Day 6 of 31 Days to Clean

So this one is going to a little difficult just because Sara didn't give me much to go on. It makes sense in the fact that I do have at least 6 things that I have to accomplish tomorrow but I have so many more than that. Then there is also the things that I know I should do but always seem to get pushed off and maybe never done. So how do I choose what 6 things to put on my list? I have no idea and the challenge is to do this for 6 whole days....guess I better figure it out. 

Here's what I think I'm going to do for now and we will see if it works. The regular things that I have planned already won't count on my list (like my group I do to on Wednesday nights) but it will include things that I need to get done but tend to have a hard time getting them done right now.

1.) Alone time with God (probably in my Bible study). This has become an issue for me because I normally do this in the morning and now that Miah is no longer traveling and his hours have changed to 11am to 8pm our family time is first thing in the morning. I'm going to make sure that I get this into my day routinely for the next 6 days and hopefully find a time that works best for us.

2.) Clean the kitchen again! Yes this is something I have to do everyday several times a day but most times it just ends up being once right after lunch but after our dinner tonight it will have to be in the morning before breakfast.

I'm already struggling with 6 things for tomorrow. I'm planning to be at my parents all day so Rex can play in his own private play place. Tomorrow will be the first day that we pull out the pool so he will have swimming, sand box, and swing set plus his playroom inside. There isn't much that I'm going to need to do tomorrow because I won't be home to do it.

3.) Pack a lunch and all of our cloth diapers plus some disposable just in case we run out.

4.) Blog. Well maybe it will depend if I get some down time tomorrow.

5.) Wash cloth diapers when I return home.

Ok I can't really think of anything else that I feel fits the list but just so everyone knows that I will do more then just this here is everything I will do tomorrow...

Wake up
Shower
Put Miah's work clothes in the dryer
Clean the kitchen (Miah will get Rex ready around this time)
Cook breakfast 
Clean the kitchen again
Go to my parents house and get the pool ready 
Come back home
Pack a lunch and everything Rex will need for the rest of the day
Play with Rex until Miah is ready to leave
Go to my parents and play with Rex
Cook lunch
Put Rex down for a nap
Quiet time (quiet time with God, blog, read, talk to mom)
Get Rex up and head outside for more play time
Eat something for dinner
Get picked up for my Wednesday night group
Spend 3 hours with some awesome women who love God
Get dropped off at dad's and pick up the car for Thursday
Go home
Wash cloth diapers 
Go to bed!

Yep! I do more than 6 things a day and this doesn't include all the diaper changes, nose wipes, time outs, hair pulling that occurs too. So that's my Wednesday in a nut shell and that is going to be an easy day. Who ever thinks that being a SAHM isn't exhausting and busy they should try it for a week and see if they are more tired being home or being at work. 

Good night! I need my sleep so I can get everything done tomorrow.

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...
