Days 8 and 9 done

Two more days under my belt and I'm really getting the hang of this. Is it odd that I'm sad to see this coming to an end? I took this on thinking it would be fun but I've learned so much. When you break it down, it's all about putting family and home first, which should happen anyway. Granted, the 50s was riddled with poor thinking about women but there's so much we could glean from that era. Women focused on families ahead of careers (I am not judging working moms because I was one for years and will be again). Children respected their parents and other authority figures and they were disciplined when they did wrong. One thing I've learned so far is that I cannot just do laundry one day a week. It's much more efficient in this day and age to do a load or two a day amidst other chores. Another thing I've come to realize is that I love my dishwasher! This hand washing two or three times a day is for the birds! Monday was errand day and I did my daily chore list, fixed a nice supper, and a chocolate pie. Tuesday was deep clean the bedrooms and bathrooms and man was it easier since I did it last week. There's something to this following a housecleaning schedule and I think I'll keep it up after this week. I hear it takes two weeks to form a habit so I should be in a good groove by the end of day 14. Today is deep clean the kitchen, dining, and living rooms and again having done it last week should make it go easier and faster. Oh and today is my birthday. I'm 29 for the fifth time! Tehehe. My sweet mom gave me a gift card to Cato that I think I'll go use today and you know what? I'm going to buy dresses. They are flowy, comfortable, and easy to maneuver in. Time to clean, work on homework, and go shopping! Tootles!
