Obnoxious title, I know. But I'M DONE!!!!!! I have officially gone back over every square inch of the walls in my office and removed the ever-so-lovely teeny tiny bits of wallpaper and then gone back over them again with the scrubby side of a sponge, and then gone back over them again with the sponge side of the sponge. Whew! I'm tired. If … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist
I'll begin by admitting that I completely forgot to make lunches last night. Actually, I remembered just as I got really comfortable and warm in my bed. So I rationalized that since the dishwasher hadn't been run for a lack of enough dirty dishes, I would have plenty of time to make lunches in the morning. Unfortunately, I didn't remember that I … [Read more...]
A Few Comments from my Family
My son - "But Mom, I just wore these undies a few days ago!" (I had to explain that I'm doing better on laundry now, and they really were clean.)My husband (after spilling the dog's water in the playroom) - "Seriously, we don't have a single dirty towel in this house?"My husband - "You're doing so good. I really feel like we could have people … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
Last week I followed the menu plan pretty well. I was especially appreciative that I had extra chicken noodle soup leftover that we ate on Sunday for lunch with grilled cheese sandwiches. I put the leftover soup in the crock pot before we left for church so it was hot and ready when we got home. It's amazing how planning makes such a difference as … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
I've said before how difficult weekends are. Since we were gone all day yesterday, I felt pretty justified not doing much. That was wrong. I still need to do the basic daily tasks. Today I had a very natural thought come into my head. I was going to do a last minute pickup, and makeup for not doing my tasks yesterday. I had to get them done in … [Read more...]
New Non-negotiable Task for the Week – Refocus
We spent all day yesterday at a Boy Scout Family Campout, hence the lack of posts. We didn't actually spend the night either night, just went for the day. It was a blast, and it was enough. So today I've just now been thinking about my new task for the week. At first, I'll admit, my mind was blank. I have so very far to go to get this house … [Read more...]
Me vs. Laundry
I'm okay with clothing as individual pieces, I even like a lot of it, but as an entire group of my family's clothing, I despise it. Does this make me a laundrist? Laundry overwhelms me. But since I have a moral dilemma with going to the grocery store naked, I have to deal with it. I taught in Asia for two years. I worked with a couple who were … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
Today was Pumpkin Math at my son's kindergarten. So fun. They estimate and then measure the weight, number of seeds, circumference, etc. We had a blast and it's nice to feel like a hero. My son had told his teacher that I am a professional pumpkin cutter, because I won a contest last year at church. It's nice to be the best at something in … [Read more...]
