Oops
I did my daily checklist for today and never even thought about my new daily task. Welcome to my world of scatterbrainedness! I did think of it a little while ago and did do it. I purposely washed a load of sheets today because they make a big impact but are quick to fold and put away. So, day one=one load of laundry completely done from start … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
Today has been so fun, but I have to get this done. Menu planning has helped so much over the last several weeks in my quest for an orderly home. I'm not feeling terribly creative this week. All three of my kids are in a wedding on Saturday which means that I have to drive 45 minutes one way to get my daughter's shoes, and 45 minutes the other … [Read more...]
Fun Fun Day
Today is Columbus day, and for us it's also Fair Day, so the kids are out of school. We're not about to go to the fair (too crazy and expensive and hubby had to work), so we're just at home today. It's cold and overcast, so it's an inside day. We have had so much fun. Last week, at some point, I tried to think of a big project that I could get … [Read more...]
Do my tasks – fall into bed.

Amazingly, even though it was only about 5 hours between, they needed it. Cleaned kitchen. Swept kitchen. Did very thorough walk through looking for clutter and … [Read more...]
My new non-negotiable for the week
It's Sunday night and that means that it's time to add a new non-negotiable task for the week. These are the things that I can't make excuses about. Although I did. Last night. Last night I didn't do the bathroom counter and toilet wipe-down. The guilt is bad. I didn't want to do it. I was exhausted and also knew that since we would be having … [Read more...]
Daily Tasks – Whether it needs it or not!
I am constantly looking for excuses. I'm good at it too. I can always rationalize putting off the things I just don't want to do.Last night my father-in-law was here. The kids went to bed, and so it was time to wipe down the bathroom counters and toilets. The first excuse that came to mind was that I wouldn't be a good hostess if I cleaned … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist – and a Surprise Overnight Guest!
My husband called yesterday to let me know that his dad is going to come spend the night tonight. Do you know what I said? Get ready . . ."Okay."Seriously. That's what I said. And what's even more shocking, it's what I was actually thinking, too!No internal inappropriate language or anything. Our office/guest room is ready. The half-bath in that … [Read more...]
Like Mother, Like Daughter (AAAAHHHH!)
I worked on my daughter's room this morning. It was scary. Scary to anyone who might happen to pass by, but especially scary to a mom who struggles with chaos and clutter and desperately doesn't want to pass this on to her children. My daughter is three. She is at an age when she should be able to start picking up her room on her own, with … [Read more...]
