CELEBRATING THE PROGRESS OF THE LAUNDRY HABIT

I worked really hard to get the laundry space I have to get it organized and it was wonderful.  

AWWW.  It was Nice....

Then two days later a couple of my girls decided to change some things about the area, knocking over dressers and adding other furniture to the space.  

All I could think was, as my Grandma would say, 

"GADS"

I was defeated.  

Let's not focus on the martyred feelings I had to fight.

:(

That was a month ago.  

I hope by the end of the week to have things put back together yet again but ultimately that is not the problem.  

I'm working on getting the 10 year old's and older to do their own laundry but I need to change myself first.

In order to stay on top of my laundry at my house I need to do 2 loads of laundry a day.

I'm pretty good about getting those two loads in the washing machine and one into the dryer but that's where my habit stops. 

Truth be told, I should celebrate that small step because I need all the successes I can get.  

So here goes....

"Yeah...I start 2 loads of laundry every day!"

:P 

In order to be a better example for my children I will 

1. Celebrate working on laundry 

       2. Finish 2 loads of laundry a day.

In Honor of improving my "finish my load of laundry" habit I thought I'd share this song.

This is my focus for the month of November.  I hope to report back at the end of it and say it is a habit now. 

Enjoy
