencing. Vacations that are relaxing gives our bodies and souls a chance to gear down and just about the time we get in that state of relaxation, its time to face our real world again and it is bit overwhelming when we "have to do" things, but our minds and body are still in the "you don't have to do anything" mode. At least that is the way it is with me.

Bummer. I hope this syndrome moves along and out quite fast. Feel better soon.

I've been there -
Do something you like - or do nothing at all. Do whatever it is you need!!!!

There is this nice lady from Leeds
Her whole life is feeling like weeds.
If she doesn't get up
and wash up a cup...
That isn't at all what she needs!

Sorry you are feeling the blahs. Sometimes we just need that rest. God allows us to rest and refresh ourselves.
I hope your Woe-Is-Me-Syndrome passes soon. God has something to share with you.
Look outside and see all the wonderful things God has created for us to enjoy.
Wishing you a better day
Cindy

Thank you for your kind comment.
Here is a link to the dress I made for Alexandra last year. She wanted one that looked like the one Kate Hudson wore in the movie "How to lose a guy in 10 days". She never wants much.....LOL

Hope you're feeling better now. I'm trying to catch up on some blog reading after our vacation so I just might be going through that post-vacationitis soon too! I loved your photos from your vacation and also the one of Sophie and Vance. Adorable!

I agree with Teresa. You have the post vacation blahs. I always dread coming home from vacation because my husband gets into a foul mood every time.
