well. another month gone by. time feels so much quicker lately. i can't get a handle on it at all. too many things to do, and the day ends before half feels done.
i am progressing on keeping the house clean. boring as that really is, it must be done. its a very thankless job. honestly i don't think anyone in the house comes home and says to me how wonderful anything looks cause its clean or picked up. they don't really care. of course all hell breaks loose if they are in need of something to be cleaned that isn't. oh--that's quick to draw some attention. I'm not complaining, just taking note for future reference. i will say that i take no pride in cleaning. i get no satisfaction during the job itself. i can hardly stay on task, i come up with a million and one excuses...but once its done, i do remember to tell myself how great it is that i did it. of course seeing the toothpaste smeared in the bathroom sink on a daily basis, after Ive done this cleaning, is kinda a low point. if things could just stay cleaned up a tad bit longer once Ive done them, well then, i wouldn't care if no one appreciates it. Id be happy and that would be enough. but it doesn't work that way. nope.
i have been successfully doing my chores each day. and I've discovered ants come in the spring time no matter what...inside the kitchen, or laundry room if there is the tiniest crumb on the counter and they trail in for days on end searching for that crumb...so as annoying as that makes me each time, it has also become my motivator for cleaning the kitchen all day....that's sorta a good thing.
other than all the cleaning i'm trying to keep up with. i'm just busy doing my thing. kids have practice during the week for sports and school activities, so i am rushing out the door to pick up and drop off once homework and snacks are finished. i slide back in to make some kind of dinner and rush the bedtime routine...to spend some time with big A if he's around, or to settle into my my current book.
in creative news, i am working on the craft fair for the kids school. i have decided to have a table of my little paper things. i went through a whole week of motivational speaking (to myself) and saying that if an opportunity came up--i would take it. and then i got the email about the craft show at school and i just did it. i am happy about it, it just takes more time than i thought to get stuff done, esp when i have a deadline. but i am working and it will be here next Friday and i am happy to be a part of it. i really hope people like my stuff and want to purchase some. (at least enough to cover the cost of being a part of it. :)
well i have more to do before days end. no picture today nothing new uploaded yet.
xoxo
