ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Doing too much

[@kaycee625]

I have followed you for a long time and I can so relate to your work and home issues (too much to do, too little time). I think you’re amazing to do all that you do. I love that your daughter’s gut instinct was working, children are very, very aware but society sort of dumbs it down and tells us to be “nice and non judgmental”. That gut instinct (I would call it Holy Spirit prompting) is a survival instinct. Well done your daughter!! I know what you mean about a big church being less intimate. God will always answer the heart’s cry for help. So for the prayer need you have, pray that the Lord will give you the discernment AND the subsequent confirmation that you are in His will with whatever decision you need to make re the wedding. We get these situations in life and, especially with family, it can get a bit sticky. Lift this situation up in prayer and pray that you hear His will in this situation, that it gives you His peace and the ability to follow through. God knows the details and nobody outside your circle of confidentiality need to know. Have faith that He will answer you.

We don't plant here until after the 24th of May (Queen's b'day) to avoid frost. Really sad to suggest but maybe drop down to twice a week video's to gain back some time in your very busy schedule. Awesome how quickly you are pulling your rooms back together and love how you are breaking down the laundry into more manageable loads. Hugs from blizzardly Ottawa ON

With laundry it's tricky because when I was behind I always thought I didn't have enough socks, t-shirts etc. But then I tried laundry day method by Dana K. White (just to test if it's something for me) and when all my clothes (or almost all) were clean I figured out that in fact I have too much, I just didn't have it clean. Real test for me it's when I don't have space to put away my clean clothes, linens and towels, it means that I need to decluter something. The space I have is the space I have, however it may sound silly, that's the reality. I can't keep more that my space "allow" me. It's the same with books, hobby stuff etc. Than if there is a space but that area is still getting out of control on regular basis (like my shoes, cosmetics in the past) I ask if it's above my clutter threshold. If the answer is "yes, I can't manage that amount of stuff" I try to get rid of more. That's very personal, as each one of us is different. For me it was very refreshing approach and I try to implement it in my whole house. Good luck!

lol I have done that before- taking my arm and putting everything on the table into the bag! If no one asks where something on the table is by the end of one week it went into the trash! It works! Yes so far I have stayed well along with the other! One sick one is much better almost mended and the other still pretty sick! Thanks for asking!

[@gettingtidy2495]

This is funny, I'd never be able to do that 😂😂 despite wanting to!! Glad you are staying well 😊😊

[@Julie-si3hi]

Devkuttering helps enormously,otherwise your just moving stuff from one place to another and constant managing inventory.

[@gettingtidy2495]

Yes you are right. I agree. I have more to get rid of 🎉🎉

I wish there was some way you could have the washing machine upstairs so you wouldn't have to go up and down with all the washing and could have a dish washer in the kitchen.

[@gettingtidy2495]

Or a washing machine outside my door in my area I'm going to buy a door for!

Hi Emma , nice job today! I think I agree with your husband, let one of your jobs go. You are only one person and can only carry so much on your shoulders. May I ask for prayers, We've had a terrible air collision with a passenger plane and Military helicopter, in Washington D.C. Three military on the helicopter and 64 on the plane they have only found 4 people alive. They are still trying to figure everything out and find out what and how this happened. I was quite upset about it, I was watching the news when it happened. My heart is broken for all the families involved. Emma I do agree that your daughter should follow her instincts, we as woman have them and even young girls have this sixth sense of danger, It is good to encourage her. I have been to a check up on my eyes, I've got Macular Degeneration and a tumor in my eye, I will see a retina specialist in March, praying the tumor has not grown, we shall see then. On a happier note I am having my 21st birthday for the fifth time on Jan 30th, hahahaha, I no seriously I am now 65. We have a tradition, my husband and I, he can't bake for the life of him. He buys the stuff for the cake and I make it. It is sweet he wants to make me a cake but can't. ❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋

Emma you really have a lot going on! I could never keep up with all that. Hope you can cut down on whatever is lowest priority, but it all sounds like high priority. I’ve had so many times in life where it seemed like everything needed my attention at the same time, so if you need to cut down on doing videos I would certainly support that. I like your new laundry method of putting the dry things away before they have a chance to pile up and cause more work for you! I wish I lived near you - it may sound crazy but laundry and dishwashing are the only chores I enjoy! I could move in next door, come over and do your laundry and dishes, and you would get a bit more spare time. But I would probably mess that up for you by wanting to sit and chat, and you’d be wondering how to get rid of me. Haha. Yay for having snowdrops in bloom!!

[@justmemuchlove8275]

Oh the not answering the phone would be a dealbreaker for me. He’s just doesn’t care about your safety so just get yourself out of that situation 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@rebeccacorser-wallace9885]

I do a wash, dry, and put away every evening. I never have lots of washing then.

[@gettingtidy2495]

@@rebeccacorser-wallace9885 this is a good idea and I don't think I'd hate putting washing so much because the pile is so much smaller!

[@brookhowell8841]

I would definitely suggest making an appointment if you want to talk to someone from church. Even when I've belonged to a small congregation, there is no guarantee that you can just pop in and have a conversation.

[@gettingtidy2495]

Thanks for the advice. I felt that I didn't want it to be a "formal" appointment 😕

You do do far to much Emma. You need to take a step back and take care of yourself. ❤
