Lately I have been suffering from a LACK of motivation. I’m in a state of blah where nothing seems important enough to move myself off the couch to get it done. There are tons of projects around my house that need done, tons of cleaning and organizing that needs to get done and all I can seem to manage is to (barely) keep up with the day to day grind of feeding, and taxi driving that is my life as a Mom right now. I’m starting to miss the productive me. The one that was excited to tackle a job for the feeling of accomplishment. I need some motivation!
So, last night I may have found the motivation I need. My parents decided to come visit us. The first thing that happened after I did a little cheer that they were coming was that I started making a list of all the things around the house that I’ve been procrastinating and resolved myself to get them done. (Why will I do this for others but not for myself?) Some of them will be offered to my older children as money earning opportunities, but most of them I will have to figure out how to do while keeping a very mischievous 4 year old occupied…wish me luck! If this really works the next thing I’m going to need to find a way to locate my mojo when it comes to creating and making things beautiful. Anyone want to help me out with that one?

The creative mojo comes from Pinterest! That has motivated me WAY more than anything else has when it comes to creating beautiful things. (o:
I am always motivated by company. How can we motivate ourselves when we are part of the group that made the mess? But, you can't subject others to your own nastiness (this is what I tell myself every time I am scrubbing like a demon before people come over)!
I'm so jealous, I want to see you guys too! Wish we could get the family together for the holidays one of these days :(
