I did it! I washed, dried and put away a load of laundry! (I folded two loads, actually!) Day one of fourteen, down! Tomorrow I hope to have another successful day. I was really busy today, but I had a major change of view point as I was doing things. I know it's happening because I'm working on this blog to track my progress, and so my desire to improve and become my best me is always at the front of my mind. I knew I had a lot to do, but even when I was running around getting things done the thing in my mind that weighed the most and that I kept coming back to was that no mater what I HAD TO get the laundry done. It was really bizarre, actually. Normally I throw a load in and get so busy I forget to finish it. Today, as things came up, as I was running errands, etc., I kept thinking "have to get home and finish my laundry, have to get home and finish my laundry." Everything else was just Icing on My Cake of Life.
I got quite a bit done today, just a little putter here and there. And I'm not exhausted from the effort, so I know I wasn't overdoing it. Very pleased with myself right now, and thankful to God. My first week went well in the way it got me started, last week was a total wash, but this week I'm finally getting my game on. Today I spent some time cleaning the family room (wow, Rhia makes it messy in less than a blink! I clean it every day, honestly.) I took Rowan and myself to the Doctor, because he's got thrush and so I've got it, too. Ow! That hurts! We went to the store so I could buy plumbing supplies (yay, we're still under budget!) to fix the bathroom toilet. I fixed the bathroom toilet. Mike made lunch today, and dinner, but I'm alright with that because I was busy running errands, and all he had to do was heat something up. *big grin* I delivered some Mary Kay product, picked up the anti-yeast cream for Rowan and myself, got some laundry done, pumped some milk for Rowan (he can't nurse 'til I heal, I'm too torn up and sore), got Rhia down for her nap and spent some quality time with Mike. Tonight I have to pick up one of my sisters from Salt Lake and get the sinks in both the bathrooms to drain smoothly again. All in all, I'm calling today a total win! And not because of all the things I got done, but because of the fact that I managed to get the laundry folded and put away. Finally! Goal Finally Met!
Bring it, tomorrow!
Congradulations! It's a wonderful feeling to have a great day. I'm sure you'll have many more and get stronger as you work on it a little at a time. I love you very much and we'll see you all at Christmas. ~Dad
