My Inner Dialogue Does a 180

The struggle is real, y'all.  I had so many intentions going into this summer.  However, I've struggled to go so far as to put on pants each much less actually get any projects done.  I feel like I am failing at life right now.

All I want to do is read, write, and game.  That's it.  That's all I want to do.  Well ... that and lightly snack.  Ok ... and occasionally drink.  The point is, nothing I want to do is really all that productive.  There are so many things that NEED to be done that are things that would improve our home, yet I can't get myself motivated enough to do it.

I need to paint in the living room.  I need to clean out and paint the laundry room.  I need to organize the clothes hanging in my closet.  There's no organization and it's starting to drive me nuts!

You know - that's it.  I'm going to start small and work up.  I'm going to make Rooster go into that laundry room with me and do something meaningful.  It's only 2:30 in the afternoon.  We have all kinds of time to start and finish the clean-out part.  We're not HOARDERS for crying it loud - it isn't THAT bad.

Awesome ... see?  I'm starting to feel better.  And now that I think about it ... I'm going to sit here and list the things I've done today - "meaningful" or not.

Took a shower
Took my car to get oil changed
Tidied the kitchen/loaded the dishwasher
Washed/dried one load of laundry
Talked to mom/made weekend plans
Finished Part Two/began Part Three of Fahrenheit 451
Took out trash
Published a blog post

That's not a wasted day!  I feel way better now!  Ok ... off to help my kid with a baking question, then I'm tackling the laundry room!

I'M WONDER WOMAN!
