Destructive pup

Some days I wake up motivated, ready & raring to go. On these days, I get through as much housework as I possibly can before the inevitable happens & all of my motivation is lost, by this time I’ve gotten through a decent amount but not as much as I’d hoped. Then I watch some tiktok videos or youtube shorts of people cleaning their house & they’re immaculate & I wonder how they do it, when most of them are the same as me, a husband, three children & family pets. How can these people have such pristine houses with children running around, touching windows, pulling out all of the clothes from their drawers & wearing ALL of them the same day, leaving wrappers on their bedroom floor & dogs leaving footprints everywhere. It’s just not possible, they must have superpowers. I need to be in contact with these people to find out their scerets, failing that, hire a cleaner to do it for me. I’m sat here writing a story about housework, instead of just getting it done, but having been up since 9am cleaning, I think ii’m entitled to a small break, before I carry on.

I’m determined today will be the day I finish my garden, for the last year & a half, the garden has belonged to the dog, it’s his area. He runs around, plays with his many, many toys & goes to the toilet. My once beautiful, flower filled, oasis of a garden, is now a sight for sore eyes with the grass all ripped apart, overgrown weeds have made a home in my flower beds, the slabs are covered with green moss & whenever it rains, huge puddles form in the grass, killing what’s left. Well, enough is enough. I will have my flower beds back, blooming with gorgeous lillies, sweet peas & a huge mixture of flowers, to attract all the bees & butterflies, my grass will be green & luscious. This summer it’s going to be a child friendly, play area for my youngest to make many memories, the same as his big sisters had. The dog can still do his thing but just less destrutively. Hopfully this cup of coffee brings back my get up & go.

We’ll see how it goes.

Thanks
