Alphabets!

Okay, so we do a preschool group with two other families in the ward, and it works out wonderful. During Christmas time, though, I got ahead by two letters. So today, when my housework (or the lack there of) has driven me crazy, I made a decision: We are going to take a day off and have a play day. We went upstairs, and the kids played dress up, we built car tracks, train tracks, dressed up as super heroes and had sword fights, and played tickle monster (With me as the monster, of course. The kids were armed with foam swords, and I would grab the sword, pull them in and tickle them, then let them go and it would all start over again!) Well, in between helping with costume changes and things, I got so much done! My upstairs hall is cleaned out and looks like a regular family, not just a frat group lives here! The kids rooms got cleaned and everything put away (though after 4 children playing dress up, it needs to be tidied again), and I scrubbed the bathroom. Yay! I'm starting to get back into the swing of things! My house will get more organized! I don't do traditional "Resolutions" each year, I just set a few goals that I would like to improve on. I feel like if I say "I will lose 30 pounds" or "I'll do ______ every day!" then I'm setting myself up to fail, since with my luck something will happen, and it won't get done. My goal is to be better at housework and keeping things organized. So, it's out there now! I guess I'd better get cracking! I've taken a 30 minute break, relaxing and writing this, so now back to laundry and working on my bedroom. Wish me luck!
