tgif-make it great

started the day of wholesome and pure with a delicious breakfast!  i bought some delicious, multi-grain bread at the bakery last night and sliced it and toasted it for the kids and i. spread with hazelnut spread, real peanut butter and jam.  yum.  i have been a funk this week where i have been less capable of completing tasks like dishes and laundry and been addicted to reading and writing.  it's so weird to me the cycles that my brain goes through because suddenly today my eyes are more aware of trash and clutter than they have been all week.  i have been walking around picking up ever since i woke up.  why is it that all week all the piles of toys, books and dishes didn't even bother me but today i am very intolerant of it all?

my desk has looked this way all week....but today....it's driving me nuts!

this is why i don't make my bed, dust and scrub the floors every day.  when the mood strikes me i will do enough cleaning for the whole neighborhood and them some and it will feel effortless.  when i am not in the mood to organize and de-clutter, but i force myself to do it it is nearly painful to accomplish anything!

it's friday so to help us have a wonderful weekend i am de-cluttering, doing laundry and putting meat in the crock pot this afternoon for dinner.  fridays lately have been my day to do less sit-down lessons with kids and do more house work and errands.  though we will fall behind on lessons today, monday is our day where we do double duty with lessons, usually getting 9-10 hours of school in.  it all works out.

i am hoping to go to a couple of second hand shops i have seen in town and just see what they have.  i am not looking for anything in particular yet so i probably won't be buying anything.  i like to look a lot before i make a purchase and sometimes i hate going into small shops when you aren't looking to buy anything.  oh well, if they want my business in the future, they will just have to be patient and let me browse their selection;)

i want to learn how to make easy bread this weekend.  it can't be that hard.  i would like to be able to teach the kids how to make it and then each week this can be one of their jobs.  i also need to make laundry soap this weekend.  and on the topic of making things i was planning to make home-made play dough for some of the kids on my christmas list so i think we will experiment with the different recipes i have for that.

hope everyone has a great weekend.  remember, you are in charge of the kinds of days you have.  make  it a great weekend!!!!
