Lists help me. When I'm overwhelmed with chores to accomplish, I list it all out. If you can get the girls to chip in (I know, I had unwilling teens also!) have them start checking off completed items on the list. Who cares if they don't do it perfectly, tell them just do it. Laundry can be going nonstop over the next two days while you are cranking out the other to-dos. Just get it sorted into piles and start. It sounds like you are trying to maintain a sense of normalcy, which I think is good to a point. But if it all is going to disappear in the next month (eviction), can you ask family for help while they are around? I know it's difficult to admit to others how awful your life has become, but people can amaze you sometimes with their love and support.

And by the way, strongerwoman, I think you are gorgeous!
