A little while after my last post I got off my arse, set a timer for 10 minutes and did as much housework as I could within that time. After the 10 minutes was up I read 10 pages of one of my current books, then I did 10 minutes of housework again. I kept doing this (although the 10 minutes off I spent on varying things, play with kids, read, etc) until my house was looking ok. Rob was quite impressed with the neat & clean kitchen too!

It was so much easier doing housework like this… not certain if it would work with the bigger jobs – have to test it out!

I’m having real trouble getting into the flow of housework. I know once I get going I’m fine, but it is frustrating having my hand stopping me from doing a lot of the work. There is things I can do, but I’ve got the unfortunate habit of getting into the all or nothing mindset when it comes to housework. I’ll be visiting the nurse tomorrow to get my bandages looked at so hopefully she’ll say that I can go back to full use of my hand again.

I think that waking up late causes problems too. I think I needed this mornings sleep in (till 9.30am – lucky the kids slept in for me), but I’ve caught up on my sleep now so I’m going to make sure I get up earlier tomorrow!

Woke up late today. The kids decided to sleep in, so I didn’t wake till about 9am – ended getting up around 9.30am. I think I’m all caught up with my sleep now, so as long as I go to bed early enough tonight – I should wake up early tomorrow!
