My wonderful, amazing mom arranged for a cleaning company to send over two of their finest yesterday afternoon so that I don't feel overwhelmed by the amount of cooking and cleaning necessary to host next week's Friendsgiving - an event I foolishly decided I'd be up for hosting this year.
Now that the house is clean - that first layer of dirt that acquired over the last few months while I was laying around like a slug - has been removed. And I feel like a similar layer has been removed from my attitude. I wish more people (or ANY people) read this blog, because I would tell you all that I was going to promise you to spend at least 15 minutes a day doing something productive around my house, but since I really have no one to be accountable to here, I'll just tell you I really, really want to try.
I've been on and (mostly) off the FLYlady wagon for a few years, now. I think (insert title of blog here) now is as good a time as any to get back on track, get a good routine down for keeping the house clean and under control, and not letting it get out of hand. That way, when Baby comes to "ruin" all of that, at least I'll be in a good habit and will maybe be able to keep it up somewhat.
Speaking of baby coming - we find out next Wednesday - the day before Thanksgiving. I may have already told you that. But I can't decide if we should call our parents and tell them, or just tell EVERYONE together on the holiday. What are your thoughts?
I am a horrible secret keeper, even if it's only for one day, but I think you should tell everyone on Thanksgiving! What a great way to start the holidays!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I know how you are feeling about cleaning. I have zero energy to clean, and if I get a little burst of energy, I don't want to use it cleaning!
