Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow!

I feel like I'm constantly having to make a new to do list for myself. I don't seem to make any headway on my chores. They are like bunnies and they keep reproducing. I've decided that I need about 2 weeks to catch up with my life. Why 2 weeks? Because I need a goof off day for every day that I make any headway into the world of getting it together. You really do need to embrace chores based on your mood. Some days I'm much more with it and find organizing things a breeze. Other days I'm the biggest space cadet out there. Take this weekend for example. I had almost 48 hours that were all mine. No guys around. No one asking what's for lunch, supper, or breakfast. I had every intention on really cleaning the house. I managed to talk myself out of it. As I got to thinking about it I realized that wasn't the best use of my time. The minute my guys got home I'd get a stack of laundry and Scout stuff laying all over. So what did I do? Not much of anything. It was glorious! So... Well the downstairs is clean but there are still pockets that need some organizing attention. Eventually I will conquer the bedrooms. They aren't going anywhere. Now on top of those chores that I've got on my to do list we have the daily maintenance that comes with a family. Grocery store runs, vet visits, meal preparation, volunteer duties, Bible study; just to name a few. Sigh! Why do I think that I will ever catch up?! I just keep plodding along. One day at a time right?
