Spring Cleaning

Posted on by Dri

Since we’ve had the windows open for the past 2 or 3 days, I’ve begun to get some spring fever! Today, I decided to spend my afternoon finishing what I started weeks ago: cleaning out my closet. After having a baby, there are maternity clothes to go through, put away, give back to their rightful owners… and a few to keep out, at least for a little while. Unfortunately, you can’t just go back to wearing all your old clothes right away, for some, not ever, so I had to go through everything else, trying it all on and figuring out. I came up with a few other categories: clothes that fit, clothes I’d like to fit again, clothes that there is no hope for, and clothes that just don’t quite fit the same anymore…

I always get excited in spring. It’s so full of potential. The expectation of things to come: flowers, leaves on trees… warmer weather! (For one who hates being cold, this is ALWAYS an exciting thing!) In my hopeful state, I always seem to get a little over zealous with what I think I can accomplish…

Two Things

Or maybe three. That’s how many I got done today. And I have decided I am going to be ok with that. I recently read an article that said that people can really only remember 3-4 things in their short term memory for about 20 seconds. Trying to do more will make you forget them all. So, I have decided that rather than trying to get my whole to do list done (which simply cannot happen with a 1 month old), I am going to focus on 3 (maybe 4) things to accomplish every day. If I do, I can confidently say it was a good day.

Today, those things were calling insurance about coverage on preventing any more children (for the time being), making an appointment to use my massage gift card that my awesome husband got me for valentines day, and reconciling my receipts with Mint.com…
