Im a sahm.. who is stuck in a rut!

How do you get motivated in the mornings?! Im just kinda blah here lately.. havent always been but now i have no motivation to clean the house! I have no energy. What do you do for energy?

Im a sham too and I get those days. I just sit back and play online and neglect my household.I usually get motivated when Im on my period. I also visit some people whose house is messier then mine. Thats very encouraging to me cause I dont want mine to look like theirs.

Crystal Light energy, vivarin, iron supplement some or all of the above.

Make a list of what can be done later and what needs to be done now

Take a commercial break, if you are watching TV, just do something during every commercial.

Try and get most everything done in the morning so you have the afternoon to relax.

Do laundry in sections like shirts and bras, then pants, socks and underwear and put it away after each load so it is less daunting if you waited until it was all done.

Get disinfecting wipes and use those in between major mops

Get a handheld vacuum, to take care of in-between major vacuums

A kitchen always looks clean if the sink is empty!

Well ok now .. the dishes are over flowing .. my room looks like laundry exploded (which it did lol) it's all clean though lol. And now I just don't know where to start you know? Lol.
