Focus Friday #2

Thrifty & Chic Mom says: As we enter a new year everyone has a list as long as their arm of things they want to accomplish. My list could go on forever and now I have a way to hold myself accountable by choosing one thing to focus on each week. It can be big or small; it doesn't matter just as long as I specify what it is and get it done.

So each week I will post my focus for the upcoming week as well as give a recap of how my week went with the previous focus. Now play along with Thrifty & Chic Mom and everyone else who is trying to put a little focus back into their lives.

Last Weeks Focus: putting my house back in order. Now my goal is not to scrub every room but to just put away the stuff from Christmas that is still out, the bags of presents that haven’t found a home yet and just the general mess that has been collected around the house. The big question, “did I succeed”???? That would be a big fat no… The weekend is when I get things done and both Thomas and I ended up with strep throat. Needless to say I felt awful and did very little. I moved a lot of it to Luke’s room and cleared out the empty boxes but didn’t really find a specific home for everything.

This weeks Focust: My kitchen and dinning room tables have become the catch all again and I need to clean them off. I can’t stand the clutter on my tables and yet everyone in my house feels the need to drop everything or leave everything on my tables. Currently my dinning room table is covered with mail, some toys and some paint project that Luke started but never finished. By next week (God willing everyone stays healthy) those two tables are going to be cleaned off and kept that way. I don’t get why the tables have to be the spot for dropping everything off. Again, my motto… it isn’t going to get cleaned unless I do it. (insert large sigh here).
