Blur

The girls just left for school--my mom is taking them a couple of mornings this week to give me a break. Mike went back to work (after staying up until after 3 in the morning working on work). Leo gave me, oh, a little sleep--probably about 6 hours but non-contiguous and with a big fat break around 3:30 in the morning. Still, though, better than the night before. A little bit at the beginning/a little more later on.

This morning was a total blur. Girls up and out of the house, fed, lunched, dressed. At least it's supposed to be 65 today and they didn't have to be completely bundled up to go. And I put Leo in the sling and cleaned the kitchen and living room while they got ready. The living room is what bugs me--if it's clean, I can handle the day better. That and the kitchen sink. I didn't polish it, but it's empty and clean (yes, I polish my sink--weird, considering the general state of the rest of my house--I just like knowing the sink is very, very clean).

He's asleep on my chest in the sling. I'm going to go sit in the rocking chair in the living room, eat breakfast, and snooze.

I hope you're having a good nap right now!

OH MY GOSH you polish your sink. You are a fly-lady follower, aren't you?

I cannot stand her. The MASSIVE amounts of emails turned me off. Plus, I cannot stand to feel guilty for occasionally having dirty dishes.

But, I know what you mean. I don't need to have one specific area clean, but if I can go into one place and see nothing that needs to be done, I feel calm. I can even just be my closet, but if it's tidy, I feel a big load off my shoulders!

My goodness no. A clean house is not that important to me--I swear it's coincidental. It was a LLL trick--find the one thing you must do, and do it every day.
