I am very proud of myself for getting to today, if you had seen me Friday I was hyper and anxious and antsy, the complete opposite to how I am feeling today.
I wouldn't say today was a calm day, on the contrary I am a wreck!
We have the dentist after school and I hate the dentist ever since I was a teenager and the numbing stuff didn't take effect before he started to drill. It made me jump, made me scream and emptied half the waiting room! But that is this afternoon, this morning is the start of washday, every Thursday is washday. I try to get through the mountain of clothes that have accumulated on my kitchen floor, sometimes I am almost successful, then I go upstairs and find out the kids haven't been putting their dirties in the basket.
I have set the timer on my phone for the same time as the washing machine says it will take, the tumble dryer takes slightly longer and is about half the size, so I usually end up with baskets of wet washing waiting to go in.
In the hour or so between emptying the machines and refilling them, I am going to try and tackle the mess in the kitchen.. The unclean, very cluttered, a fire would make it look better mess to tackle in the kitchen.
I am debating the before photos, I'm ashamed to say the least, so if you scroll down and just see some lovely after pics then forgive me.
My rundown for today
- First thing that I need to do is re-stack my material pile. This is the kittens favourite place to sleep, after the bag of winter woollies in the coat cupboard and my keyboard while I type.
- Follow Nony the Slob from A Slob Comes Clean's Kitchen Cleaning Checklist.
- I will NOT get distracted by YouTube or Facebook or solitaire, and I will ALLOW myself 1 cup of tea every hour - no 5 minute breaks every 10 minutes.
LATER
OK, so that was written first thing this morning, its now just after 11am and I have done none of what I was aiming to do. Washing machine has only just been put on for the first time but I have an excuse! LJ had a school assembly today - which was sprung on me when I took TJ in this morning. So 10am I was at the school, before that B had been round to have a coffee and that meant I had to entertain (make drinks and consider sharing chocolate bars with the little ones). Now for the excuse of all excuses!! My nan just turned up and again I have to entertain, I couldn't possibly make her look after NJ while I tidy the kitchen (wink wink nudge nudge).
EVEN LATER
Procrastination won, no tidy kitchen or bleached surfaces, no swept floor but we do have clean clothes and dishes!
