Approximately 132, 587 times per day, I think about all of the "habits" I should have and think to myself, "Why don't I just do these things??? It would be so easy, and would make my life so much easier."
A few examples:
-put a load of laundry in every morning when I come down the stairs
(would eliminate the monster that is currently upstairs...)
-Brush Addy's teeth before she gets down from her chair after breakfast and dinner.
(rather than remembering when we're out , like in the supermarket, where I can't do it AND/OR chasing her around the house!)
-Clean things as I see them
(rather than having to clean the whole house and getting very frustrated)
-Organize the mail everyday when it comes
(rather than dealing with the other monster down in the office)
-pay bills the day the come in the mail
(......not gonna say what I do instead...let's just say that if our bills are late, chances are it is not due to finances!)
-make a weekly menu on the weekend and buy the groceries needed
(we eat *okay* meals, but I would like to changes things up)
-Implementing the Rite Aid lesson Caroline taught us all a few weeks ago.
(I just bought nail polish. The tag said $3.00 single check rebate until 10/24. I told myself, "ehh, maybe I'll try it next time. This one's already over, and what's $3??? WHAT'S $3??? I DON'T HAVE A JOB!!!!!!!) (voluntarily, but still....c'mon Jamie!)
So, now that I've actually written down how much of a slacker I am, on to figure out what to do before bed.....
Together we can celebrate the craziness of a life full of children, chores, working, working out, eating, eating healthy, and most importantly, ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER TO BE THE BEST VERSIONS OF OURSELVES because we and all of the people we love deserve it!
I don't do those things either. You're not alone. :) I also wonder why I don't do them.
ReplyDeleteI'm with the both of you. It's sad too - usually by the time I get all caught up on dishes & laundry I don't want to do anything else.
