Day 1 - went well but could have done better

Yesterday was my first full day as a housewife.
Well OK - I have sat on my arse feeling sorry for myself for the past two weeks and wondering what was going to happen and stressing about various different aspects of life. But in order to make things better for myself and stop wallowing in self pity I need to get some sort of a routine and motivate myself. So Monday 14th December I decided would be the day I had to report for duty in my new career.

After walking the dog I decided to have a shower to start the day. Once out of the shower I got to work with the towels still wrapped round me. I cleaned every inch of our bathroom!!! I scrubbed and polished, dusted and cleaned everything in there including sorting out both the bathroom cabinets and throwing away those shampoo bottles with a tiny bit left in!! I then finished off with mopping the floor. I stood at the doorway admiring my work. Even if I do say so myself the room was sparkling! I can't remember the last time I had job satisfaction as I did after the bathroom. WHen my husband came home he told me he was impressed that the bathroom was spotless!! Praise from the boss and job satisfaction!

The rest of the day was spent sorting washing out, cleaning the kitchen and dining room - then I sat at the newly cleared table and wrote all our Christmas cards, and embarrassingly I also wrote all the Thankyou cards that we still have not sent out since our wedding in May this year. Yes, I am very ashamed - but now they are all written and awaiting my husband to put his pawprint on them all then they can all be stamped and put in the postbox!!

Tea was ready by the time my husband arrived home from work and then I spent the evening relaxing and watching the soaps = well that's what everyone else does after a day at work isn't it????
