Catching up.

I have been organizing, purging, cleaning, and rearranging, but didn't have the time to devote to the blog. Instead I spent some time reading a book for my own pleasure, reading with my daughter at bed time, and getting into the routine of play practice twice a week.

What I notice is that I have better mornings now since the planning has already happened. We're usually ready a good eight minutes before the bus arrives instead of throwing on the shoes while the bus waits, and my daughter getting on the bus in tears. The good feeling of the change keeps us going at it...at least for now.

I've also noticed that it's catching. My husband has always been the cook and pitches in to do the dishes quite often, but now it at least seems that he doesn't wait until it piles up to Mt. Everest proportions. Seeing me clean the kitchen before I go to bed motivates him to do the same and vice versa. Oh how I want to keep this up!

Here's hoping.
