Kelsey at Rising Shining wrote a great post about Thursday House that really resonated with me. I realized that not only does my house sort of fall apart by the end of the week, so, too, does my mood, my whole mindset. I am ready for a couple of days to veg and do nothing and catch up on housework, but I still have to slog through 2 more days of doing all the things. This morning, Ben even thought that today was Saturday.
So, I did my very best to banish the Thursdays by:
- Doing a quick tidy of bedrooms with Pledge and the vacuum as well as a very bleachy bathroom wipe-down.
- Baking some banana muffins to weed out old fruit and make the house smell great.
- Walking for an hour with a friend
- Waking with the kids during nap
- Doing the crappiest tasks on my work to-do list first
- Laying off the coffee before I got the shakes
- Appreciating my very toddliest of toddlers.
Ok, I do that last one every day.
