I know this submission is old, but I still wanted to suggest an idea.

You say you do not have enough time, and all you do is cook, work and sleep.
If you have a husband and childrenover the age of 15 (you said at least one is 21) there is no reason they cannot help out with the cooking!

Chores for kids isn’t a bad idea at all. I would discuss things with your husband, and tell him that you just need more evenings to relax, because you are feeling drained. If everyone can chip in, you can all take turns cooking dinner each night. One night you, one night your husband, one night you 21 year old (if they’re still at home) the next night another child. And maybe on Fridays have delivery night (if money allows). Each week a different theme (italian = pizza friday, asian = chinese food friday, etc.)

Try and turn it into a fun chore. Lay down rules (no ice cream for dinner, etc.), but tell the kids they can have fun witht their meal plans. If they want to subject everyone to Ramen noodle night, or Mac & cheese + hot dogs night, then they’re in their right to do so!

It will be a good learning experience for them anyways. You wouldn’t believe how many young adults leave the nest, and never learned how to cook for themselves! The boys can learn recipes to woo their future girlfriends (since women love a man who can cook).

Believe me, I know what you’re feeling. I come home exhausted every night from work. And sometimes all I have energy to cook is a microwavable meal! You need time to sit down and unwind some days.

I hope that this can help alleviate some of your stress.

Alot of things can be at play in our life to make us feel that we’re in a rut – not taking care of ourselves physically, lack of support, our emotions can be out of wack. God promises to give us a fulfilling life and to give us the desires of our hearts, but if we’re not daily feeding ourselves spiritually from His word, then we are going to be malnurished spiritually – make sense? So, and I’m preaching to myself here, the best place to start is by reading your Bible daily and seeking Him in all you’re doing and asking Him for direction. I would suggest that you start to take baby steps in exploring those things that appeal to you. I wouldn’t make big changes until you are in a better place emotionally, just start off small. It could be, too, that all you need is a simple vacation. Emotions are contagious and if you’re not in a good place, that will affect the relationships around you. Now the tempatation is to read this and then go back to the same rut again, but you must start TODAY!! Just start making a list of micro goals and then work up to macro goals you want to accomplish. I admire your dedication to your family and they are blessed to have you as a mother.

How do you know what to do with your life when you’ve never had aspirations. There was never anything I wanted to grow up to be. When I was 11 both of my siblings left for college and my parents divorced. Since then I have spent all my time trying to keep my family together despite the distance and hate. I am now 33 and the family is what it is, we are all grown up now. Both of my siblings have gone on to get married and have kids. I feel as thought I grew up fast and at some point I stopped. I feel like I lived a better life when I was in my 20′s then I am now. I guess that is to say I feel like I’m going backwards. I know the answer is find what you love to do and do it, but how do you figure out what that thing is? I just feel so hopeless sometimes. Are there any exercises I can do to shake off the feeling sorry for my self’s?

Hi, Daryl–Well, how about making your life count for God and other people who need help and encouragement? That’s what I do with my talent and training. I became affiliated with this mission nine years ago, and ever since, as “Dr. Muriel” I have had the rewarding privilege of counseling troubled hurting people all over the world for these Truth Media e-zines.
(This is a mission, so I do this for free.) And for years I have written helpful articles for publication in print and on the net. I can tell you that there is nothing more rewarding than serving God and others! And the Lord leads me in everything I do. You don’t know what to do? Well, get a relationship with God, and He will open the door for you as He did for me.
This website can help you have a wonderful relationship with God: http://powertochange.com/discover/faith/discoverpurpose/
Peace, purpose, and joy in the Lord!

I feel like I’ve accomplished everything in life that I’ve had to – done well at school and now have a professional career, always did well at sports, had great friends growing up. Now what? What is there for me to do next besides coming to work everyday and doing the same thing for the next 35 years??? Please help. And help fast!

Great advice! I’ll start by not caring what you think. ;)

Smoke herb. keep it simple. Live one day at a time. Take it in small steps and it will eventually grow. Find something nice like beading or watching your kids play a sport and play a game with them. Do something fun and exciting with your husband like go to an exotic place to eat or something. Spice your life up. Ignore the so called “stresses” and live your life. Don’t give a fuck what other people think. It may take a while but eventually you’ll see you need to do things for yourself and everything else will fall into place.
