I am a cowgirl from Nebraska, married to a wonderful Sandhills cowboy. I am a vet tech at a large animal vet clinic and he is an electrician for an industrial electrical company. Our family is made up of us and our dog, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Wyatt, and any number of horses that come in and out of our lives. I might post a recipe or a random picture of Wyatt or the horses, so keep looking!

Go away Procrastination, come on in Motivation!

Posted Saturday, August 16, 2008 6:42 PM

Erg. I worked this morning and I have the in laws coming for the afternoon tomorrow. So I did my usual weekly cleaning and so today I was planning on doing the little extra things. Not that I am worried about impressing MIL, we are on the same page about a clean house.

My To Do List:

- Pin the slipcover on the loveseat (the sofa has been done for two weeks now)

- Wipe down the walls behind the stove and sink

- Vacuum the whole house (it isn't a real big house, so it shouldn't be that bad)

- Put all of our clothes away

- Make supper (I have slacked off all week, I need to get my crap together)

- Shower for the Ranch Rodeo tonight (which we are going to as soon as DH gets home from work and showers)

- I was supposed to ride my horse today, but I guess that isn't happening.

- Clean up my crafts mess in the basement

Any normal day? No problem. Today? I am having a hell of a time finding the motivation to just do it! What's your secret on finding the motivation to get up and do some chores? Ugh!

I have gotten a lot done today, but I'm so far away from being DONE. Erg.

I hope everyone else is having a very productive day! :S

re: Go away Procrastination, come on in Motivation!

I'm waiting for my 2nd wind.  I don't have any advice on motivation - my strategy involves procrastinating and then having no choice but to get my butt moving.  lol  I keep taking breaks in between cleaning.  Unfortunately, we have a big old farmhouse...so, there are just too many rooms.  A rodeo sounds fun!  Have a great night and good visit tomorrow.  :)

(Thanks for a comment, it made me feel better knowing someone else is going through the same thing.)

As for not being motivated - I have been the same way all day today!

I got up at like 7am on my day off planning on doing a million tasks around

the apartment I have been putting off all week because of work.

- Tackle a sink full of dishes (no dishwasher in this house)

- Vacuum around the catboxes

- Shake out the mats in the bathroom

- Scrub out the tub

- Do a couple loads of laundry

Nothing for a budding house wife, right?

Would only take a couple hours, right?

Yeah - I sat on my butt all day.  Did 1/2 the dishes, Vacuumed the bedroom, and sorted my laundry.

I ended up watching TV most of the day.  

Goodbye motivation.

I think we all had an off day, love.  No worries.  ;)

Eek. I feel better. And we don't have a dishwasher (besides my husband) so that is a chore too. Thanks ladies!
