Day 3: My typical Monday usually consists of... ugh ok I admit it... McDonalds breakfast ( since Cameron already ratted me out in his blog) followed by some time playing with the girls, nick jr., lunch, nap, lounge time for mommy for about two hours/or napping with the girls, then dinner, family time and bed.
For some reason I have a terrible time getting motivated on Mondays. Possibly because its day 2 of my weekend and I dread going back to work the next day. It has become routine for me to say "ill do it later" or "maybe tomorrow" numerous times from about 7am-11pm on Mondays. Not today!
After our breakfast we took a shower and got ready to go the mall with my mom. After returning home about 3 hours later we ate lunch and the girls went down for a nap with no problems. This is usually prime lazy mommy time but I made myself keep going. I knew that if i sat down it was over. I ended up shaking out the rugs and dog bed, sweeping/cleaning the entry way and kitchen floors, straightening the living room, paying bills, and lighting candles within an hour. After cooking some shrimp and broccoli stir fry and spending some time as a family, I washed my youngest (Jessi's) bedding, went to the grocery store, did another load of laundry, and made Cameron's lunch for tomorrow.
While this may sound like listing all the little things I got accomplished today that I should be doing anyway.. I am really highlighting the bigger accomplishment of not letting myself say "ill do it later"! I notice, as I'm sitting down writing this at 10pm having everything done for the day, I feel great about my attitude and what I got done. Now if I could only keep that attitude every day!
*I have to give some credit to my children who behaved very well today (for the most part). My productivity partially depends on their moods too.*
