I am taking control back of my life. For the past few years, I have put everything on the back burner, always saying I would get to it later. I think a lot of it has to do with the daycare ~ at the end of the day, I just didn't care about much of the little detail stuff in my own home.
Today, I organized my pantry. Like Pinterest-style organized! All my stuff is in glass containers. I put together a shelf of kid-friendly snacks my kids can access whenever they want.
Then, I moved on to my fridge. Threw out anything that was old, questionable, unhealthy. Again, put together a bin of healthy snacks for my kiddos.
Moved on to my cabinets. I now have a whole box of yard sale stuff, and a big old sense of calm. We are going to have the yard sale to beat all yard sales in the Spring. Between closing the daycare, being done having children, and cleaning all my stored away junk, we could furnish a small family completely!
My husband and I sat down and came up with a strict but realistic budget. We will have our debt paid off completely in two years (aside from the mortgage). I will have to stop my compulsive shopping and party planning, but I can do that.
We then designed our garden that we intend to actually build this year. And we will really build it this year.
I then went through my boys' bureaus and pacakaged up anything outgrown for my nephew. Ahhhh, it feels good!
I have always had a little dream of what my homelife should/would be like. I have most everything I want ~ great kids, amazing husband, beautiful home and a nice community. So now, it is time to move on to the next step and take care of the nitty-gritty wish list. And I am doing it!
Monday, I am getting this fat, steroid-puffy butt on my elliptical. And I am going to try and cook and entire week of meals without any prepared anything (I should have done this one a long time ago).
It is AMAZING what a week off and a day of truly motivated thinking can do for you. I had a few days this week of sitting around in my pajamas and reading, and today, I was ready to go.
Excuse the go-me rant ~~~~ I just was feeling happy, and knew that this was the place to share and not be judged for it. I hope you all have a great night!!!!! lovethis
