I have so much to do tonight and it's a tad...okay very...overwhelming. I have the whole upstairs and main floor to straighten and/or clean and tons of laundry to do. It's weighing me down and making it hard to get motivated. This is the part about housework that I struggle with the most. I need to start just sucking it up and doing it whether I want to or not. So I thought that would make a good blog post. By getting it all out of my head, maybe I can get motivated to get it all done. Nikolas deserves to have a birthday party in a clean house and I WILL give that to my son. I have my list made and ready to go but up first is making Andrew's bed and getting his room straightened and vacuumed. Being so pregnant makes me dread making beds and having to bend down to declutter his floor. I think that's what is holding me back the most. So how do I overcome my lack of motivation at this moment? I will start by babystepping it...I will get Andrew's room done. Andrew and Nikolas are both "sleeping" in Nikolas's room tonight. They just do not go to sleep well when sleeping in the same room. So I will have to wait on cleaning Nikolas's bedroom till tomorrow morning. His room really isn't all that bad, just needs the bed made, floor decluttered and vacuumed.
I guess what is going to motivate me is thinking about my family, Erek included of course. These boys mean the world to me and Erek works so hard for us! He deserves to come home to a clean and straightened house! I want to surprise him with that when he walks in the door tonight from work. Maybe he won't even notice and that's okay...he'll feel the difference. My husband deserves so much and I WILL give him what he needs. I know my primary love language is "acts of service" and that's how I show my love for my family. That should be enough to get my ass out of this chair and go do it, but I struggle with it so bad!
Well if I am going to truly change to become a better person/homemaker I have to start now. Not tomorrow or next week but now! I did so well this morning and I'm learning that the mornings and late evenings are my most productive times. It's just about dark out now so maybe I'll get a second wind. I wish my nesting instinct would have kicked in an hour ago! I need to get myself jump started...I need my battery recharged. I WILL do this for my kids and my husband! There's no time like the present! Here's to me becoming a better person and homemaker for my children and my wonderful husband!
