30 Days To A Clean Home Duex: Day Two

Image via WikipediaDay Two

Well, I managed to hit all of my four things today. I did 15 minutes of dishes, one load of laundry, decluttered in this weeks zone (the bathroom) and hit my hot spot. I did forget to take before pictures of my bathroom counter, but otherwise, I did good today. I also used any extra time I had to pick up things I noticed, like some trash in the living room.

I didn't really want to do anything, as per usual, I came home after work and getting the spawn from school exhausted. So I set a timer for 25 minutes and went and laid down. Of course the usual story played out...the timer went off and I reset it, hit snooze if you will. But as I laid there, I kept thinking to myself, "Is this going to get you where you want to be?" And once that thought crept in, I found it impossible to go back to sleep. Dang it. So I got up and got some coffee, waffled for a few minutes while drinking it, then picked myself up out of the chair and got to work. I actually worked up a sweat!

The nice thing about getting my stuff done, was that I calmly got through the rest of the day...even with a plugged toilet and a very sick spawn. I was able to call my Dad, get the toilet taken care of without any screaming, flipping out etc (even better was that HE didn't do any of the above either), and get the puking spawn to said toilet without freaking out over the fact that she...didn't originally make it. I just took a couple of paper towels and wiped them up, got her a wet cloth, some more medicine for her fever, talked to her, hugged and kissed her and got her back to sleep. Its a good feeling. :)

And as always, I have pictures!
