Coffee doesn't seem to be cutting it anymore. I have found over the years that the more children I have and the less I use my brain, the more I seem to shut down as a rational and intelligent creature. I was once such a creature. I was well manicured. I was well fed. I was in good form. Now I am a mash of musch. No offence to those of you who may have that as a last name, but it seemed more expressive with the "c" in there. It sounds better too. Musch. Say it out loud! Isn't it great! So lately I have been taking care to cream my hands and feet. I painted my fingernails. It still counts even though it was at the request of my four year old girl! I found a book called "31 Days to Clean" and found it quite motivating. My fridge is as clean as it has been since the day the fridge delivery people twisted the little feet on the bottom of it to make the fridge stand up straight. Simple little things to keep us from falling over... Maybe that could be the alternative title for this blog.
I thought I would also start a blog for the purposes of exercising my brain. I used to feel like I could be mildly entertaining in written word. At least to myself and to my mom. I also used to spell.. so you will get your name up in lights on this blog as a super good speller if you catch me in grammatical and spelling errors.
(Obvious typing errors only get a pat on the back for the person who catches them and a sticky note on your forehead for being too much of a perfectionist).
I think for the next little while I will chart my daily progress at getting my house from overwhelmingly, chaotically, messy to a happy place that I can be proud to have people into.
Drop by to catch me in the act.
Simply because the the nature of a blog is to post self indulgent information... i will likely also post photos of my kids and anything else I find amusing.
Here begins the first day of getting life in order.
