Trying to Get on My Feet

I spent too much time laying down this morning. Mentally I am not great. But I have since gotten back up. I've been cleaning baseboards. To do it, I've been using my orange duster. Honestly the constant bending makes me sore. I want a longer duster that I can stay up right with when I … Continue reading Trying to Get on My Feet

My Planner!

I am back to using a planner again. I'm using one that was custom designed for me several years ago by an Etsy shop owner who has since closed. It isn't completely perfect for me now. Because I could use more space in the homeschooling columns for next year, and I want the cleaning section … Continue reading My Planner!

Cleaning Schedule

I am thinking of creating a more solid cleaning schedule. As it stands, I just do things as I can when they need to be done - like picking up before my husband gets home, cooking dinner, or mopping floors. But a schedule might help me keep the house extra clean and inspire me to … Continue reading Cleaning Schedule

Sick

I still have some nausea and vomiting, plus I have come down with a respiratory cold. Needless to say, I am not at my best. But while my body is tired, my mind is very much awake. I dropped my daughter off at school, and I put together a huge grocery order for pickup. I … Continue reading Sick

Great Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend. My husband was home Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Friday, we drove across town to a coffee shop my husband loves. Then we got lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. Saturday was the best day of the three. We went to a gorgeous historic plantation in a state park. I got … Continue reading Great Weekend

Scheduling to Increase Productivity

My schedule is sometimes wide open during the day, which I love. I can do what I need to when I'm ready, and do what I want when I feel up to it. However, because of depression this sometimes means I don't get as much done as I could. Sometimes having a forcing function to … Continue reading Scheduling to Increase Productivity

Tasks I Want To Do

My husband gets home from El Salvador tomorrow night. I haven't been on top of my homemaking. I started the week extremely depressed. As of yesterday I was starting to perk up, but I haven't been sleeping great at night so I've been sleeping a lot during the day. My father in law goes home … Continue reading Tasks I Want To Do

Long Days Alone

Angelica has started school, so I am settling in to long days at home alone. There's plenty to do, but time to rest too. Being at home when your kids go to school is a nice break. I miss homeschooling and having her with me all day, but this is a lot less stress. Yesterday … Continue reading Long Days Alone
