Homemaker Motivator

Everyday my to-do list starts off like this:

5:30am: Get up for gym
9am: Work
5:30pm: Skip home from work
6pm: Make something for dinner that requires more than 2 ingredients
7pm-: Spend the rest of the evenings organizing house

In reality, it turns in to something like this:

5:30am: Get mad at alarm for disturbing sleep and reset to 7:30am
7:30am: Wake up, get mad at self for skipping the gym
9am: Drag self to work with my best friend caffeine
9:30am-2pm: Avoid eating tasty treats that co-workers bring in
2:30pm: Cave and eat the treats anyways
5:30pm: Skip home from work
6pm: Make some sort of plain protein with sides of simple veggie dishes (on a side note, I'm starting to get handy with the grill!)
7pm: Plop on couch, put off organizing until the weekend

Needless to say there is so much to be done that I can't get motivated to start small.  Combine that with a long work day and just pure laziness, nothing has seemed to be getting done.  I think a stay-cation is in order?  BUT this past weekend, a few of my boyfriend's friends helped put up the kitchen shelves/décor I've been dying to put into action (pictures soon!).  The kitchen, aka my favorite part of any house, is finally coming together.  Though I can't actually fit an IKEA trip until August, I've finally put together a project to do list.  One room at a time of course - sometimes plopping on the couch is a must.

Now if only I could get motivated for that 5:30am wake-up call...
