Big Downer.....

On a bit of a downer at the moment.......I've been battling off a big cold, feeling really tired, put on some weight 'cos I'm sat on my ass most of the time-at work and home- and I'm getting absolutely no time to myself. The kids interrupt my time on the PC and, if I go on it at night, DH's vegging in the bed so I can't even get on with doing any scrapping. I don't have decent light over the desk either so it strains my eyes and I get a headache and feel more tired. What moments I could grab during the day(obviously only at weekends!) is hampered by a child at the desk on the PC or DH watching TV!! I just can't win.
I know the kids are important but so am I and if I don't get myself some 'me-time' and space, I'm going to go nuts.
Work is better on the morale front though now I'm starting to feel like I don't want to go to the other team.......what if I do stuff up? See, a downer. I'm not usually so hard on myself about my work abilities though I do overly-criticise myself. Perhaps it's cos I've just been fitting around everyone else that I feel a little bit devalued and don't have an identity as such or the confidence to break the mold and make what would be seen by others as selfish, unreasonable requests.
Perhaps I should put some thought into this and how to tackle it.
Stuff comes on 23rd........yay. Minus the pasta machine 'til August though....dammit.
Most important thing lately is.........DH got a job! Starts 3rd July so it'll be a few more cents for us. Wonder if he'll be motivated to do a bit more housework instead of thinking that it's down to me to do it all on my weekend off work!!? Huh, off work........what is that? Come home from the paid job to do unpaid work. Somewhat wearing. Some things, doesn't matter which country you live in.
