i tend to get busy with things—get a bit obsessed with them, for want of a better word—& then let other things slide.
the things that would be keeping me busy would be bruce, working at the markets & various other events for nana may's, & keeping smiley busy with fun & educational things.
the things that i've been letting slide are housework & eating properly. smiley's tastes are the fairly typically limited tastes of an almost five year old, so feeding him well has been as easy as sticking with the ten or so relatively healthy things he likes to eat reguarly. for me, though, i've been eating way too much garbage again & i've put on a couple of the kilos i lost at the beginning of this year. i'm not 'porking it on', so to speak, but my tummy is starting to bulge out a little bit again. not good.
i've found the eating guide from the betty baxter diet i was on & tomorrow is the day i start eating well again. i won't be having the meal replacement drinks this time, i'm just going to use the meal guide to choose healthy meals that are spaced out during the day.
as for housework, i've been trying to get on top of some of that over the past few weeks. today's effort has resulted in the third or fourth load of washing on now. it's mainly bedding & sheets, etc, from my bed & smiley's bed, which were put into a corner in the laundry instead of being washed straight away when i changed the sheets the last few times. smiley has rarely been the one sleeping in his bed. usually it's been guests who've come to stay, such as hellie or angie.
i even did some work on my computer today which desperately needed to be done. the issue of not being able to hotsync my palm still isn't sorted, as isn't the problem of recovering all the software install files i lost when i stupidly (but accidentally) deleted my palm folder (actually deleted, not sent to the recycle bin) months ago. at least the process is happening, even if it's not all solved yet.
i've got some extra work nana may's coming up with jo over the next few weeks, so i'll be taking smiley all over town to various places to have him babysat while i work. that'll keep me busy, for sure, so if i can get some of this messiness in the house sorted out, then i'll be happier to be rushing around in less mess.
I'm trying desperately to get on top of our mess too. We're clean but not tidy here. I'm such a "dumper" of stuff, instead of putting it away, and then suddenly there's masses of crap everywhere.
Going back to work, even part-time, does not help.
You haven't washed the sheets since I was there? ;-P Hellie's been there since hasn't she?

I feel your pain Coralie. I never seem to be able to get on top of my washing
I also feel I am eating too much junk. It's exhausting enough making sure the kids are eating well, so I always grab whatever is quick and easy.
It's hard!
