Not enough hours

I'm sure everyone has said this, "There is not enough hours in the day"...

I could use a few more and today was no exception. Up at 5:30 am, at work by 8:00 am; don't even get me started about what needs to be done there!
 Leave work around 5:45 pm and run errands for my mother. Go to the nursing home to bring my mother her laundry and pick up yet more to wash. Her and her roomie wants to chat a while. Leave the home around 7:00 pm and home by 7:45 pm. Now I have a whole hour and a half to myself, sort of, until it's time for bed.
Cat's need food, I need food! (Yay, Cheerios again). Few minutes to try and catch up on the blogs I read. I'm not tired from all of this, at least not until I take my meds. I'm sure I mentioned this in a earlier post, I have Bi-polar so energy, most of the time, is not an issue.

Anyway - I purchased The FlyLady's book, Sink Reflections and I am going to get on the bandwagon and get this house into shape and make it a home. The holidays are fast approaching and it would be wonderful to not worry about how the place looks. I am realistic, I know it didn't take 3 months to get this way and it will take longer than 3 to get it into shape but any improvement is better than what I am looking at now.

You know I just realized the clutter issue has become the main topic in my blog. Need to add some fun posts in!

Anywho, this is enough ranting, venting, whining whatever you want to call it for now.

Until next time - Take Care.

Vacuuming

To all those helpful hubby's out there... look and pick up stuff before you vacuum. These cleaning machines don't work so well with a foam cat ball stuck in the tube! Thanks for help babe.

Habits...or lack thereof

I've been following FLYLady for a few months now and you would think my house would be getting into a reasonable state by now. I'm trying and then, not really. Most of the time my sink is shiny, at least when I go to bed it is. I've got a couple of hot spots under control - maybe I am expecting too much from myself. But then again, I'm am not taking those baby steps the way I should. Even though she (flylady) says it's okay to be on one step for a while.  Getting into the habit of doing, is the challenge.

Yeah, I am expecting too much.

I have started posting my menu for the week, but here's what I have:

Monday - Don't remember
Tuesday - Spinach and Red Onion Quiche from Jillian Michael's cookbook.
Wednesday - Zucchini and Tomato Linguine with a Lemon-yogurt sauce again from Jillian!
Thursday - Chicken
Friday - Spaghetti and White Clam Sauce

That's all I have planned so far.

Until next time; take care.

Sadness

Sadness has crept up on me,  I felt it coming,  Lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike.  Too many things to deal with - too much to think about.  Too much time alone to think.

Bipolar - you are not my friend.  I fight you everyday, every hour, every minute.  You won this round - but I will win next time.

I am tired now...

I need time to sleep.

It's Official

I knew this day would come, my youngest and only son has bought his first car. He got his license a month ago and now the car. Mind you, he is 23 years old, but still...
