I guess I've had a soul satisfying Sunday... I've done pretty much nothing. Well, not really -- that just means I slept all afternoon, LOL.
Before and after nap time, I
* got myself and dgs to church (dh is not feeling well at all after our trip Fri/Sat - and we won the ballgame and had a good time, so that's not it.)
* stayed in the nursery while dgs was in Sunday School, and for once, I was actually needed there, so they were glad I decided to hang out with them.
(I didn't want to go to either of the other classes b/c I didn't want to start a precedent, and the teacher who has been inviting me to his class was out of town anyway)
* had lunch
* kept dgs till ds came to get him after a couple hours (dgd sick)
* s/s kitchen
* took allergy shots
* refilled dispensers for coming week
* read the papers
* took out the trash
* went to Wmart (w/dh, but he went back to the car before I checked out)
* put away groceries (w/some help from dh)
So... my doing "nothing" is really not "nothing" at all!
I have a problem.
I am kinda addicted to planners and PLANS in general. There is a declutter plan (different from the 365 plan I mentioned earlier) that sends you a spiral notebook, or just the pages to print and bind on your own, and it has a checklist for EVERY WEEK of the year, with the dailies and weeklies and everything, so (presumably) one would get through all the areas of their home in a year. It is $12.95 for the PDF.
I know I do not need this at all. I already have the dailies on an Excel file on my computer, customized to myself. Now just why do I think I would follow this new arbitrary plan when I don't follow my own plan??? This is an obsession. I am really trying to abstain from purchasing this...
And now
Cathy is telling us about a NEW book...
and I want to watch the Netflix programs from KonMarie, but can't get my Netflix account to work...
Ha! I want to do EVERYTHING except DO THE WORK.
I do think I should probably be giving myself zone credit on my 3x5 for the 15 min missions I've been doing in the 365 plan, though. Even though I wanted this to be the DEN zone, I should keep up with the time I've spent in the KITCHEN, right?
I suspect this plan just has each room/area once for the year, though... so that's a conflict with our zones here and the three rounds, that are really needed, I think. I know I need to touch on each zone more than once a year... even though some rooms never get more than that, if I even do that much...
LadyM, I hope you feel better soon!
You, too,
Nancy!
Rose -- I saw your post about celiac. I mentioned that in J&C... oh my... hoping THAT doesn't turn out to be dgs's problem. He is a picky enough eater. I surely would hate to start limiting what he eats.
HELLO,
BookSaver!!!
Hope the dgrands enjoyed the show,
Harriet. Our dgs went to one of those while visiting the other grandparents. He and ds went with some friends -- ddil and dgd opted out, LOL. I think dgs enjoyed it though.
Lynlee, you are so right... these big box stores, fancy-smancy things overtake so many small businesses. There is NO WHERE to buy groceries in our little town anymore except Wmart and one smaller name-brand store. Used to be three good-sized grocery stores here. Also, when I was a child, there were half a dozen clothing stores just around the town square. Now only one, and other than that, it's Wmart or one other discount-type name-brand store. Oh -- and the dollar store, D ollar G eneral, which I suppose has a very limited selection in groceries and clothing, and I'm not being a snob or anything, but ours is so cramped and messy, over-stuffed and under-staffed, that I rarely go in there.
Harriet, the best thing about our church service today was that dgs actually paid attention, and was able to relay some key points to dh when we got home!
And the best thing about our shopping trip -- we didn't see one single person to talk to and slow us down! LOL. Sometimes I thoroughly enjoy my impromptu visits in the Wmart aisles, but since dh felt so bad, I was glad we got out quickly.
My soul's being renewed by holding a sleeping infant while her mommy goes for a nap
Yes... best feeling in the world,
Kathryn.
