I can mark something off of my "commitment list", taking the week off of work just to get stuff done around the house - check! Although, I should have taken two weeks off because I was a little too ambitious to say the least, but not horrible for my first ever staycation. Here is what I accomplished while off for a week: *Cleaned my closet (pictures to be shared later) *Cleaned my dresser drawers *Cleaned out 40% of our storage unit (on my way to marking off another commitment) *Cleaned out 50% of our basement (another thing on the commitment list) *Called and set up donation pick up and dontated 10 bags/boxes of clothing and shoes to charity. *Planned and executed my very first garage sale with some neighbors and made a few bucks to go towards home repairs. *Got a sunburn from the garage sale. *Gave all of the remaining unsold items from garage sale to the high school girls tennis team for their garage sale next weekend. *Got my hair cut and hi-lighted, eyebrows waxed, a manicure, and got in a tanning appointment. *Set up an appointment for someone to come give an estimate to fix our garage (more of that story to come). *Hired Garage Man named Max and had our new garage installed. *Set up an appointment for the first service on Brian's new car. *Took Mason to an appointment. *Picked up a friend from the airport. *Baked a cake for a friend's Birthday. *Cleaned under the bathroom sinks in two of our bathrooms. *babysat my nieces and nephew for a few hours Hmmm, I think that's it. I will add as I remember more items. Not bad for a week's worth of work if I do say so myself. Looking around my house now, though, I have to say what the hell did I do all week, I mean it's a mess in the house right now. But I am a little closer to achieving some of the things of my list of commitments to myself. I guess it will get worse before it gets better, huh? I am proud of myself, I put a lot of hard work in and hopefully the more I do, the more I will accomplish and the better I will feel.
