[quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Yes, thank you for your recent posts. Historically my issue is that I have no rules, no limits.  I don't say no (especially if it sounds fun), I want to and try to help anyone who needs it, and I'm exhausted. My DH used to say "we are finite beings with finite resources," and I could not comprehend.  Granted, he does not behave as if he's finite either.  DH came up with a place to store the news papers (unused fire place log holder), which is neat, except we are at one month of unread papers.  I asked if we could just get the Sunday paper, but he still wants it daily, despite no time to read the paper.  That's just one example.

I went to therapy today and said I think I'm about ready to wind it down (it's been years).  Spoke with her about my need to set up systems, but that I don't know how. She responded that I just need to carve out time to do it, that I'm smart, etc, and that cleaning up my house will be far easier than dealing with the issues I've addressed so far in therapy.  Yes, I'm bright, but I'm also driven to distraction. I can set up systems, but never address them. She asked how many hours a day I sit at my desk?  Huh?  I don't go near it, b/c it's so out of control.  I want to change!

Just took a pp's suggestion and asked my DH if we could set the timer for 2 hours for the next several weekends to get the basement cleared out, so we can have play dates, and he's agreed.  However, my DC plays upstairs in her room (and that is where all toys and books are), so I wonder if play dates should take place up there, or should toys be drug to the basement.  Thoughts?  The basement (although finished) is a pass through for me.  No place I want to stay.[/quote]
