Having an Up day...

Ain't husbands great? (Yes, I know ain't, ain't a word... but I ain't going to stop... so SUCK IT TREBEK!)

My hubby and I had a good talk Saturday night... after, I admit, me having a bit of a tantrum...

This week we are not getting on the computer until we feel like we have accomplished something.

Monday we cleaned out the pantry and vacuumed the whole house and I did laundry during the day around errands.

Tuesday Jer cleaned the bathrooms and I started painting the last bar stool and shelf that have been sitting in the garage waiting to be painted for over a year... Jer also put up the heating vents in the basement and the water access covers that have also been waiting for a year to get done... easy but for some reason just never gotten to. I also swept and mopped earlier in the day.

Each evening the kids have taken turns picking out a DVD... they only get one a day now... and we have sat down as a family to enjoy it.

Today I cleaned out and organized the shelves in the kitchen. I read to the kids, and I got the book order filled out for Goobers school. I have a hair appointment and I plan on going to the store and getting paint....

I have to say, it's really nice to feel like things are getting done, when before I was too overwhelmed to do them or to even start... now I feel like there is some hope that one day MAYBE I might get caught up. Maybe my house will look like mine (I'm going to see what can be done about painting the kitchen tonight), and maybe my house might get decluttered. But for now, just turning off the computer and sitting down to watch a movie as a family has helped me to realize (yet again) that most of those things don't matter as long as our family knows we love each other.

Needless to say, today is a good day. Hope it continues....

P.S. Jer is planning a trip to get me away from home for while and give me a chance to miss my kids... Sometimes missing them is a godsend and helps you realize what you have.
