Monday – My Most Important Day of the Week

April 18, 2011 By Dana White | 2 Comments

As I shared last week, my schedule has changed and I'm no longer home on Tuesday mornings.  For all of my loosi-goosiness, I guess I'm also a schedule-lover because this change in routine makes me want to throw my hands up in the air and totally give up. But today, the second Monday of this new routine, I again cleaned the bathrooms in addition … [Read more...]

No Time for Fruit Salad

March 2, 2011 By Dana White | 6 Comments

___________________________________________ I remember the look on his face. His always-supportive, generally-understanding, unconditionally-loving face. He was consciously, and with great effort, keeping the muscles from contorting into a look of disbelief.  He was using every ounce of compassion to keep from glancing in the direction of … [Read more...]

It’s a Good Thing I Like Roller Coasters

February 22, 2011 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I'm glad I'm a thrill-ride kind of girl who enjoys ups and downs and stomach-floaty moments. Because this Slob in Recovery thing could really get to me if I wasn't. I know it's good to celebrate progress.  I know it's good to enjoy the changes that I've already made. But perhaps . . . perhaps . . . . the part of my brain that was able to … [Read more...]

2010 Blog Recap – A Fun Exercise

December 31, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

I saw that one of my favorite always-honest-and-very-funny blogger friends, Mary at Giving Up on Perfect was participating in a 2010 Recap Carnival over at Musings of a Housewife. The idea is to share the first lines of your first post from each month. Hmmm. I went to January, and saw that what I thought was my first post of the year was … [Read more...]

And the First Thing I Did Was Load the Dishwasher . . .

December 21, 2010 By Dana White | 5 Comments

We just arrived home after three nights away. My daughter's first words when she walked in the back door? "Wow, how did this place get so clean?" (She had left early with her grandmother and wasn't here for the frantic pre-party-cleaning.) And I must say that I'm rather proud that the first thing I did when I got home tonight was load … [Read more...]

Out of Sick Days

October 25, 2010 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I'm out of sick days. Yesterday, I was full-on sick.  I left church early, went to bed, and canceled some activities. Today, I'm feeling better, but far from 100%.  Ideally, I probably need to take it easy and get some rest so I could fully recover.  It's a great day for watching a movie with my daughter, or going through some papers that … [Read more...]

Creating Traditions is So Much Easier In a Clean (Or Even a Cleanish) House

October 13, 2010 By Dana White | 7 Comments

A year ago today I was in awe that we were able to have a fun day of carving a pumpkin and baking a pumpkin pie without spending hours decluttering the dining room table and doing the dishes before we could even get started. Well, it's Columbus Day again, and I decided to make it a tradition to designate this first-school-holiday-of-the-year as … [Read more...]

A Little Progress Here and There

October 8, 2010 By Dana White | 5 Comments

I've really been struggling with prioritizing lately.  I'm feeling over committed, but it's all good stuff and there isn't anything that is an obvious choice to cut out. As long as I can stick to my basic daily checklists and weekly tasks, I'm surviving, but it's just a fact of life that I'll never get everything done that I want to do. For … [Read more...]

Sometimes You Need to Sleep On It

September 28, 2010 By Dana White | 10 Comments

Yesterday, I was in a bit of a mood.  A never-have-enough-time-so-what's-the-point-of-trying-how-am-I-ever-going-to-kick-this-slob-thing mood. Sorry. It's my reality that sometimes the mess and/or clutter overwhelms me. I thought about completely giving up on the picture framing/storage thing.  I thought about moving on to another of the … [Read more...]
