I tell people “a me in motion, stays in motion” when people tell me to take a break 😅

🤣 luckily (or not) every appliance in my house makes a TERRIBLE noise every few seconds until you get up and open the door. I bloody hate it but if it wasn't that way I would never eat or wash anything ever!

I used to get so mad when my husband took breaks to sit down in the middle of us cleaning the house or working on a project. Now I understand that it’s because I can’t sit down because then the task is not going to get completed.

This is what I try to explain to my husband. Why he’ll find me weakened and at deaths door sometimes trying to complete a task. And he says, it’s ok to take a break and sit down and come back to it 😂. Because THAT’S how it works for us! Take a look at our house! It looks like a tornado hit it. No correction, I have two boys with AuDHD, and EVERY morning, I wake up, and it looks like my Tasmanian Devils have been at it again! And it does not matter what I do to try and clean, I turn around, and destruction! And I say, ok let’s clean. And they’re like, what mess? I don’t see a mess 😳. And my husband is always exhausted from all his shit going on so his philosophy in life is “it’s good enough.” And I’m just not that person because I know all it is is a new layer of crap on top of the old layer if I allow for that. And then comments get made later about the state of the house from everyone. So, I have to be the drill Sargent and be like, NO SITTING UNTIL I SEE THE FLOOR TO THIS ROOM! NOW MOVE IT! MOVE IT! MOVE IT!

I don’t know why the terms big and little sit are cracking me up. Referring to all of my laziness like this!

It is important to sit down regularly though..maybe without a display in front, though- to limit radius of actions.. no tv, no laptop, no phone if sitting down is meant to be for calming down/relaxing Spending sone time with a fidget toy or so light do? Spend a moment of considerate affection with your pet, clean an object that is often used or rarely used but in both cases- looks worse/gunkier than supposed to..famous examples might be the remote control for an electrical device, tableware or the phone handle Because if you just avoid sitting down in general-… This can turn into „ugh why am I feeling so exhausted and stressed-oh right I haven’t sat since I came home 2 hours ago at all!“ without even noticing it, quicker than one might think 👉🥺

Starts with I'll sit a minute before I do this.... then I'll play one more game before I start. Then I'll watch one more video before I start, and so on

Also! Once I remove my shoes, it’s game over. I’m never leaving the house again that day.

Shit I’ve just emerged from a Big Sit Down session where I thought I’d just watch a few short videos on YouTube before going to the shops and now it’s already midday 😔
