A little bit each day...

So, we're in! We are now officially residents of Greenfield.
Drew, Matthew and I love our new home... and even though there are still boxes on the floor, furniture in the garage (waiting for the damn carpet to STILL dry) and dirt on the floor, it already feels like home. However, we seem to be exhausting ourselves with all the things that need to be done, aside from both of us working and caring for Matthew. It's hard enough to get any cleaning or organizing done when Matthew is here... it's like I clean up, and then there's another mess to be cleaned (like with kids, right?)I would love nothing more than a day to myself to do nothing but clean and organize. But since I'm scheduled to work at the store for 40 hours in the next 5 days, that won't be happening any time soon. So I might need to learn how to not be so anal about a perfectly clean and perfectly organized house. I became that way when my life wasn't so neat and organized... I think it was my way of coping with the unorganized chaos I was dealing with... but now that my life isn't so unorganized, and things have really fallen into place exactly how they were meant to be, it's time for me to let go of some of that.
So, I'm vowing to become a wife/mom with lists... to-do lists... Today's to-do list: vaccum the carpets and wash the floors, balance the checkbook... Tomorrow: clean the bathroom and dust the furniture. My mom always told me to do a little bit each day, then you won't seem so overwhelmed.. she's right... again!
Ok, now off to do that vacuuming....
