I am a huge sucker for books. I love books. Kid books, adult fiction, how to's, it doesn't matter. I love books. To prove this I have hundreds of books all over my house. I have books on shelves, on coffee tables, in coffee tables, in boxes, on the floor of my bed room, stacked on tables way too high.
If that is not enough, I love to go to the library and find new books to read. I really love to go to book fairs, book sales, garage sales with books. I just can't get enough books.
Recently I have found myself reading books about being organized, a good homemaker, a good wife etc. These have inspired me to be "super mom". Then when I go to sleep I dream of all these great things I'm going to do, like wake up before my kids and clean the kitchen, get a load of laundry in and actually cook breakfast instead of pour a bowl of cereal. However, when morning comes this does not happen. I find I give the kids their first task of the morning while I'm still lying in bed. As they finish their morning chores I'm just crawling out of bed and fumbling into the kitchen to pour a bowl of cereal as I am not motivated enough yet to make that nice yummy breakfast I was so motivated to do the night before.
Two conclusions I've drawn from this. A) I'm not a morning person. I have grand ideas and intentions in the evening but come morning that all has faded all into oblivion. B) I'm lazy. Yup that's right, I've come to the conclusion that I am lazy. I have not set my mind to something well enough to actually do it.
It is all fine and good to read these great books and be super excited to implement some of the ideas found in these great books but unless I'm willing to actually get off my duff and do them it is no good continuing to peruse the book stores, library and my own stash if I don't make myself actually do something about it. I am just wasting time reading about what I should be doing. Hopefully, I will set my mind to actually being a little less lazy very soon!
