I just really suck at keeping them. I've even attempted to blog about my cleaning before, which has resulted in an almost-empty blog with close to one hundred half-written drafts known only to me. I even make up plans and timelines, and then those get so easily derailed. Partly because I'd rather craft and sew than cook and clean, and partly because I get easily... Ooo! Shiny!
But as my partner-in-crime, Sammie's Momma pointed out, it's better with friends! Here's hoping!
So the areas of my goals for this blog center around getting back on track with a few things, and most importantly sticking with them...
House - keep it clean, in part by making new cleaning schedules. We have been here for almost 2 years now and haven't updated our ones from our old house. Cleaning otherwise involves me cleaning what I prioritize, my husband cleaning what he prioritizes, and then once every few months one of us exploding because our priorities aren't the same. The kids can also get in on the action as well, and WANT to. I need to finish up their chore charts for their rooms. I also need to allow Hubs the time to work on his "honey-do" list, that grows by the day.
Kids/Schedules/Balance - It's getting better as they get older, but balancing out the needs of the one with the other is something I face daily. Most of the time the means of meeting the needs are flexible when they're not the same, but not always. I have little regret about how I've managed thus far, but every day can be a new challenge.
Me - I have some health/fitness goals I need to remember to schedule in as well. It's a vicious circle. When I have the time, I don't have the energy, and vice versa...
I think that's it for now...
We can totally do this! I think we're already making daily improvements because we're in the right mindset to make them :)
