Yesterday was day 1 of my project to become by best self.  I wrote out a list that was my action plan for the day.  I decided to focus on the kitchen since the kitchen is the heart of the home.  It is also one of the rooms I spend a lot of time in so selfishly I wanted to get it completed.  I was a little worried as my day started as my 7 month old was teething and had a shot the day before so I knew he might be fussy,  but I know if I don’t just start it’s easy to put it off. As I made my list I added some personal things to work on as well. 

I was off to a late start but was still optimistic .  I reminded myself that this was a project that I couldn’t get wrong unless I did nothing at all. I was dressed and had only had my one cup of coffee. I  started working in my kitchen.  I emptied the dishwasher and put the dishes in.  Chatted with the kids as I put things away.  I put a chicken in the crockpot. Things were going pretty well . 

As the day continued my to do list proved to be more of a guideline for my day.  My teething baby needed lots of love,  and that was ok. I did what I could put giving him love was more important than any to do list.

The funny thing about my day is I ended up doing a little work in every room of my house rather than focusing on the kitchen .  Still ok. Progress is progress. 

Today is day 2. I still don’t have my list ready.  I’m sure I’ll have it done soon. Besides as yesterday proved it’s more of a guideline anyway.
