Okay, I Slipped....

So, the day before yesterday we ordered takeout. I did not clean anything. I said I will pick up and do it the next day. I was just so exhausted (see, that's always my excuse). Yesterday, I came home from work tired (again). My home is lacking. I keep kicking myself,  but I know that I am only human.

I learned from that mistake. I know that to keep a clean house, I must do a little each day. A little is better that doing a lot on my weekend off.

With that being said, I now have to clean the downstairs again- which isn't a disaster area like before, but this could have been avoided (kicking myself again). When I finish the task of cleaning downstairs, I have to get upstairs- which by the way isn't pretty. My bedroom has become a sanctuary for clean laundry.

Our bedroom suit got ruined in our last house. We had  stored it in the basement, and mold got the best of it. If I keep my bedroom clean for one month (which has never happened in the 25 years I've been on this earth), then I will reward myself with a brand new bedroom suit! If that isn't motivation, I do not know what is!

On a different note, I bought a brand new mop last night- with a scrubber! YEEHAW! Just writing about my bedroom reminds me that I must go buy clothes hangers! I am off to purchase those, and I shall return to start my tasks!

Just knowing that you guys read this helps keep me on track, thanks!


Here is a glimpse about my next post. Now, I will actually get around to hanging the Bob Marley poster up in my bedroom...see what I mean about the laundry sanctuary:
