Getting back on track

At last! A day with no major issues. I woke up humming "If I were a Rich Man" and giggling to myself that the song was still going through my head. I stayed up until midnight watching the movie. It was awesome! I was incredibly tired today though. I woke up around 7:45 thinking I didn't want to wake John up so I'd just read in bed. When I woke up again around 11, he was up and wondering what happened to me. lol

I had previously spoken about doing a liver cleansing. Yesterday I went to the vitamin store and talked with them about it. I ended up getting a whole body cleanse for first time cleaners. That sounds funny, doesn't it? Well, I started that today. I'll let you know what happens. Not in detail, of course, but how it makes me feel and how it improves my health.

I redid my list of goals. Here are the home ones. The rest are just being bumped to this week, since so much of last week was spent getting myself together from being sick.

Kitchen:
Day 1 - Clear counters
Day 2 - Organize fridge, stove and surrounding cabinets.
Day 3 - Clear table of all non-dining stuff and keep set for meals, reorganize pantry
Day 4 - Section A of cabinets
Day 5 - Section B of cabinets
Day 6 - Section C of cabinets
Day 7 - really scrub floors and glass

Bedroom:
Day 1 - Clear Section A
Day 2 - Clear Section B
Day 3 - Clear Section C
Day 4 - Clear all tops of dressers and so forth and wipe down all furniture
Day 5 - Vacuum and put in shelving units I bought
Day 6 - Clean out armoire
Day 7 - Windows and blinds

Bathroom:
Day 1 - Clear window seat
Day 2 - Sort out toiletries and clear counter
Day 3 - Linen closet cleaned out and orgainzed
Day 4 - Empty closets and hang up our stuff (we have no bedroom closets)
Day 5 - Clean above and below sink area. Nothing on the counters any more except toothbrushes and toothpaste
Day 6 - Normal weekly cleaning
Day 7 - Windows and floors

That's it for the revised goals. I am starting the five day blitz again on Monday too. I have such high hopes for this week! It's going to be another busy one. The school has a carnival on Friday. I'm working in the chocolate booth. How fun is that! However, I will have to be sure to have some non-dairy chocolate on hand for me to eat. I'm not willing to even consider having dairy again.

We had a quiet day today. It felt good to not have to worry about being somewhere on time, or running errands or anything like that. I just kinda vegged and took care of a few things. I didn't get as much done I planned, but I am getting stuff done. I'm thinking bed at 11 tonight. I want to do some reading in the Dave Ramsey book and, ok, I want to watch the end of the NCIS marathon. lol I love that show.

That's about it right now. I don't have too much going on today. I'm enjoying being relaxed and stress free. I have one more day to get myself and my family organized before the craziness starts again. hehehe I love being busy. It sure beats being sick. Plus, I have quite a few things that I'm getting together. I have an idea for the Mother's Day thing at church, but I have to see how many moms we're going to have. I just don't know it we can pull it off. More details later.

Here's today verse:

Proverbs 31:13 [amp]

13She seeks out wool and flax and works with willing hands [to develop it].

I want to remember that - willing hands. She works with willing hands. I want to work with willing hands, even when I don't feel like it. I want to do everything with GUSTO! I want to greet all tasks, whether they be tickling the kids or taking out the trash, with willing hands. That's going to be my prayer tonight.
