10 Things I Tell Myself Everyday (meme)

I picked up this meme from Those24LittleHours and it got me thinking. I'm sure I'll think of another ten things I tell myself everyday before I've finished this list but these are the first ones that come to mind.

1. Tomorrow will be a little easier than today 
2. I need to Hoover/clean the bathroom/clean the oven but I'll just do this first 
3. Someday I will run my own business. I want to do something creative but I'm not good enough at any one thing just yet. 
4. I'll eat more fruit today 
5. I need to arrange to visit all those friends I haven't seen for ages. How do you decide which friends first? I always get paralysed by indecision and end up doing nothing :( 
6. I will tell my husband I love him today (I manage this most days :) ) 
7. Save up for a rainy day 
8. I am so lucky to live in a place I love with a husband I love and the most wonderful son. I have a job I enjoy and we live comfortably. For this I am constantly thankful and equally fearful we will lose it. 
9. I will get an early night tonight 
10. I need to listen more and talk less

It'll Only Take a Minute

It'll only take a minute
Just while baby has a sleep
I can iron it with one hand
While he nestles to my cheek

It'll only take a minute
Just to wipe this surface clean
While I'm making up his bottle
And I'm listening to him scream

It'll only take a minute
While he's playing on his mat
...But he's spit up his dinner
Before I've fed the cat

It'll only take a minute
To hang the washing out
It must get done today
No matter how he shouts

It'll only take a minute
Even I have to be fed
But when I get that minute?
I'll just go back to bed
