Thoughts while sitting still for a minute in the middle of a busy cleaning day
The problem with cleaning my house is that when I get really close to one thing so I can wash it, I can see 10 more things that need washing. This is how I can spend 90 minutes working as hard as I can, cross half a dozen things off the list, and still end up with a list that is twice as long as it was when I started. The revised list includes such items as “repaint the whole house” and “buy new furniture.” Then I start fretting over the money I don’t have to spend on those projects. This is why I don’t clean as often as I should. Of course the not cleaning as often as I should is part of why I’m in this mess in the first place. Whee.
Today also brought the realization that I’m just not going to be able to get around to responding to comments made on my LJ for the last week or more. I’m also not going to get around to making comments to other people’s entries. Nor am I going to be an active forum participant on my writer’s forum. I believe this is the fault of having all the kids home all day long. It may also be due to the large events I’ve had to prepare for. Whatever the reason, I have decided not to feel bad about it. Things will settle down again next week.
