I'm later than usual getting this post done since we were up at school this morning and then had a playdate today. The good news is that my very supportive best friend who knows how bad my messiness is was totally impressed with my house. Today I:Made bed. (I've been doing this everyday (except one) for over a month now, so I hope it's a … [Read more...]
Can a Germaphobe be a Slob?
I installed a sitemeter about two weeks ago to see if anyone was visiting my blog. It is the coolest thing ever. It tells me how people found my site. I can see how many visits I got from linking up on Tackle it Tuesday, Menu Plan Monday, or wherever. It also tells me if someone found me by a google search. Someone, and I don't know if you're … [Read more...]
The Big Picture . . . and the Small Details
I'm working on the office this week. I decluttered the corner on Monday, cleared/organized my desk on Tuesday, was gone all day yesterday, and today is Thursday. I haven't done anything in this room yet. I still may, but it's not guaranteed since in a short while I'll leave to pick up kids from school and then I'm rarely able to focus on one thing … [Read more...]
Multitasking and Making the Dog Happy
I love cooking. Raw meat, chicken germs . . . not so much. I like to minimize the number of times I have to completely disinfect my sink after trimming raw chicken. The thought of chicken germs totally grosses me out. As does the thought of eating the fatty/cartilage/membrane stuff that is on the boneless skinless chicken breasts I buy. I know I'm … [Read more...]
My daily checklist has a purpose
I've been gone all day. ALL day. So, I sat down here to do my daily checklist. I did well on my morning tasks, such as emptying the dishwasher and sweeping the kitchen. When I sat down just now, I thought to myself "I haven't noticed anything, I'm sure the other areas are fine." Seriously? This is me. Me not noticing things is how this mess … [Read more...]
Done . . . Whew!
I did it. I cleaned off my desk. I did NOT feel like it, but I did it. Sometimes when I don't feel like it, I'll get into the mood once I get started. Not this time. I never got into the mood, but I didn't quit. I really sound crabby today, and I'll blame that on Billy Blanks. My thighs are killing me after doing a new tae-bo video this … [Read more...]
Daily checklist – and putting off the big stuff
I need to do my daily checklist, right? I have to get it done or that would be procrastinating, right? It's not that I'm putting off the desk cleanup. Not at all. Today I: Made bed. Made lunches (forgot to last night). Cleaned kitchen. Swept kitchen. Ran some laundry. Did 5 minute walk through. Checked bathrooms for floor … [Read more...]
Feeling overwhelmed
I'm determined to make some progress this week. Yesterday I cleared one small corner of the office/gameroom, and while that corner looks much better, the room still looks awful. I think that I should work my way around the room to get it done. However, if it takes three hours to clear/organize four feet of space, this is going to take forever. It's … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
I'm not in the mood today, to be honest, but I'm going to do a menu plan because I have seen in the last few weeks how much it helps me. I'm trying so hard to focus on the decluttering that I know I could easily end up scrambling for dinner if I don't plan ahead. Monday - hamburger patties and mac-n-cheese Tuesday - Crockpot BBQ chicken … [Read more...]
