Hi Jennifer u sure are busy!I definately count housework as exercise.I used to be like u.I think maybe u need to make a list of all the chores and maybe just pick the ones that u really need to do and leave the rest?U need to be good to yourself too.... 

It's easy to get overwhelmed and frustrated. I count my housework as calories burned in my exercise diary for sure! Especially if I listen to music and really get active with it. Some days there is just so much going on that it's hard to make the time to exercise. I hope it gets less hectic for you soon.  

Housework never ends and I feel your pain.  

I think it will calm down after the boyfriend gets over his throat and ear infection. I talked with him and my step son last night, saying that there are 2 adults, one teenager, and a 4 year old that live here, all of us can work together so I am not spending all of my personal free time cleaning. This came up after I just tidied the living room and my step son had it DESTROYED after I folded clothes downstairs for almost an hour. I almost lost it on him. I asked him would it be fair to him if I took away all is free time for going outside or to play to clean, and he said well...no...and I said well then help me. We can all work together here. Its not fair that all I do is work, cook and clean. I get no reading, no working out, and by the time I go to sleep I am whopped but cannot sleep because there is too much on my mind about what I have to do the next day. He said that I was right, and he gets so distracted that he forgets, and he will start helping more. I hope that stays. Cause I am literally losing my mind. We sat down and made a schedule for him that he has to follow everyday. Thanks for the comments. Glad to know I am not alone. LOL We are trying to get him to be not so selfish, and always thinking of himself. Its slowly getting into his head that there are more people in the world than him. 

Hey Jennifer, glad you got time to have that important talk with them. I think making a schedule for him is a great idea. My parents did something similar and it became easier for me to remember what my part was and made them happy. Oh and housework is definitely burning some calories! Hope you have a good day and sleep soundly tonight :)
