Made bed. Cleaned kitchen.Swept kitchen.Did focused pick-up.Vacuumed.Washed the dirtiest princess costume we own, which is the one my daughter wants to wear for "Halloweena," of course. I'm counting that as my load of laundry, since I also dried, folded and put away the load that I just started yesterday. Today's been one of those … [Read more...]
What change has made the biggest impact?
I'm writing this for Works for Me Wednesday. I was thinking about this last week when I wrote about something else. I asked myself what about this "coming clean" process really works for me? I would generally say that the process itself does. But the one thing that makes the biggest impact would have to be getting up earlier than … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist – Fitting in the Tasks
I've mentioned before that I'm a "theatre person." This is how I describe myself since I'm not currently doing much in that area. Little things here and there at the church keep me generally satisfied. But I've had this random opportunity to do a variety show in a real theatre with other real "theatre people" and I'm so excited. I've chosen not … [Read more...]
I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done!
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

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...]
