Saturdays are hard for me with the whole "daily task" thing. I'm wishing I would have named them "weekday tasks" instead. It's hard to not think that I deserve Saturday off. The routine is out the window, and we're all so relaxed. We're heading out to the pumpkin patch today to take pictures, and I've been ironing white shirts and digging out … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
Today I: Made bed. Emptied dishwasher. Cleaned kitchen. Swept kitchen. Did longer than 5 minute walk-through of house. Checked bathrooms for clutter and wiped down counters and toilets. Did 8 minute Tae-bo. I know I don't usually include exercise in my daily checklist, but I'm proud of myself for doing something when I had such … [Read more...]
Is this what "normal" feels like?
Let me clarify, first, that normal is considered a negative thing in our home. My mother made a big deal when I was growing up about how awful it would be to be normal. It's so much more fun to be weird. It was fun, but it also taught her intended lesson that going along with the crowd is not necessarily a good thing. We knew that pulling the "But, … [Read more...]
Exhausted!
I'm so tired. Today has been non stop. I was totally wrong when I thought that having two in school would make my life less crazy. How is that? Anyway, I'm just now writing this post. But I have to stay accountable. Even on the days when I resent it. Today I:Made bed.Picked up living room and kitchen which somehow had gotten quite … [Read more...]
My Vanity or my Daily Tasks?
I'm feeling pretty cute today. I've never been one to feign modesty, and I am generally pretty honest. Honestly, I look good right now. The average person might not see me and think so, but my hair is fixed with my favorite scarf (it turned up in some random place last week), my legs are very recently shaved, I have on makeup, earrings, and … [Read more...]
Lots of ways to use my pre-cooked ground beef!
If you've read any of my menu plans, you know that I pre-cook my ground beef. It totally works for me! I sometimes wonder why I ever didn't do this. For us, as a busy family, it means I can have dinner on the table within ten minutes. That's faster than I could run out for fast food, or bake a frozen pizza. And these are "real" dinners. I … [Read more...]

Go Ahead, Open the Door!
I've been working on this room, honestly, for years. I get it cleaned up for some event when I want people to be able to get to the bathroom in the back corner, and then before I know it, it is a disaster again. So what's different this time? I hope it's me that's different. In this process I'm going through to change my slobbish ways, I'm doing … [Read more...]
What’s the Point?
I promise, this post does have a point. And it is about getting my house in order.I've been doing a new Tae-bo video for the last two weeks. It's a kicker. As in . . . behind-kicker. (My seven year old has been reading some of my posts lately and we don't use the other "b" word.)After my first child was born, I lost a lot of weight doing the … [Read more...]
