How quickly Monday comes around

Yep, Monday again! My rooms of the day are the bedrooms. I’ll also going to start a new Procrastination project, inspired by last weeks. This week it’s the books. We have hundreds of childrens books scattered in various places throughout the house, so I am going to sort out those that can be put away from those that are read constantly, to try & declutter out loungeroom a bit.

Last week’s PT project was a great success, all toys are sorted, and I’ve freed up a heap of space. I’m so glad I finally got it done!

All my new habits are going ok, I did slip a bit with the washing last week, but managed to catch up easily over the weekend, and now my washing hamper is lovely and empty! What a wodnerful way to start a new week.

Happy Monday!

Today’s rooms of the day were the loungeroom, hall way & office. Luckily my office is still in great shape, I’ve been fastidious about putting things away when I’ve finished with them to keep my studio space as tidy, inspirational & productive as I can. On the up side, I managed to finish my procrastination task, and the toddler’s toys are now all sorted into three boxes, and I’ve freed up 3 drawers to use for storage of other bits & pieces one collects with children about.

On the down side, my menu plan for tonight has fallen by the wayside – it was supposed to be fish, but I didn’t get to the fish shop to grab some fresh pieces earlier. Not sure what I’m going to do now… But anyway, one night isn’t so bad, right?

Terrific Tuesday!

Today is a lovely sunny day, very mild, and not a hint of winter. Today, I am cleaning the kitchen & dining room as my rooms of the day, and still pondering working on my toy procrastination. I can’t lie, I haven’t started yet, but I have all week! I will get a wriggle on this arvo once the small one is awake & I can work in his room without disturbing him.

Now my mojo is back in full force, I once again have time for guilt-free indulgence time. I am about 1/3 way through a new quilt, and have project ideas coming out my ears! So that’s a bit of an incentive to stick to my routines & habits, so that I have time to do all the fun stuff as well!

Monday again…

My word, it doesn’t take long for a week to roll around again! We have had a lovely weekend, very productive, but not busy, if that makes sense! We made a sandpit for the toddler, I cleaned out my office, and I’m halfway through my current quilting project.

So, now the mojo is back on board, I’m getting stuck back into the routine. For now I’m just going to roll with my little weekly cycle, I think it will be a couple of weeks until I’m caught up enough to deal with weekly themes or obscure jobs. I’m actually thinking of switching from the weekly theme/obscure job routine, to picking a larger job I’ve been procrastinating on, and working say 15 minutes a day on getting that project done.

With that plan in mind, today’s room of the day is that bedrooms. I got stuck in & dusted & cobwebbed our room on Friday, but the other bedrooms need to be done, beds need to be stripped & changed, all the general stuff. I might even try & get the windows cleaned! Procrastination project for this week is to sort out Duckling’s toys. I gave his room a good tidy over the weekend, and my current setup of drawers, boxes & a bit of a mishmash just aren’t working anymore. So I need to:

*sort out toys & rotate
*redistribute into boxes
*put baby toys into seperate box/drawer ready for baby
*run up a couple of bags for puzzles without boxes

I’m sure I’ll work out more as I go along! But if I get at least these things done, I’ll be happy!
