Today, Flylady told me to get dressed to lace up my shoes first thing this morning. I had a hard time waking up, considering I had to at 4:00 am. When I finally pulled myself out of bed, I dressed myself and tied my shoes.
Clearly, there is a meaning behind getting dressed to lace my shoes. Here it is: If I get up and get dressed (even if I am to stay home all day), I just feel better about myself. If I take pride in myself, then it is much easier to take pride in my home. Flylady says this is the beginning of my home control journal.
When I got home from work, instead of laying on the couch I went to the kitchen and cooked dinner. Like I said before, we have only been at this place a month. I have yet (until today) to come home from work and cook dinner. Instead, I leave that to my husband, and we end up having frozen dinners (gross). We had our family dinner at the table, and the children helped me clear the table. Get this: I washed the dishes! I did not let them set and wait on my husband to get them. I washed them!
By the way, Joseph noted changes in me over the last couple of days- good changes. I did not want to tell him what I was doing, because I feared he would think I wouldn't stick to it (like last time). Of coarse, I cannot keep any secrets from my husband, so I told him all about it. He told me that he knew I would stick to it this time, because he could tell that there is change in me. That really boosted my self esteem.
Trust me, if it were not for my ex-Marine of a husband, my house would be total chaos and clutter. I am thankful for everything he does.
Now, I am off to shine my sink before going to bed (FlyLady's orders).
