Someone emailed me after my “March Goals” post and said that they find it better to focus on habits rather than routines, and I’m finding that idea helpful. All the cleaning I do only keeps my house from descending into utter chaos – as LiEr said, it’s all very temporary :)

At first I thought, “she does a lot of cleaning up! Her house must look great!” and then I realized I probably do a lot more cleaning up than I think, too – but it’s rarely major spring-cleaning. And then I was thankful that because you were organized enough to record those here, all my own little cleanups suddenly counted! They all add up towards a (slightly) saner-looking house, even if very temporary, don’t they? Thanks for the reminder and reassurance that it’s the little things that count. Glad Mike wasn’t away for too many days – you’re an awesome mom but I know it is just so much easier with another pair of grown-up hands to help out around there!P.S. Started this comment last night but only got round to finishing it up now – it’s 7:10 am! You’ve got a new post already so am off to read that now. Have a great weekend!

But funny — even the act of keeping track helps me have a more structured day.Was about to say I’d start again tomorrow (keeping track for a few days) but it’s a totally non-normal day — no school, big family event… So maybe I’ll start on Monday… : )
