Slip-sliding away

Geez, it's so easy to slide back into old patterns, unhealthy routines.  I get so caught up in whatever I'm doing at the moment, I lose sight of what I SHOULD be doing.  I sit here snacking on a bag of peppermint muddybuddies and next thing you know, the bag is mostly empty.

I love that shiny sink, but I have been too lazy to do the dishes at night. Maybe not lazy, but distracted.  Last night I spent hours organizing 3 "organizers" that I've collected over the last 20 years - drawers of files, paper, desk items such as paper clips, etc. - in an attempt to get them down to ONE organizer.  So I have a sink-full of dishes, plus the big pan from 2 nights ago... or was it 3?  I'm already sucking at this "single parent" thing and I've only been dong it for 3 weeks.

BUT!  I've made my bed every day! Maybe if I post pictures, I'll be more inclined to do stuff?  IDK.

I'm almost done with the organizer things, so then I'll be able to get them out of the kitchen and re-purpose them.

Another try

I've been trying to FLY for a long time. Some times I am more successful than others but the fact remains that I want to try. Now that I am not under his thumb anymore, I'm also (mostly) done looking for and craving his acceptance and approval. I'm cleaning on purpose for ME and my kids. Not because anyone is going to stop by or he is expecting it. I'm doing it for me.
