I've done this for several months now, and I find it quite funny that just as hubby ran out of breakfast pockets, Money Saving Mom is doing another Freezer Cooking Days. So . . . um . . . obviously I'm doing more breakfast pockets. I made them with ham, eggs and cheese last time, but this time I bought some HOT breakfast sausage to use as the …

My Vacuum Cleaner’s New Frontier
It's Friday . . . so I dusted and vacuumed. In the past two months or so of this new Task-a-Day thing, I've developed a bit of a method for vacuuming my house. Since all the main areas of the house have hardwood floors, I go through first with the broom and get the corners and edges swept out into the middle of the floor. Then I can vacuum …
Laundry Day’s Fatal Flaw
So I'm loving laundry day. Mostly the lack of the nagging I-should-be-doing-laundry-right-now feeling. It's an almost perfect plan. Focus for one day. Forget it - sans guilt - for the other six. I've even proven that I can do it on days when we have a field trip to the zoo. Nothing's stopping me now, right? Right? Nothing except …
Daily Checklist
Today has been better than yesterday's Day of Funk. I made my bed when I got up . . . a good sign.I emptied the dishwasher, cleaned up the kitchen after last night's excessively messy rice-krispies-as-a-chicken-coating episode. (Do NOT get distracted while crushing rice krispies with the bottom of a cup and talking to your husband on the phone and …
Curing My Funk
Me and my moods. I call this a funk. It's not like I'm down or anything, I just don't feel like doing anything. I'm tired, run-down, listless . . . maybe I need some Vitametavegamin? It isn't that anything is wrong. It's a normal crazy Wednesday. I discovered while sitting in my discussion group at my Bible Study that I had finished last …
Accepting How I Learn
First, let me clarify a few things. 1. Flylady is awesome. When people ask me for advice here, I try to make it clear that I'm no expert when it comes to cleaning, organizing, etc. and I generally send them her way. If you want to know what it takes to get your house under control, she's your woman. And she'll tell you exactly …
The Beginning of the End
Today I accompanied my son's kindergarten class to the zoo. It was a gorgeous day, and we had a great time. The weather is beginning to border on "hot" at certain points, and I must say that I was a bit envious of those otters splashing around. I'm so ready for summer. There are now only five weeks left of school, and they are full. Almost …
No Magic Formulas
Do you ever wish you would just learn your lesson and never have to be taught it again? Tonight, as I de-disaster-ized my home before our home group arrived, I was surprised that I was surprised at how bad it had gotten. What did I expect when I had done exactly nothing to it in three days? I was thankful that it was recoverable, due to the major …
Standing on the Edge of the Cliff
It's been one of those weeks. One of those like we all have. My house has been toward the bottom of the priority list. On Monday, I got all of our laundry done. On Tuesday, I cleaned the bathrooms quickly since there was a school assembly to attend and a little boy to pick up for lunch on his "liquid diet" day. On Wednesday, we spent most of …
