Smart Habit Saturday

Welcome! If you are new to SHS find out all about it here: Getting Started with SHS. Click here to read more SHS posts. Please don't forget to link back to this post so your readers can find out more about SHS.

Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.

Mark Twain

That sounds exactly like what we're doing with SHS doesn't it? We're coaxing good habits out a little bit at a time. Or is it the bad habits we're coaxing out? Whichever...

I am back into the swing of things around here and my floors are clean. Ok, not mopped but definitely vacuumed. I'll get to the mopping any day now. I've been thinking about why it's so difficult to force myself to mop my floors and here's what I've come up with. Not only do all the toys and clutter need to be picked up and the floors vacuumed but there can't be any children, large or small, running about. We're good with the first two things but by the time we get to the third, the actual mopping part, I'm too tired to wrangle children out of the way so I give up.

I'm going to defy the forces of nature this next week and get my floors mopped. Wish me luck!

Attention all Smart Habit Saturday-er's: I am going to get crazy and take the month of Decmeber off from SHS. It is going to be a busy month so we could probably all use a break. If you want to keep doing SHS on your blog you are welcome to but start planning a big New Year's Smart Habit Saturday post for the first week in January and then we'll link up on January 4th. Doesn't that sound exciting? I know most of us will be all about exercise and eating right after the Holiday season and I can't wait to hear about it!
