I also can get really overwhelmed - especially with organizing - and it can be a big help to have someone around to bounce ideas off of and just keep me moving. Dealing with car seats is also a challenge for me. Anyone who hangs out much with me definitely gets asked to take a turn at that.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16628017613611877393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798420379667028780.post-63730193058821186372014-03-08T09:35:55.823-08:002014-03-08T09:35:55.823-08:00I like it when people who don't mind the mess ...I like it when people who don't mind the mess come over and talk to me while I clean. For some reason, even as an introvert, if I have someone to talk to while I'm cleaning, I have more energy and it goes faster. When it's just me, I feel SO OVERWHELMED at all I have to do.<br /><br />One time I even took 4 baskets of unfolded laundry to a playdate and sat on my friends floor and folded laundry while we chatted and our kids played. I'm sure it was a little awkward for her, but it meant the world to me and I got it all in one sitting, instead of it taking days!<br /><br />If we are riding in a car together, I love it when other people get my son out of his carseat. It's such a little thing but I get SO TIRED of lifting him in and out (he's getting big enough he's starting to be able to do it himself thankfully). <br /><br />Bringing over a meal or even a cup of coffee means the world. Not that that actually happens often. :) <br /><br />I also had a friend who bought me a gift card for a massage. Let me tell you what, mmmhmmm that was awesome!
