I was already too annoyed to fall asleep! My baby was fidgeting in bed and did not seem like doing any sleeping soon! The idea was for the three of us to nap together but I decided to get up and go to the kitchen! There was a lot to do there anyway so I decided to get it done! Little did I know that those moments alone in there would do me so good! Not only was the kitchen looking a lot tidier, but I also had soup for the week and the air was filled with a mix of coconut bread and tomato sauce. Better than that, there was a lightness in my heart and my steps!
Those two hours were all about…I want to say me, but in fact they were all about my family! In not spending time with them I was making time for them!
You know, I am the mother of a beautiful baby girl, wife, cook, cleaning lady, struggling daughter of God and have a 6 hours a day job (soon to be 8 - ouch!).
I have had no projects recently –I really can’t find the time to read a book, to work out, to go out with friends, to try new recipes from the few cook books we bought over the past 3 years, nor to learn the cool tricks in my camera!
How do most people do it, I wonder?
The problem is that I don’t just want to do it, to survive my every day, to get things done and over with! I would really like being able to have a mostly clean and tidy home, with little effort (don't we all?), and to spend as much time as possible with my two loves!
I know it seems almost impossible - many have tried and failed! But I finally came up with a plan! I have been thinking about this for a few months and yesterday the last piece finally fell into place! Enough is enough! Let the decluttering begin...
This blog is part of the plan and will be my project for the year! I’ll face it as therapy! And as a way to be accountable! To whom? Well, to myself, at least!
It will be a register of my own ideas about getting the house, and my heart, fairly tidy and organized! And to see if they actually work out in real life! But how can we declutter the house and heart at the same time using the same tips? Just hang on...we'll get there soon!
