It's 5a.m., there is one load of laundry in the dryer, Darling is off to work, the bed is made and all the clean dishes are put away. Yesterday I made it my goal to do ALL the laundry, to the point of almost stripping socks off Darling to wash them. I was able to hang nearly all the "hang-up" clothing in the closet, but I need more hangers! (I just opened 20 yesterday!) I got the cleaning bug awful yesterday, and thankfully it is still here. We all have days when we don't feel like doing our work (right?) but we have to do it anyway. I confess, I don't always make myself do house work when I don't feel like it, and I pay for it later. And sometimes, it is just so much easier to clean when the husband is off to work, or what have you (am I right, ladies?). I like to put my music on, Classic country radio on http://www.pandora.com/ and get to work. I'm not sure why it is easier for me to stay focused while listening to music, it always has been that way. Because, I don't just listen to the music, my mind goes in all directions, from what's next on my to-do list, to the new recipe I want to try, etc.
Also, something new I have been doing is a workout DVD by Jillian Michaels. I have not been out jogging or anything since the weather was nice and warm, I am such a wimp when it comes to being cold! But, I used to run every morning, even before work and I always felt way better. I had more energy, and I was happier! (Exercise must do something good for your brain/emotions, or, I'm just weird lol) Anyway, I am also more motivated and am able to maintain better (not perfect lol) self-discipline, which means-I do better at keeping up with my chores! The work out is something I can do right from my warm living room. All you need is a mat and a couple of weights, which I lucked out because I already had those items. Don't you think they might want to mention that on the DVD box?? So, for thirty minutes a day, I can feel better and be more productive and more pleasant to be around lol.
I was wondering, June Bug (my dog) has an awful mess of burdocks in her tail. I can't just pick them out. I was thinking of rubbing some olive oil in her tail to get them out. Does anyone have any suggestions?
To Days' Goals
- scrub the kitchen floor
- work on putting together the home office
- make supper
- clean kitchen windows
- Go to town
- give dog a bath
- vaccume out the car
window sills! Plus, if you have one of those sweaters that is too embarrassing to wear because of the lint and hair that refuses to wash out, you can put it on and just suck it all off!!! Total cost of this new form of sanity? $15. I just don't know how long it will last yet, as I've only had it a couple of weeks. But so far I'm tickled pink!
Supper Menu Tonight
Ham steaks
Whipped mashed potatoes
garden peas in a pod
