Making Progress
So one week is done with my challenge of changing my thinking. These baby steps are working.
My first weekly goal was to clean my kitchen every night before going to bed. This is so that in the morning I am greeted with a clean rather than dirty kitchen and my day can start better.
Well, on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best I have ever done and 1 being I didn't even try...I would rate myself at a 7.5. I did well, but I can do better, I did not clean one night due to my stomach hurting and I didn't care. However, I can say that I accomplished something. I stuck to my goal and I forced myself to do it even when I didn't want to. I also felt a real since of yeah, this is working as the week went on. I can't explain it really, it's a feeling of true satisfaction...one I haven't honestly felt in a while. I have kinda just been existing rather than living in the house.
In fact, I am noticing that I am caring more about many more things, and I am working at trying to get the kiddos to care more as well.
On to Weekly Goal #2.

Weekly Goal # 1
I have decided that in order to completely change my thinking habits and make myself change from being a "Messy" to more of a "Cleanie" I need to take baby steps...ie a weekly goal.
This weeks Goal:
To not go to bed without cleaning the kitchen, loading the dishwasher, and making the sink clear for the next morning.
I think it doable. This is a major area that needs to be worked on. Daily...and weekly, and monthly, and yearly, and lifely...so we will start with the daily of it all.
Off I go to clean the kitchen...

A New Blog
I've decided that I need a second blog...one just for me.
This is going to be an account of how I am going to change my thinking from being a MESSY person to a person who has her household more under control.
It's going to be a place where I can write my frustrations and joys when I have accomplished a new goal.
It's come out of my New Year's Resolution. My goal for this year is to have my house cleaner, more organized more undercontrol than I did on the first day of 2010. So I have 364 days to accomplish my goal.
I am needing a way to be accountable to this goal and blogging is going to be my tool.
Come and join me on my journey from being an out of Control Messy Person to someone who has her home life undercontrol and her house her true castle and retreat.
