Day 4 - Post-Its

Yip, Day 4 requires PostIts... of course I don't have any at home, but thats something that can easily be fixed by the time that I get home today  :)

I am meant to be putting them in the kitchen & bathroom, so now the cleaning has expanded to the bathroom....  I've told my fiance about this, and he is more than happy and is even offering to do whats written on the Post Its.....  So I'm hoping that this goes well.....  and that the kids don't pull them down and ditch them....  I mean really, from a kids point of view, what the **** are Post Its meant to be in the bathroom for???

Well last night I got the dishes all sorted, shined my sink up again and felt quite proud of my achievement...  sure its only been 3 days...  but thats 3 days longer than its ever stayed like that before.....  until this morning when I got up and someone had left water stains in it....  then I realised that before I'd never really cared about it and laughed at myself for something so 'stupid' and then promptly shined it up again and then left the kitchen feeling proud of my achievement.

So today I was meant to do make up again.....  as far as I got with that task was making sure that my face was still clean and put on lip gloss......  I did however tie my hair back differently today.....  the small things.  I really think that I am going to struggle with the make up thing the most....  but I swear I will get used to it at some point.  one day.....  far far far away from this one......

This make sound fairly stupid, but just by starting on this journey and doing these small little things each day, I'm finding that I'm also then taking just a few minutes out to do other stuff...  like fold the laundry straight away.....  vaccum pack up the last of the packet of pasta and the chocolate chips that have been sitting on the kitchen bench/counter for over a week, as part of my 'when I get a round to it' pile........

Now i mustn't get a head of myself....  this is only Day 4, and its only just started......  Also I know that I'm going to have restrain myself from leaving Post It notes like 'for gods sake rinse the sink', 'Shut the door, you weren't born in a tent', 'what part of No Dishes in the Sink wasn't understood'......  but thankfully the majority of the kids at home cant really read yet.......  but I am going to refrain myself to things such as 'wipe the sink', 'replace the toilet roll' (this one purely because it seems that the toilet roll holder is going to eat everyone else in the house alive if they touch an empty roll........).

I can do this, and I am going to do this...  CHOAS will eventually be a thing of the past, just like my santity.....  :)
