Well, Friday was a success in terms of getting a few things done. I accomplished all my goals bar hoovering, but I also cleaned the fridge and I hoovered the lounge on Sunday afternoon.
No dishes have been washed since, so the kitchen is again a tip (so much for Daddy's plan of doing a few dishes whenever we can and keeping up with it!!!). But we did make it to Ikea to purchase some storage. So although my kitchen is a pit again and the back room is a wreck, I feel we're at least making progress.
Goals for today:
*Go to Sticky Faces
*Wash some dishes so kitchen is more tidy
*Tidy back room
*Begin sorting spare room - start with organising Elsie's clothes. (This will be fun since I love organising and I can begin using our new Ikea storage. I think the sense of achievement after her clothes are sorted again will be highly motivational!)
* Exercise
I've also arranged to meet with Toni after Sticky Faces, so it could be a busy day indeed!
We had a great weekend, though. Saturday was especially nice. Went for a day out with Daddy's parents - lovely walk in the mud, shopping and a meal. We've been wanting to buy Elsie some new toys as we're a bit bored with the ones we have and she's outgrowing a lot of them. So grandparents bought an early Easter present of a cool dinosaur rolling ball thing, and we bought a walker with exciting noisy features and a shape sorting box. Elsie loves them and playtime has become much more enjoyable again. Hooray!!!!
Even though I'm trying very hard to become more diligent at getting my housework done, I want to make sure I keep a good balance between Elsie focus and chores. I don't want to be a mom who spends all her time keeping her house spotless, and then miss out on all the special Elsie moments that are the reason why I became a mom. But to be honest, I don't think I need to worry too much... it's highly unlikely my house will ever be spotless anyhow!!!!!
