A friend of mine recently watched my two big kids for the
morning on a day my husband also went into the office. I had the whole house
to myself (and the baby) and it was glorious! I had a bunch of things I
wanted to do but realistically narrowed it down to just a few. Cleaning
out my closet ended up being the main task, especially since Brent
works out of our bedroom and I don't have much organizing time access.
I
purged quite a few things and allowed myself one under the bed storage
bag (clothes that aren't nursing friendly and a few special pieces I
wanted to hold on to for now). Plus most maternity clothes got cleared
out and put in a separate bin. If things didn't fit in the bag or bin, I
forced myself to get rid of more.
Now my closet is streamlined,
easy to get to, and everything I can wear (which is a huge blessing
during the self conscious postpartum period). Plus it looks pretty. And
when everything has a place I'm less likely to start stuffing things in
here!
Then I watched The Resident, ate lunch in peace, worked on
Powersheets, enjoyed two cups of tea while it was still hot, and cuddled
my little guy! It was a good morning.
