Today has been better than yesterday’s Day of Funk. I made my bed when I got up . . . a good sign.
I emptied the dishwasher, cleaned up the kitchen after last night’s excessively messy rice-krispies-as-a-chicken-coating episode. (Do NOT get distracted while crushing rice krispies with the bottom of a cup and talking to your husband on the phone and let the cup slip and send the crushed cereal flying all over the counter and all over the floor. Just don’t.)
Mopped, because . . . it’s Thursday.
Went off to help at my son’s school, run to the post office, and have a picnic at the park – totally guilt free because I had done what I was supposed to do before 9:30 a.m. And let me say, sunshine is a great cure for the Funk.
Wow, way to turn it around! High five! :>)
Girl, you got it going on :)!
I came across your e-books (28 Days and Drowning) somewhere and LOVED them, so I’ve gone back and started reading your site from the beginning. I have SO many of the same issues you do — the selective vision, the utter lack of focus, the distractibility — and I really appreciate your journey on improving your home and all your tips. My progress is slow and often one-step-forward-two-steps-back, but I can see that focusing on daily habits is starting to make a difference around here. thanks so much!!
Welcome, Sandy!
I just wanted to tell you that reading your post is what helps me keep on track. I have found you late so I still have 3 years of catch up that should be enough to make these tasks a habit! I struggle over the weekends because my son has clubfoot and we get him casted every Friday and things go crazy. Also over the last week I have been struggling to do the daily kitchen tasks and my kitchen we horrible and then I remember I hadn’t been reading your blog. So thank you for the inspiration. I often walk around my house and notice things now and say “if Nony the slob would notice this I should just pick it up while I am right here”
Love this comment!
