My goal (I'm not calling it a
resolution since those tend to be broken easily) for the year is to try to get
more organized and more regularly work on the "other household
cleaning/projects" that I often put off--you know, things like vacuuming
the stairs, filing, mending, etc. I do pretty well with laundry and the
dishes and other things that really need to be done regularly. My kitchen
counters and tables may not get a thorough cleaning as often as ideal but they
do get cleaned fairly regularly. But there is plenty else around here
that I have been pretty bad about procrastinating on.
So far this year, I have been doing better. I've gotten a
lot of the filing done. Over the past few days, I have mended a bunch of
things that needed mending. I've vacuumed the stairs, and while I was
vacuuming, I realized that lack of a decent stair tool was the big reason I
always put this off, so I added that to my Amazon wish list. I am in the
middle of cleaning my drain rack (it's soaking as I type). I have hemmed
my son's tux pants for the wedding in a week. We are all working on
teaching the 3-1/2-year-old to pick up after himself (which will help all of us
keep areas clean). Overall, I think I'm doing pretty well for someone who
really hates cleaning. I hope I can really keep this up because it will
make me feel so much better to have my house cleaner.
So, here's looking forward to a cleaner year!
Does anyone else have any goals for 2013? How are they shaping up?
