I’m learning to be content with mess. I have absolutely no choice in the matter! The carpet is a field of clutter, and my plan is basically to keep it clean, and give up on keeping it clear.
My husband and I keep talking about encouraging the children to tidy up after themselves, but the reality is that we’re not that good at doing it ourselves, and you can’t require things from your children that you aren’t doing yourself.
But I am baking and cooking consistently again, which is always a good sign. I’m planning on getting a few photos of my culinary creations up here soon, because the computer seems to be be having itself, and I’m trying to be a bit more homemakery online, which is much more of a reflection of who I am offline than the polemic rants at the pink blog would suggest.
Baby steps – it has to be. You only walk one step at a time, and never very far all at once. Especially in the midst of bereavement and difficulty. But steps are progress, and that’s where I am today, making small bits of progress.
Oh, it’s great to see you blogging here again!
Look forward to the recipes
