Organisation...

Yesterday I posted about laundry. How exciting right! Just what you want to read when you click on someone's blog. Well it is if your a house wife, a maid and a mother. How to do it quicker, less work, less effort, more washed, blah blah blah. In the end no matter how much reading you do you still have to stop the reading and do the washing. Although I am getting a workable system happening.

I have noticed that feeling of 'whelm' has just about gone. The OVER whelm I am talking about. Where you look around and see work, and jobs, and chores, and things that need doing, tidying, throwing out, de-cluttering, putting away, hidden, lost, etc. That is amongst all other things that need doing on a regular basis.

I must admit it sure felt like all I was doing was jobs jobs jobs. Now that I have been getting into 2 jobs per week they hardly need doing as time goes on.

Like the bathroom. Now that it has been scrubbed shiny white and clean with the grimey stuff gone and we have a new plug and I smashed open the drain pipe (no joke - it broke when I hit it with the hammer) the bathroom is finally looking clean(ER). & it took me maybe 5-10minutes to do a WEEKLY clean (new development). It gets tidied daily but not cleaned often enough for a tyre fitters bath tub.

The kids room just need/s toys picking up, beds made and a vacuum. Instead of the monstrous task of sorting toys, packing toys, finding place to squish toys. Amazing what 8 52L tubs will do to a room! Although not having any clothing or wardrobes in that room sure helps with mess and clutter also.

I somehow managed to score hours and hours of guilt-free/no jobs/child spending time with the children where I didn't have to LOOK or SEE things that needed doing. Just sitting. Cuddling. Snuggling. Playing. Giggling. While still having that satisfaction that jobs had been done, rooms tidied and clutter gone. I often play and sit with the children but in the back of my mind is the thoughts that there are things that need doing.

The children will remember the times that we spent together.

While the most important things to do is sitting it is a nicer feeling to do so guilt-free, burden-less, job-less.

But I guess the real test is how it all comes about tomorrow :)
When I try do the same thing xx
