So I committed to spend 1 week at home. 1 whole week of not running, no apts, no playgroups nada just home. In theroy it sounds good but didnt quite work friday eve hubby wanted us to run errand with him so we did. Wed will be 1 week for us so we have had 4 days at home and 1 day in the middle with some running in it. The kids were tired, I was tired. The kids were cranky, I was cranky. The kids felt disconnected from home, I felt disconnected from home. Our home was trashed, our animals feeling neglected. So weve been home for 4 days. WOW. The first 2 I was useless I couldnt think, couldnt function, couldnt clean. The kids played with their toys, they cleaned their rooms without me asking it took 2 full days of them playing and cleaning but they did it their way and it looks good. Friday we played and then we went with hubby and ran errands we came home and watched tv. Sat was amazing we ALL got up and cleaned together, the house looks like a home, it feels great. Is it CLEAN no not so much but its neat and not trashed. I could do floors again, I could move stuff in the kitchen, cleaning under them and I could get cobwebs down lol but im thrilled that dishes are done my mound of laundry is folded, the bathroom is clean the kids rooms are fun for them to play in and not overwhelming to be in. Then we had friends over for dinner just ate and enjoyed each other. Today it was equally awesome slept in and got up and just touched stuff up picked up the living room floor. Taught the kids how to do laundry (lol they are thrilled, just wait though im sure it will wear off) have been folding ALL DAY LONG it seems. Tomorrow and tues who knows what we will do but we will be home. After that we have homeschool group on wed and then friday we leave out of town for a long weekend. I have to say this has made me open my eyes and realize running everyday is not needed. With winter coming we just naturally stay home more, we need to focus on home. Btw even the animals are happy! |
