After spilling all of my emotional guts yesterday, I thought it would be a good time to give some some of the other random parts of life that seem to inhibit my blogging at times.
You see, there's the thing called a house that I share with 4 other people. 3 of those people are small and though helpful at destruction, they're not so great at the clean up process! F6 is the best of the helpers, but those other 2 are easily distracted and already have figured out that their brother will do all the work while they do whatever it is that keeps them occupied while he works.
I'm a terrible housekeeper. Terrible is probably an understatement. I detest doing housework. I have quite the lazy gene and much like those 2 little people who let their brother do all the work, I'm easily distracted. Very easily. The irony is that my not so clean house drives me crazy! If I were to walk through my house right now and take pictures of every room, you'd think that I was on the edge of being an all out hoarder. I'm so much better about getting rid of things than I once was. I'm just bad about putting things back where they belong or maybe it's because I get distracted while I'm in the process of putting them away!
If I know someone is coming over and will be here a while, I always clean the main bathroom. It's actually pretty clean right now because several people have been here recently. A few weeks ago we had our home inspected because we're about to be at the end of our one year new home warranty. I knew the guy was going to look at all the windows so I opened all the blinds and had no idea how many cobwebs I was going to discover! The glass on my front door has so many finger prints on it that it's actually helping keep the sun from shining so brightly into the living room in the mornings. My hardwood looking ceramic floors are a whole other story!
Recently, I was challenged to do 3 things every day - Make the bed. Get the dishes done or at least out of the sink and into the dishwasher. Do a load of laundry - wash to put away. Believe it or not, I've done a decent job keeping up with those 3 things. Waking up to a relatively clean kitchen really does do something for my psyche. I already feel like I'm ahead or at least not running behind. I am always grateful for days like today when I don't have any commitments and I can get caught up.
I guess I need to add a 4th thing to my every day list - Update the Blog!
