I'll begin by admitting that I completely forgot to make lunches last night. Actually, I remembered just as I got really comfortable and warm in my bed. So I rationalized that since the dishwasher hadn't been run for a lack of enough dirty dishes, I would have plenty of time to make lunches in the morning. Unfortunately, I didn't remember that I … [Read more...]

A Few Comments from my Family
My son - "But Mom, I just wore these undies a few days ago!" (I had to explain that I'm doing better on laundry now, and they really were clean.)My husband (after spilling the dog's water in the playroom) - "Seriously, we don't have a single dirty towel in this house?"My husband - "You're doing so good. I really feel like we could have people … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
Last week I followed the menu plan pretty well. I was especially appreciative that I had extra chicken noodle soup leftover that we ate on Sunday for lunch with grilled cheese sandwiches. I put the leftover soup in the crock pot before we left for church so it was hot and ready when we got home. It's amazing how planning makes such a difference as … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
I've said before how difficult weekends are. Since we were gone all day yesterday, I felt pretty justified not doing much. That was wrong. I still need to do the basic daily tasks. Today I had a very natural thought come into my head. I was going to do a last minute pickup, and makeup for not doing my tasks yesterday. I had to get them done in … [Read more...]
New Non-negotiable Task for the Week – Refocus
We spent all day yesterday at a Boy Scout Family Campout, hence the lack of posts. We didn't actually spend the night either night, just went for the day. It was a blast, and it was enough. So today I've just now been thinking about my new task for the week. At first, I'll admit, my mind was blank. I have so very far to go to get this house … [Read more...]
Me vs. Laundry
I'm okay with clothing as individual pieces, I even like a lot of it, but as an entire group of my family's clothing, I despise it. Does this make me a laundrist? Laundry overwhelms me. But since I have a moral dilemma with going to the grocery store naked, I have to deal with it. I taught in Asia for two years. I worked with a couple who were … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
Today was Pumpkin Math at my son's kindergarten. So fun. They estimate and then measure the weight, number of seeds, circumference, etc. We had a blast and it's nice to feel like a hero. My son had told his teacher that I am a professional pumpkin cutter, because I won a contest last year at church. It's nice to be the best at something in … [Read more...]
Random Story
I've been doing Works For Me Wednesday most Wednesdays since I started the blog. It's one of those blog carnivals that seems right up my blog alley. We slobs are generally very creative at coming up with inventive solutions since we generally put things off until the very . . . . last . . . minute. Yesterday when I linked up, I saw that she's … [Read more...]
Getting worse before it gets better?
I'm a little frustrated right now. The final push in getting my office/game room finished is here. My mom is going to be here to help me paint in just a little over a week. I have two of four walls almost completely finished. I have my system down. I'm going back over each wall and getting the last remnants of wallpaper backing scraped off, … [Read more...]
