Restlessness

I don't know why I do this!  Yesterday as I was doing my thing around the house I came up with a decent idea for a blog post. Of course, I thought, there is NO way I will forget this brilliance--no need to write it down.  Yeah, I should have written it down.

Today the plan is to purge the play room.  I am always so amazed at the number of toys my girls have versus the number they actually play with on a regular basis.  About twice a year I like to sweep through there with a discerning eye and toss the stuff that's broken, missing pieces, or otherwise destroyed.  We also make a pile to donate.  The last time we went through and did a clean sweep, we came out of there with three large black garbage bags full of junk!

I am feeling a bit restless over the last two days wrestling between the time it takes to do the stuff I want to do, versus the stuff I need to do.  I wonder, do I leave the everyday chores slide so that I can work on these bigger time-eating projects?  Yesterday the everyday chores won out--with little to eat in the house, no more wipes on hand,  and diapers dwindling, I had to make a grocery run when what I really wanted to do was organize our "game" closet.

What I need to do is get back on track with the Flylady. Have any of you ever heard of her? Tried her methods? I know Janene and I both have had some success with her, but I can't remember if we've ever mentioned it on the blog.  It all starts with a shiny sink...check it out if you are feeling overwhelmed by those every day tasks that, if ignored, turn a mole hill into a mountain. That's what I'm off to do right now!

Anyone else struggling with restlessness lately?
