Just Another Tuesday

So, this morning hubby and I woke up late and had a liesurly breakfast in the garden before he went off to work.

Then I preceded to do some laundry... in the middle of a field...in an evening gown. I so do love to do laundry in an evening gown!

NOT! Obviously... this isn't the truth. I really didn't do laundry in an evening gown. Well, none of it's true actually. :) I will say this, today has been probably one of the least un motivated days of my life...my life. It's not even that Im tired...I just have no get up and go. I don't want to clean, I don't feel like organizing, dishes seem just like a drag, doing yet another load of laundry seems so pointless. I don't even feel like doing anything that would be considered "relaxing" I don't want to watch tv, be on the computer... anything! I just don't know what to do!

From August 2, 2011

I have of course, taken care of played some games with the babies. But even they seem kind of out of it. We did have a really busy weekend and we were gone most of the day yesterday. I guess it's just one of those days where you need to wind down and reboot!

But Im curious, when the rest of you feel like a slug on a hot day (gross!) what do you do to get motivated? Cause Im am just out of ways of trying to trick myself into getting motivated!

I did consider doing those posts about our trip to Kentucky that I keep talking about... but organizing and going through the almost 1000 photos I took seem just like to much of a feat right now. Plus, I did post an album on facebook of Kentucky anyway. I know most of us are probably already friends on there, and if not... don't be shy.... Im a good friend! You can send me a request here and we can read each other's blogs through there too!

Well, have a good get up and go kind of day all!

Cleaning and Organizing! In My Dreams....

So, last weekend was Mother's Day and it was great and relaxing. Of course, since it was so relaxing I didn't do any cleaning and I knew Monday there was going to be extra to do. Then, Sunday night I was looking for an extension cord and could not find one absolutely anywhere. We have like 3 extension cords and live in a 2 bedroom apartment and none were to be found. Ggrrr!!! I was so upset and frazzled! I should have just stopped looking, but I felt that I had to find one and just started going through everything. The more I looked the more frustrated I became. Soon, I was pulling everything from out of the closets, digging everything from out under beds and couches and going through all storage containers, toy boxes and piles of papers. The whole time promising myself that on Monday I was absolutely going to organizer and clean every square inch of our home. I figure, why not pull out everything... it was all going to be organized anyway on Monday.. right??? Can we see where this is going.... lol :)



Wow... talk about a shameless photo upload!

So, Monday comes and I wake up to an overwhelming mess throughout the entire apartment. So sad.. I did actually feel motivated to clean and organize, but somehow I must have just totally lost my mind and traveled to imaginary perfect megville. Somehow I thought I would be able to clean and organize my entire household, get dinner done on time and take care care of a one and two year old and be finished by 3:30 in the afternoon. Ha!

Well, I am happy to say that although it took every free moment from my day, I DID clean and organize the entire living room. That includes sorting a bunch a piles of paper, organizing the coat closet and cleaning under all couches and stuff like that. I also rearranged everything a bit, I like our set up now much better. Although I didn't have time for major organizing and cleaning (scrubbing out the oven, alphabetically sorting the pantry, ect...) I did still have time to do dishes and general clean up. Yeah!





I'll be doing more organizing this next week, Lord willing. I love organizing, just hate the cleaning part! Maybe I'll be able to get my mom to watch the girls for a day and I'll just go all over the house cleaning like a crazy person!!! I think I'll do that next time I want to attempt such a large cleaning project. How do all the other people go about organizing their households?? Is there a good system I need to know?? Then how do you keep it like that?!?!?!
