Tackle it Tuesday – The Lazy Bug

Today is Tuesday. The day I generally pick a project to tackle. But I’m not much in a tackling mood. It’s icy and cold here and it has been for several days now. It’s 67 degrees in my house, which is just a few degrees shy of where I’d like it to be. What I’d really like to do is crawl under a blanket in front of the space heater and watch tv all day.

But we all know what happens if you do that while all three kids are home. You might take it easy, but they keep making messes. It’s amazing how much damage three small children can do to one home in one day without intervention. And did I mention this is day FOUR of the icy cold I-don’t-wanna-do-much weather? Right. Being completely lazy isn’t an option. I have to at least do something.

Aside from making a trip to the grocery store (which I absolutely have to do today), I must tackle some housework today. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.

So, therefore, I hereby make my Tackle-It-Tuesday project to 1.) Get up off my rear end Tackle the “Lazy Bug” and 2.)Clean the kitchen from top to bottom and left to right cuz I have to because that will make me feel so much better about my house.

I know it is often custom to take before and after pictures, but I’m afraid I’m gonna have to disappoint. Nobody wants to see before pictures of a pile of dirty dishes. And besides, I’d really be in the doghouse with hubby if I did. You understand.

I know that a large portion of the country is dealing with cold icy weather right now, and that we’re not alone in this. Here’s to tackling the lazy bug within us that seems to come out on days like today!
