Busy...

Yesterday, and even though it was a Monday, I cleaned my house top to bottom and did 5 loads of laundry.

It felt good to have a clean house. It did not feel good to feel like I neglected my children to do it. So I think my "Home Day" project needs some tweaking. But that is OK! That was the whole idea of the project, to start and see how I needed to make it fit the needs of MY family.

Consequently I have a gigantic mound of laundry to fold. I've been doing it sporadically during the day whilst watching Go, Diego, Go!



He's a charming little chap who lives in a miscellaneous jungle on Nick Jr. Ok, so you're probably wondering why we have cable right now. The answer is this:



That picture is by By Deirdre Hamill, The Arizona Republic - have to give her kudos, that picture is stunning! And perfectly sums up why my husband likes to watch the NBA playoffs every year; there is always a smashing game or two! And it's the reason why every year he gets the same gift - cable for his birthday!

And speaking of birthdays, we are hoping to have a sensational little dinner rendezvous to celebrate!

Oh and I'm also sewing and finishing off a project, photos of which will probably be on my OTHER blog that I hope to start... "I've Got A Foggy Notion"... about the delusion that is my sewing projects. Well, you gotta start somewhere.

Mondays

Mondays are my at-home day. I'm supposed to clean the house on this day. Since I implemented it three weeks ago, it's been an interesting curve.

Today, my house is THRASHED. Which is weird, because it wasn't so bad Friday. I think weekends are the worst. That and the sheer volume of laundry I've been able to do, since I suddenly have a working washer, means that it feels like there are clothes and towels and blankets everywhere. That and I can't come at the kitchen... it's terrible.

So today, I have to ignore how I feel and just get in and do it. Some self-discipline. I keep reminding myself I'm setting a good example, but I have to say it... self-discipline sucks.
