Yesterday was a bad day. David came home and his backpack was filled with water. All his books were wet. I have been having a lot of trouble lately with him, making him do his homework, teaching him to be more clean when he works, he is so lazy that instead of erasing something he will just scratch it, you can imagine how his notebooks look. And yesterday I just had enough. I was so mad, I couldn’t even bare looking at him. I got super mad, pull an adult tantrum with my brother, told him how I was feeling then went to bed and felt better. I always forget he is 9 years old, and is good that I want to teach him to be organized, clean and the habit of studying and doing his homework, but it will take time, it wont happen from one day to the other. There might be some kids that are already clean and organized, but I don’t have to compare him with others.
Today I woke up feeling much better, even my back is hurting less, I can now sit without having pain. It was about time, two days in bed was driving me crazy. So today I cleaned and organized the house a little, nothing else makes me happier than cleaning and organizing my home. I am trying to declutter the house, get rid of things that I don’t need anymore. Its so refreshing. I love it, it makes me be in such a good mood.
I also went to buy a new plant for my living room and a basket to put random stuff that people leave so that later I can put it in its place without the living room looking like a mess. The only thing missing are frames I want to hang on the wall and it will be done. Here is a preview of how it is looking so far.
Today I also went to a green house a block away from my house. There is nothing that gives me more peace than to walk through there and look at all the beautiful flowers and plants. I got a new small plant. As if my house didn’t have enough plants, its a jungle inside, but I love it. It is so nice to be filled by beautiful things like flowers and plants, I have to take advantage that I live in a country were everything blooms.
Whats your favorite place to go and feel calmed and happy?
