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?
Good for you! Sounds like you are on the road to making some great progress!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shannon. I hope so!
DeleteI was really on a roll today. After posting, I continued to clean the fan grate above the stove (ew!) and do some vacuuming and germ warfare in the kitchen and family room (with Ace's being sick and the brother-in-law's wedding next week, I really want to disinfect as often as possible).
