Revelation

It has recently occured to me, sadly just now, that it is not going to get done unless I do it.

It's just that plain and simple.

When I was working outside the home, it was so easy to sit back and say, "I dont have time for that," or " I need to be spending my free time with my family." I do not consider these excuses. They were very valid reason for not re-organizing the closet or dusting the fan blades. Family time was and still is top priority.

Now that I have found found myself with abundant supply of family time, I no longer have my valididation for not dusting. Many times I have opened my hallway closet and thought, "this closet sure does need to be sorted!" and subsequently closed the door and walked away.

No more my friends!

I had an epiphany this morning that, get this, NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO DO IT! My husband is pretty great about taking out trash, putting away his own laundry (when it is clean and folded *grin*), but closet organizing and sorting is not his forte...nor do I think I would want it to be. So, I bit the bullet and it's finished, nice and tidy. I was even able to get rid of some of the toy clutter from my playroom, I mean, leaving room. It only took a half hour. I feel great about it! The kids now have their own space for puzzles, playdoh, games, and coloring books.

This recent revelation also applies to cleaning behind the toilet, on top of the fridge, and under the beds. One of these days, my hope is that the kids will be big helpers and do some of these things with me, but until then...If its to be, its up to me!

Off to do anything other than clean out the other 4 closests that are so desperatly neglected.

Tip of the day: Don't put off for tomorrow what can be done today (easier said than done, I know!)
