My Goals

I set 2 goals for the week that Husband is gone.

The first goal was to not eat any junk food. Note I say was. That one hit the door about 6 hours after Husband left the door and the kiddos felt the need to push every single button I have. Yay, Blue Bell Banana Split ice cream. The ironic thing is that I set this goal for myself several days before Husband left, and since I knew I wasn't going to be eating junk for the whole week, I told myself that it was OK to just eat whatever I felt like since that would be it for at least the next week. Not so much.

The second goal is to organize something each day that he is gone. That one has been successful. Kiddos and I were at Target the other morning and there were several types of storage boxes for a super good deal, so I took advantage. I have gone through and organized the kid's craft cupboard, the pantry, the game cabinet, and each of the kid's toy closets. I also installed a shelf in Daughter's toy closet that we purchased before our trip to CA in May but hadn't installed yet. The directions on how to install it were not good, but with the assistance of a hammer and a few good whacks, the shelf went in beautifully. I am happy to say that I no longer fear for the lives of my children when they open their toy closets. Son's was so bad that on Tuesday I literally just closed my eyes and shut the door so that I wouldn't have to see what a disaster it was. It only took about 20 minutes of sorting, and not much throwing away, and it looked as good as new in there!

And the true question is... does anyone care that I cleaned out the closets? Did the kids even notice? Oh, the glamorous and exciting life of a SAHM.
