It does feel like there is something to be done. I have a mental list of things to do and I postpone some of them as I cringe on getting to them. Life does seem like this when you're in the forefront maintaining the household.

That's usually the way my vacations are.  Generally can't afford to go anywhere and there is always more that needs to be done around the house than you can do in a week.  This year is different, though, for me.  I get to go on the vacation of a lifetime to Hawaii thanks to the trip that I won!
Have a wonderful day!

I started my vacation today. I thought that I was going to stay in bed all day. Wrong! I woke up early to exercise. As soon as finished with my breakfast, I ended up at home depot buying tools to fix my bed. After I was done fixing the bed, I took my daughter to her swimming lesson. Then I got home. When I got home, I sat on the computer doing my ptc sites. Before I knew it was night time. tomorrow I have more work to do. I guess my vacation is not really a vacation after all.
  i worked 13 hours the other day

that usually happens to me every weekend. Too bad the work days don't go by so fast as the days we have off!

That's the one thing that stinks about STAY-cations... you still are busy getting stuff done.

I hope you get to take a real vacation soon!

Don't really get much of a vacation such as a week or two; but I feel exactly the way you described it about my days "off".

I know sometimes you even need a vacation from your vacation because of everything you do and you don't always get paid for vacation either.

It may seem bad now, but when all these jobs are done you can really relax from your paid job and your staycation.  If you come to some jobs you don't really want to do, maybe they didn't really need done.  If you still think they do and came come up with the money pay to get them done while you relax.  It is always easier to relax when these jobs that don't get done for a while are finally crossed off the list.    ]

Working when you are suppose to be on vacation can be a problem and it seems to happen to most of us.  But there comes a time when we all need to take some "ME TIME" and just sit back, relax and gives our bodies the break they need.  If you are good to your body it will be good to you.  I know it's easier said than done but try to find some time just for you.   :)  :peace:

There are a lot of works laying around when you least expect it.  But if you put everything aside then you will find your free time.  I know it hard but you need to set it or else never have time for yourself. :)

Staycations often make you feel like that. There is always work to be done. Sometimes you just have to take some time out for yourself.

I plan my vacation each year with slots to rest and to have some me time. One of these days I will stick to the plan.

I'm on call 7 days a week. The only way I can vacation is to actually leave home. Let's see.. that was in 2004 I think.
