Motivation... Or Not




I have such a motivation problem. Last year we moved to a new area. The circumstances where we lived before were very different. We lived with a house full of family. I had my own car. I was kind of like the house mom. I cooked, cleaned, took care of the kids for all. I also ran all of the house errands. I was constantly on the go. Errands to run, people to take or pick up from work, kids to doctors and the park, ect... Since we moved last August things have changed a lot. It has been mostly good changes. However, my car broke down when we moved and it was too expensive to fix so we had to let it go. It is now just us, which is great! However, without a car I have been stuck at home. It is not easy for me to keep our one car because my husbands schedule is always different and I have to try and keep the kids on their schedule. So I end up scheduling errands that I have to do around his schedule when he is home, and that is it. Most times I go days without leaving the house. I think that over time this is the reason that I have lost my motivation. Now I sit. A lot. Over this past year I went from being constantly on the go to someone who spends two hours convincing herself to get up and do chores in the house. There are so many thing I want to do here at home, and things I could be doing here at home, and here I sit. Every night when I lay down to go to bed I list out all the things I am going to do the next day... daily chores, a little deep cleaning, go through kids clothes for school, exercise, ect.. and then the next day I sit. Then go to bed feeling guilty and start all over again. What do I do? How do I fix this? The littlest things seem like too much work. I need to change this! Any suggestions?
