housekeeping
I hate Mondays. Monday is the day that I do quite abit of housework & washing and just lately I have been playing around on the computer for a little too long in the mornings and then have to rush about dementedly getting the housework done. yes ladies - you heard it * I am admitting to being on the computer for way too long during the day. Today, I turned it off once I had checked my emails and then I decided to ask my angels to motivate me & help me get the housekeeping done - Not expecting Samanta Stephens or Jeannie to do my housework - but just a kind little shove to get it done... and it really worked. I actually breezed through my housekeeping today ! I stripped the bed and sprayed it with lavender water and then let it air for an hour or two while I cleaned the bathrooms and dusted the bedroom. I love making a room special by adding little treasures to make me smile - today it was a lovely bunch of gardenias in Nan's bowl along with a newly made bed - crisp*white bed sheets that had been hanging in the sunshine to dry

Monday is my day for blessing my home too! I enjoyed it today, as I have rearranged my schedule a little bit to allow me more time to do other things - I whizzed through in a couple of hours and it sparkled! Until the kids came home :(
Sounds so lovely!Do you fancy coming and giving one of my bedrooms the Ms Robyn touch?I am so demotivated this week.Tiredness I think!
Ahhh, Robyn ~ it sounds wonderful...I can even smell those fresh sheets!
I have come to love Mondays, as the house becomes all clean and organised again ~ and I love that feeling...nothing like getting stuck into it to help blow my minds cobwebs away.
I get the same way....compute and compute then rush about feeling guilty as hell that I should have been doing something in the house...I then 'pretend' that I did lots of stuff in the hose....yes the computer is a wonderful trap! How about giving it up for lent ms robyn? (lol....just joking in case you just broke out in a sweat!!)
sorry - that should read....in the 'house' not hose....typo!!
hopefully my angels will give me a push this morning to get started on my cleaning. Am giving the kitchen a spring cleaning so if you don't hear from me I got lost in all the clutter.
Mondays are hard days for me to get motivated...but they are the days that I too...bless my home! Sounds like you have a wonderful jump on your day....Lets all get together and bless each others' homes...wouldn't that be a kick!!!
Enjoy you day MsRobyn...xo
hmm Lavender spray on a bed, I must try that. Thanks!
I can relate to everything you wrote. I'm shutting this thing off NOW and getting to work. If I don't, I'll end up doing housework until midnight, and never get around to sewing!!! At least I've had the beds airing for a while already, and the sheets are ironed and scented... just have to get them on the bed and one thing is completed!
Housekeeping is something that I have to be in the right frame of mind for, but whatever state I'm in, I usually find it very cathartic. It often helps to tackle one area at a time, so you can step back and think "I love it", I also like mopping and scrubbing floors by hand (in a sane way, of course!) hehe
Enjoy your sunshine-smelling sheets!
Oh those gardenias sound wonderful. Yes, those computers are a time thief, aren't they. Sometimes now I'm posting every other day because of that. It works....smile. Lovely post, Robyn!
