Ugh.This slob-problem gets me so unbelievably frustrated sometimes.Here on the blog, I've decided to face the problem head-on. Calling myself a slob, admitting when lame excuses are . . . . well . . . lame, being totally honest with myself about how my brain does and doesn't function. But even though I have accepted that I am a slob, and am … [Read more...]
Forced to Change my Grocery Shopping Style
This post has been rolling around in my head for almost two months. Today, Money Saving Mom is sharing her financial goals and is hosting a linky, so I decided now was as good a time as any to write it. Her goals are lofty, mine really aren't. I've been irritated since learning that my normal shopping routine was going to be … [Read more...]
I Wonder Where She Learned That?
As my daughter and I worked on her room, I noticed that she headed to her door to immediately hang anything hangable that she came across. I wonder where she learned that? Hmmm. … [Read more...]
A Quick Post Before I Become Incoherent
It's another Benedryl Day. This Imminent Arrival of the Bug Man thing is about make me crazy. Here I've been going along, proud of myself for mopping on Thursdays, being able to have people over every single Sunday night, not letting the dishes get out of control, and being able to name with certainty the date when I last cleaned the … [Read more...]
Sometimes Survival Techniques Just Don’t Cut It
I've shared that this week is dedicated to getting the house to the point where the bug-man can come in and spray. While I would love to get the house to the point of perfection so that there is no embarrassment as he enters any-old-room, I'm a slob, and so that just isn't something I can achieve in less than a week. So I'm depending on survival … [Read more...]
A Tip for Remembering to Take Medication
Last spring, one of my children was diagnosed with a condition that requires medication three times daily. It was a shock to us, partially because of the life change that comes with dealing with a chronic condition, but partly because I'm not exactly the best at remembering medication. Any prescription that's supposed to take 10 days to complete … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist – Again with the Priorities
So thankful for my daily checklist on days like today. It helps me keep my priorities in line. I'm starting to freak out a little over how much I need to do before the bug man comes on Monday, and pre-daily-checklist, I would have let that be an excuse to ignore the kitchen, bathrooms, whatever. Whenever I get delusional that I've … [Read more...]
The Big Garage Sale Dilemma
Garage sales. Love 'em. As I've shared before, my slobbish ways came perilously close to hoarding when I discovered eBay and the whole "buy it for a quarter, sell it for 17.01" fabulousness. Garage sales became less of a shopping experience, and more of a grabbing experience. Up at 6:30, crazy-eyes aglow with the anticipation of finding … [Read more...]
Forever Re-Prioritizing
Mamas know all about re-prioritizing. Whether it's the big and noble stuff like adjusting your vision of the mom you dreamed you would be to the mom you are capable of being, or the little stuff like shortening an already short list of must-have items from the store when your toddler falls and puts a gash in her knee. Or maybe it's the … [Read more...]
