So yesterday I was pretty pumped about my new plan to get this house into shape.  Today that excitement wanes a little as I realize just how much I have to do.  And this is my problem...instead of looking at my list and taking it one task at a time (like I lined out in said list), I start looking around and see the WHOLE picture, and I want to faint...or curl up into a ball and mumble incoherently about 'damned spots.'  

I remind myself to Breathe and concentrate on my list only.  I will get through this.  Every time I finish one task, I feel good.  So when it's all completed, I know I'll feel great (and I won't panic every time my doorbell rings).  And I'll actually call and schedule that flooring estimate...  I just have to focus.  Easier said than done - but not impossible.  Wish me luck today.
