I Don't Want To Be A Grown-Up Anymore

I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately. Sometimes it just feels like everything is piling up all at once, and there's not ever going to be a break or a way to deal with it all.

I've got the day off today, and was thinking of doing some stuff around the house, but when I started taking stock, it just seems like so much.

I have literally piles of laundry that needs sorted and washed, there are boxes of crafting supplies upstairs that need to come down to the sewing room and be sorted. Of course, there's absolutely NO MORE space in there, and I'm going to have to seriously prune through everything. I have several sewing projects that I need to get finished by a rapidly approaching deadline, and I'm still trying to finish David's sweater that I started months ago. The carpets are all in desperate need of vacuuming, but to do that, I have to find homes for all the stacks of books around on the floor and put them all away, as well as gather up David's clothes from all over the apartment and add them to the mountains of laundry upstairs, which, of course, need to be washed. There are several boxes of miscellaneous stuff around that I just cannot find a place for, but just can't leave in boxes. I have tons of artwork that needs to be framed, and I really want to get my garden started soon. The car is in dire need of an oil change and tune-up (not to mention the funny sounds it's been making). There is a stack of overdue bills and old debts that I desperately need to get under control. If I'm going to attend school in the fall, I need to figure out what I need to do to transfer what credits I have from U of L and settle my incomplete semester issues with them. The girls' litter both needs to be changed, and all the linoleum needs to be mopped. All three bathrooms are filthy, and need to be thoroughly cleaned, and there are science experiments growing in the refrigerator.

The worst part is, this really is only a partial list. I'm so frustrated and I don't even know where to start to get all this in order. Everytime I start to work on it, I just stare at the mess and blank out. Then, I give up and sit here watching TV or playing video games all day, and then feel like crap for not getting anything done. I know I should just jump in and so something, but it's all too much.

Can I just be a kid, and someone else take care of all this while I play and go to school?
