I have been busy lately, more so than I've ever been. And yet, things are going okay. We've eaten tasty, healthy meals, my daughter's been organised for school and the house is decent enough - not fabulous - but decent enough. You know, floors are clean, so are sheets, towels, surfaces etc...
My new aim is to treat any cleaning like I would any work. Allocate time to it and do it one task at a time. I'm also doing that with exercise. On the days my husband doesn't ride his bike {those very, very rare days...} I'm going to get up early and go for a walk or a ride. I did it this morning and feel just fabulous.
I'm prioritising health, happiness and getting this done. That sounds like a plan doesn't it?
That sounds like a good plan to me. I think you're doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteIf you read my blog you will know that me & housework are NOT friends!
ReplyDeleteI HATE doing housework....
you can imagine that in my house of 5 young boys that it is NEVER EVER done....
and no sooner do I think I have finished than there is some other catastrophic junk heap that needs my attention!
I guess it is the notion of it never being finished that I hate.
Yesterday I gave away my number one tip to staying sane as a busy mumma to a friend of mine who is a new mumma for the first time....
RULE NO.1: IF IT DOESN'T FIT IN THE DISHWASHER, IT FITS IN THE BIN!'.
Good Luck with your new approach!
Yep, sounds like a great plan.
