Writing it down is definitely not my problem... oh, how I love to write it down...
I just don't like DOING it.
HOWEVER -- I am happy to say: TA DA --->
(These were not written down, but just ordinary daily or end of month things written in dh's head
)
* went to the post office
* checked off some financial stuff for dh
* helped dh average his monthly bp
(These were written down for today -- )
* called daunt
* called middle school re: Beta Club induction tomorrow
* cleaned bathrooms
Also written down but not done yet --
[ ] dusting
And not written down but have to do
[ ] put on make-up before church tonight (I am s2s, just no make-up)
I don't really know why I even write dusting in my planner. I never do it. I mean, I DO it, occasionally, if we have company coming or something... or if it's really really bad... but it's a WHB task, and it certainly doesn't get done weekly.
Of course, vacuuming is a WHB task, and if it gets done twice monthly, that's a big accomplishment.
I promise, my house does not LOOK bad, y'all... we're very tidy... but the real nitty-gritty of CLEANING takes a back seat a lot of the time.
I kinda feel like Weekly tasks become Monthly... and Monthly Zone tasks become Yearly or Never... and we're kinda just wandering through life over here. Having dh home 24/7 is very distracting. When I am in the mood to clean, he's in the mood to go somewhere or needs me to do this or that, or he's asleep and I'm trying to be quiet. I wish he would join the Masons, LOL... or some kind of weekly men's group. Ha! They need to meet twice weekly -- once for my "Me Time," and once for my cleaning time.
LadyM, I am copying your answer to ds this morning. That is a wonderful attitude, and I am trying to follow your example.
I'm not happy all the time because drama and sadness does happen. I try to process it and then accept the new normal and keep going forward. I wake up eager to start the day and give thanks for the privilege. Then i get up and get going.
