Week Two – Day One

August 31, 2009 By Dana White 1 Comment

I’m not planning to keep track of the days forever, because, after all, this is the rest of my life, right?

Today was another one of those days where all plans went out the window. Another sick kid and another doctor visit. Looks like we’re on the healing side of things and we should be back to normal very soon. Ahhh.

Again, getting up a little earlier is the saving grace on days like these. I don’t love it, but the payoff has been incredible. I get the kitchen done before the day even starts. I feel so much better when my kitchen is done.

Today I:

made bed

cleaned kitchen – Including this week’s additional non-negotiable of sweeping the kitchen. I’m assuming that today was more work than additional days will be since it hadn’t been done in a while. It does make such a huge difference.

Did one load of laundry – still to be folded and put away.

Picked up living room.

One week down: The rest of my life to go . . .

August 30, 2009 By Dana White 15 Comments

I started this blog on Monday, and today is Sunday. So with this post, I’ve been blogging for a week now. I’m proud of the fact that my bed has been made everyday. I used to think that there was no point in making your bed, because you’re going to get back in and mess […]

ONE Big Mess (Instead of 8!)

August 29, 2009 By Dana White 56 Comments

  I’m messy. Clutter is a constant struggle. The monotonous task of keeping my kitchen sparkling after three meals a day is not on the top of my priority list. I wish it was, and so we have this blog. I love it when I come up with something that helps me minimize how messy […]

Daily Checklist

August 28, 2009 By Dana White 3 Comments

Got up at 6:20. Made bed. Put on workout clothes. Emptied dishwasher. Cleaned up kitchen. Exercised. After this, my day plan was totally shot when my husband and I decided one of the kids needed to go to the doctor for a pain that still hasn’t gone away. Soooooo, the entire day was spent making […]

Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

August 28, 2009 By Dana White 34 Comments

Is it just me, or can you feel the “I’m not going to want to cook tonight” funk coming on early in the day sometimes? This is my go-to meal when that hits. First of all, it can be put in the crockpot at noon, sometimes as late as 2 if you aren’t going to […]

A Day of Real Life

August 27, 2009 By Dana White 6 Comments

Today was one of those “real life” days. I’ve been home most days this week and today began with a dentist appt and marathon coupon shopping. Fun day. So what did I get done? Nothing. I even have to go check to see if I made my bed. . . . I did!!! I’m so […]

What should I be doing?

August 26, 2009 By Dana White 28 Comments

So I’ve blogged for two days now. Not exactly a marathon accomplishment, but you have to start somewhere. I’m guessing that if anyone was reading this, they’d probably want to tell me about some great resources to help in getting my house in order. I’m very open to reading things, but I should probably share […]
