Back to normal. The only problem is that most weeks, it's normal to never have a normal day. But hey, I'll enjoy it while it lasts!I remembered this morning, as lots of long-put-off to-dos were flitting through my brain, that I didn't put "make a to-do list" on my list of non-negotiables that I posted last night. I knew I was forgetting … [Read more...]

Back to Menu Planning!
I'm ready to get back into the Menu Planning mode after the loosey-goosey holidays. Since I've committed to use up what we have and only spend 50 dollars a week for the next few weeks, I have to plan. I really don't have a choice. Besides, I'm always amazed at what a difference it makes in how the household runs when I don't have to rack my brain … [Read more...]
Refocusing on my Non-Negotiables
I'm not adding a new non-negotiable task this week like I usually do on Sundays. Because I've been "negotiating" them for the last several weeks. But I'm honestly excited to start being consistent in my daily tasks again. How nerdy is that? So I thought that for this week, I need to make an actual list of tasks. Since I've been backsliding … [Read more...]

Also included in the amount, but not pictured, are two Sunday newspapers for 2.00 apiece, purchased for the coupons, since today's paper had LOTS … [Read more...]
Being Realistic or Continuing the Problem?
I think that at this exact moment in time, all of my dishtowels and dishcloths are clean. A good thing, right? Hmmm. I don't know how to answer that exactly, because when they're all clean, the cute little basket where they're supposed to go . . . overflows and looks awful. I have a lot of them. And yet, somehow, there are many, many … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
Today I: Made bed. Ran several loads of laundry. (haven't yet folded any) Cleaned kitchen. Swept kitchen. Did 5 minute pick-up. I'm trying to get the decorations down. Almost there, but now they're in limbo in the middle of the office floor, waiting to go up to the attic. I can't wait to have that floor space free again. I … [Read more...]
Scared of Commitment
I wrote recently about participating in the Pantry/Freezer Challenge over at Money Saving Mom and Life as Mom. I'm doing it because it's something I was already thinking that I needed to do, and their challenge was a good push. One of the main things that I put in my goals was to use cash, getting out 50 for each week this month, and using … [Read more...]
