I specifically remember a conversation I had with two of my closest friends right before I got married, standing in my kitchen at our first apartment obsessing over how to get the black marks off of our white linoleum floor. I was worried that I would spend so much time cleaning and being "busy," that I would neglect more important things like spending time with my new husband. Based on my track record of being slightly OCD/overachiever/organized-fanatic up until that point, it was a legitimate concern.
Fast forward 2.75 years. Um, girls, your prayers paid off. I, CLEARLY, function in extremes. It seems these days, I NEVER do housework or any of the other "chores" that need to get done. *I am however, excellent at updating my blog, eating three square meals a day, and finding time to go late night shopping with my sister.
I need some balance.
SO... Inspired by this post from one of my new favorite bloggers, I am officially designating today: Get Things Done Day 2010. My "To Do" list has been growing for weeks and, instead of making me feel free, I feel stressed, dirty, and weighed-down.
I won't be checking my blog anymore today. (Trust me, this will be incredibly difficult.) I will be cleaning, picking up drycleaning, making my bed, returning a few phone calls, etc. etc. etc.
Thank you for your support.
(And, in the meantime, make SURE you enter my giveaway for an awesome monogrammed bag!)
See you tomorrow!
I need a day like yours to get everything done. Now that softball season has started I have not been getting home before 8 or 9 every night and it is really taking its toll on my laundry room.
