So I like to think the first weekend of the project was pretty successful. The past few Saturday’s I’ve been pretty lazy. I’ve basically just sat and watched TV and movies all day. This weekend was completely different. Friday night I went to bed at a decent time which meant that I was awake at 7am when my husband was getting ready for school.
So what did I accomplish? First, I dusted and vacuumed the entire upstairs. I had enough energy that I could probably have tackled the main floor too but I didn’t want to over do it so I only dusted. Then, I decided that I should probably pick one of the projects on my list.
It was super tempting to do a couple of the small projects that would only take me a few minutes but I resisted the urge. Instead, I ended up touching up the paint in my kitchen. My parents came from Michigan to visit one weekend in November and we painted my kitchen. It went from a sallow yellow to a calming sage green. (My complexion looks so much better with green and a girls gotta look good in her kitchen!) Needless to say, there were a few spots where the yellow paint still showed through. Being the perfectionist that I am, I needed those spots to go away. I took a little touch up brush and in an hour or so had all the yellow painted over.
I will admit that on Sunday (day 4) and Monday (day 5) I slacked a little. I ended up only ironing and gathering up some of my tax documents. I still have to do a bit of searching for some business receipts (which I’m avoiding because my receipts/paperwork is piled in a 15 gal tub which is full).
All in all, it was a pretty successful weekend. I’m pretty happy about the fact that I’m actually getting stuff done around the house. Here’s to hoping I can keep it up!
