As I jump back into the blogging world I realize that I need
to have some sort of schedule or routine. With a schedule this blog would have
content delivered on a consistent schedule. A schedule you my reader(s)
could depend on for your Krissi fix.
I just made that up.
It isn’t that great.
I need a better line.
This line of thought, (schedule, routine, consistency) lead
me to my latest “project,” developing routines. I would like to say that it is
the whole working mom gig that has caused my house to fall into a state of
disrepair. Laundry, dishes, dirty toilets are all the result of me working a
fulltime (plus) job. However, that would be a big fat lie!
My type A personality has never really kicked into gear when
it comes to cleaning, cooking, laundry, or home making stuff. I’ve tried! When
the kids were little we did job charts, allowance, daily cleaning routines, and
none of them worked.
Well, they worked for a little bit of time, but eventually
life would run me over and the first thing off the plate was a clean house.
I’m kind of in awe with people who have clean homes. It’s
almost like they like cleaning. How is that even possible?
I do not like cleaning but I do like a clean house. I do
think a clean house helps you to have a clear head and helps you to manage life
a little better. It is also nice when you don’t have to spend 10 minutes of an
already frantic morning trying to match two socks.
BUT! It is so hard!! (Yes, there is a lot of whining packed
into that little sentence. Perhaps even a little foot stomp).
So…. part of my post-master’s life has been establishing
cleaning routines and a laundry routine and a cooking routine and an exercise routine and a self care routine.
I do not live a glamorous life.
What does any of this have to do with finding yourself? As
much as I hate to admit it a clean house, clean laundry, cooked meals, exercise, and washing your face are
part of the deal. I mean think about it, if you can’t find a pair of clean
underwear how and the world do you expect to find you.
P.S. I know this is not the post I promised. That post is coming Saturday. This post will be part of my mid-week survival post. Which will focus on surviving frantic, crazy, exhausting workweeks. Look at me being all scheduled.
