As Christmas rapidly approaches the list of things that still needs to be done looms over my head. Presents that still need to be bought. Christmas cards still need to be ordered. Decorations need to be put up, and presents need to be wrapped. It's overwhelming. I did some this weekend, but can't do anymore until the 1st of December. I could start wrapping, but that's my least favorite part of all the holiday stuff. It doesn't take long, it's mostly motivating myself to actually do it.
I'm blah today. I'm not sure why. No drive to really do anything, but I'm doing laundry anyway, because Monday I'd like to have the house vacuumed, and mopped. Tuesday is bathrooms, and more laundry. Then Wednesday I hope to be able to relax other than the normal load of dishes, kitchen clean up and baby toy pick up. I have stuff I need to do, but the sound of a whining baby is enough to deter me from even trying to get anything accomplished. She only takes one nap now, and during that one nap I don't want to do anything but enjoy the silence. I always end up picking up or cleaning up something. Feels like some days that's all that I do. Though, I know some days I don't do anything.
Some times I wonder why I work so hard to have a clean house. I do it for selfish reasons, but I also do it for my family. I guess at times I feel that it isn't appreciated. It feels more like a battle then anything else. Can the house be completely clean for a day before it is in complete disarray again? I know what the solution is, but I can't seem to implement it. It's more work then just doing the constant battle of clean up, if that makes sense.
So now that the baby is asleep and baby dishes are soaking. I guess I better go wash dishes, and fold a load of laundry.
Might be back later to vent more of my thought, if not I'm sure I'll blog again tomorrow. Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday.
