The Pantry Challenge is OVER!!!!!

January 25, 2010 By Dana White | 2 Comments

Today is PAYDAY! Can you feel the joy? I enjoyed the pantry challenge. Really . . . I did. The first three weeks I was excited, felt a great sense of pride and accomplishment, and thought I could probably go on doing it indefinitely. Last week, I was mad. I think I actually said at one point to hubby when he was tiptoeing around me, "And … [Read more...]

My New Non-Negotiable for the Week

January 25, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

My checklist was pretty pathetic last week. The first two days are partially filled, the third has three checks, and then I forgot that it existed. I could come up with a fabulous list of totally legit excuses, but I'll spare you. I have been asked to post the actual checklist, and if I can figure out how to do that, I will. I listed all of the … [Read more...]

Racing the Clock

January 22, 2010 By Dana White | 8 Comments

Before I start, I'll let you know that I just called my best friend to get her permission to tell this story. Thankfully, she's one of the three "real life" people (other than my husband) who know about my blog. When we were in college, she took a home-ec class. In it, she had an assignment to estimate the time it would take for each step of … [Read more...]

Just Doing it or Doing it Well?

January 21, 2010 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I've read in various places, such as Flylady, that perfectionism is a problem for people like me. It sounds strange, but I do get where this idea is coming from. It has a lot to do with why big cleaning jobs overwhelm me. I imagine that to do something well, to really get all of the pee out of the carpet, I would need a huge amount of time, work, … [Read more...]

De-Grossifying Potty-Training

January 20, 2010 By Dana White | 8 Comments

I'm cranky today, and not feeling very inspired. I generally try to incorporate Works For Me Wednesday posts into what I am already writing about my "Journey Away From Slobdom" but that's just "not working" for me today. I could not link up, but I've met quite a few of you through WFMW, and I hate to miss one. Plus, I thought of a good tip that … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist for a Cranky Mama

January 20, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

It's Wed. Bible Study day which is always a little crazy because I'm out most of the day. A little extra crazy today since when I went to my car after Bible study, one of the back tires was as flat as a pancake. I look for excuses anywhere I can find them. I can turn any slight change of plan or inconvenience into a great excuse to throw … [Read more...]

So Far to Go

January 19, 2010 By Dana White | 5 Comments

Last week was a good week of progress. I had several days on which I was able to get some major decluttering done. It is rewarding to open the kitchen cabinets and be able to see what is really in there, and get to it easily. The only problem with a week like that is that I'm discouraged this week. I haven't had/don't have/won't have any time for … [Read more...]
