I will try to give the particulars of the situation as concisely as I can.
I have 2 DD's married, and both pregnant. One is due any day and the other in December. The "most" pregnant one lives .3 mile from us, and has a 20 mo. old, and the other about 5 miles from us.They lost their dad (my ex) suddenly with a heart attack last December and are still grappling with that, too.
Ok, I am an introvert and a semi-minimalist. DH and I live in a very small cabin-like house. I work 40 hours a week, plus an hour of driving. Recently I have been scheduled to see a cardiologist for some substantial symptoms.
The problem: Most days as I round the corner to our house my heart (no pun) drops because I see that one or both girls are there. I cannot come home, get comfy and rest or do much of anything because the house is full, messy and just too busy. I like to be able to lie down on my couch and read or watch TV and talk to DH about my day, etc. Both girls are messies and I can't putter around and get things in order or clean and I have no time to myself because they stay until bedtime. I know that they both need support now.(the other DD is a high risk pregnancy) and they are worried about me, as in losing their other parent.
This situation is stressing me to the max. I don't know what to do. I want to see my girls and sweet GD, but I am suffocating.
Any ideas? I probably won't be back on here until tommorrow, but I sure could use some help.
Thanks, Sherry
