We have got to the end of one of those 'holidays' and I am feeling miserable. I have a list to do for work the length of an A4 page today. There are also so many other things that I haven't done. So to try and lift my mood I am going to try and count what I have done (in the nature of counting your blessings):
- had the in-laws to stay
- meal out with my husband
- meal out with a friend
- shopping with a friend and my goddaughter-to-be
- coffee with friends (4 times!! -different friends each time)
- took a friend's daughter out for the day
- read 2 books
- chose flooring for new kitchen
- moved furniture to prepare for kitchen
- washing and ironing (all caught up :) )
- detailed dusting in the lounge
- went into work and caught up on some filing
- decluttered a bit (still more to do but there always is!)
- WHB at the beginning of the week and again at the end
- Marked some work
edit: I realise that some people might think I'm moaning about my holidays. I'm not. it's just that I'm beating myself up over wasting them. I often leave a lot of jobs to the holidays, as I am working 50-60 hours every week, and then get annoyed when I don't manage to do them!
You do what you can do, so don't beat yourself up. And it looks like you were very busy! I think it's a good idea to keep track of what we do accomplish every week, because it's easy to forget that we have managed to check off many things from our list.
