motivated mom

i have been really disgruntled with the house lately. seems like no matter how much i do (whether it is something or nothing) around here, the place looks like a cluttered mess. i get frustrated so i ignore it. the more i ignore it, the worse it gets. then i am depressed. i find myself consoling my emotions with food. i'm gaining weight. ack. enough is enough. especially since i'm known for getting mad at people for complaining about things that they refuse to try to fix. so enough complaining from me!

i found this chore list from motivated moms. i LOVE it. maybe it's because i like lists. maybe it's because i like checking things off of lists. ha ha!!! anyway, it's the first day i've done it and i'm surprised at how accomplished i feel. this is a picture of what i had accomplished by noon. the best part..........when james got home, he was impressed. there were a few things left on the list to do. instead of me having to ask or nag him to help, he saw what wasn't checked off and he started helping out. yay!!! i am definitely one motivated mama!!!
