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...]

I've been doing Works For Me Wednesday most Wednesdays since I started the blog. It's one of those blog carnivals that seems right up my blog alley. We slobs are generally very creative at coming up with inventive solutions since we generally put things off until the very . . . . last . . . minute. Yesterday when I linked up, I saw that she's … [Read more...]
Getting worse before it gets better?

Speeding up Supper Prep – Chicken
I've said many times that I'm good at excuses. I can come up with some doozies. What makes them so good is that there's always truth in them. As I work on this process of changing my slobbish habits, I'm working on stopping the excuses. Really, that's something I've been working on for many years. The best way I know of to … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
I'll say right now that I totally stink at laundry. Give me a task that can be started and completed in one time period, and I'll do it. But give me a task that has to be remembered and come back to and my adhd totally kicks in. I went to bed last night without doing any of my new non-negotiable evening routine. I was sick and was in bed about … [Read more...]
