I know that I need to get something done.....and I have some good excuses racked up. I am eight months pregnant. It is very grey outside and sorta' warm in the house. Ooops, thought the word house--it needs some love right now. Mind numbing love, such as folding some laundry, making a bed or two and some dishes. Sometimes people don't understand how boring it is to clean (or maybe they do and procrastinate on it:). So what is my plan of attack for mind numbing love of the house and to break out of my funk????
MY TIMER!!!! Oh yeah, the world can be conquered in 15 minute increments! I am not kidding--I set my timer and grumble (but I know that 15 minutes isn't too long) and drag a towel to the towel bar...and so on. At the end of 15 minutes I am laughing that my whole room is done and I am already in the kids room. Time for round two..........you get it, the timer is the master of breaking through that mental pattern!!! Hopefully this is a message of hope to someone out there!
