Quick post in the 23 minutes I have before I need to start dinner. It was supposed to be a relaxing afternoon at home, but someone called to suggest we go see Toy Story 3 in a little-bit-bigger-town near our small-town. They have a dinky theatre where the matinee is 2.25!!! Seriously, I paid 9 bucks for me and the three kids to see the hottest … [Read more...]
Living Up to My Expectations
I've been saying for weeks that this week, VBS week, was going to be my undoing. I expected it to be crazy, myself to make excuses, and order to be unattainable. This is the big struggle I face between being realistic about how I am, and deciding to stop the excuses so I can change the things I need to change. I've been trying to be … [Read more...]
Feeling a Little Better
Just got back from a late-night haircut and color. Nothing perks up a girl like getting her roots done. It's also a biggie checked off the list of things I wanted to do before going on vacation/Savvy Blogging Summit. I worked hard on getting laundry folded, and made a lot of progress. Completing that task will go a long way in making me feel … [Read more...]
Losing Things . . . Losing My Mind
My husband used to know where to find his keys at any given moment.Then he married me.The most frustrating thing about being a slob is my tendency to lose things. "Tendency" really isn't a strong enough word. If I had the brain power right now, I'd think of a word to fit that sentence that could be defined as "sure thing." I have … [Read more...]
Two Steps Back, and One Step Forward
The kitchen. Oh my. I have had a full-fledged, in-my-face reminder of the fact that I am a slob. A reminder of how a week of minimal/survival effort followed by two days of full-on neglect can create a kitchen worthy of starting a blog called A Slob Comes Clean. Last night, I had the all-too-familiar feeling of frustration come over me as … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday – The Crazy Week Edition
Now that my horrible, terrible, very bad kitchen is clean(ish), I'm determined to get this menu plan done. Somehow, the kitchen is easier to clean when I have a planned menu. I'm not sure how that works, other than that maybe I don't pull things out as a part of an idea to make something, and then leave them out when I realize that I don't have the … [Read more...]
Watching Clutter Happen
My house looks like summer. Not in the fresh-flowers-on-the-dining-table way, but in the flip-flops-everywhere-and-random-junk-piling-up-from-lack-of-routine way.And I'm watching it happen.Sometimes I'm not aware of the clutter happening, but right now I feel very aware. I may not have purposely put it there, but I have purposely left it there. I … [Read more...]
Saving Money and Preventing Dizziness at Amusement Parks
This has nothing to do with being a slob or my deslobification progress. But hey, I have a blog and so I get to write what I want! A few tips I want to share after our fun trip to Six Flags yesterday: First, a frugal one. We do our best to spend as little money as possible on the overpriced food at amusement parks. However, a few years ago, … [Read more...]
Focus Check Friday
Really? Again? Friday? Zowie, focus is difficult in the summer. I've had a bad case of the donwannas, but thankfully, the thing that has helped is . . . focus. Having an overall desire to help my kids learn 1) what cleaning is, and 2) that it has to be done consistently, has helped me stay on track. My focus for next week? Ummmm . . . VBS. … [Read more...]
