speaks volumes. It was a bad day that ended in a nice meltdown that scared everyone. It’s a case of too little help getting things done for long enough that nothing is a simple job anymore. The house has reached a point where I can’t get ahead of the mess, I’m not even going to start on the whole diet thing this week, I’m just going to pretend that part didn’t happen and deal with the mess.
Clutter I can deal with, this I can’t.
I’ve spent the whole morning going through the cabinets and pantry throwing away over half of the things on the shelves. I’m really bad for letting things expire, and with being on a diet with pre packaged foods, I don’t look in my cabinets most days. Over the weekend I got a urge to cook though, and I realized that I really miss doing it. So as of today I’m back to cooking meals and I’m going to put the whole planned thing on a back burner.
I also did a run to the Container Store, which is a bad bad place where I should not be allowed to be unsupervised. My pantry is full of pretty clear square containers with labels now. It almost looks like someone has a clue about what they’re doing in that room of the house.
I need to get myself more organized and start doing some things I’ve been putting off. A lot of this is going to be going on over in the “oh hell I’m gonna diet” blog, but honestly it’s not about dieting, it’s about getting my life organized and taking care of myself and my family.
We are very much a typical family in that we all grab food as we want it and aren’t really eating what we should. I’m sitting down today and working out menus and, for myself, activity plans to get us all in gear. One thing I’ve learned is that I tend to put other people before myself, it goes with being a mom I guess. So I’m going to twist that around and make eating better and doing more away from the computer a family thing. I’m helping them and myself at the same time. It gets around my mental issues and accomplishes the goals. I’m going to be working out a structured plan for all this, and it’s going up at the other site. I just have to remember to post every day.
