When I don't know what to do...

When I don't know what to do I clean. I organise. I re-organise. I've been doing quite a lot of these "homemaker" activities this past week.

I've done menu plans, grocery shopping, cooking and packed the leftovers for lunch the next day. I've reorganised half of the kitchen cupboards, taking unused items to the local Vinnies. I've gone through the fridge and thrown out anything that has sneaked past the best-before date. Rubbish has been sorted according to local council recycling bin colours.

I've cleaned, vacuumed, washed, dusted and scrubbed several areas of the house. When "the one who works" is out my friendly voice takes phone messages.

Outside the home, I have picked up my soccermom car, joined a gym and caught up with neighbours at the local shops. I'm still figuring out what I'm supposed to do with these weekdays but hey- there's always housework!
