I'm on my way...


I am always writing about how unorganized I am and how I need to get organized. Well, I'm on my way. I developed a home charting schedule for me to follow at home to keep our house cleaner - these two kids are crazy messy. So, I've been doing that this week and its working well. I also decided to go into work late on Thursday so that I could clean the house in the morning so that we don't spend our weekends cleaning.

THEN, I made a noteboook for work to keep all of my project categories seperate for work so that I can find what i need. AND develop a schedule for projects that need to be done.

Truly, this is making my life easier and I already feel more accomplished.

I've been baking more too - now that I've given myself permission to not do house work all the time since its scheduled - I made some killer pumpkin bread the other night and tonight may make some peach cobbler for Mr. Dahl. I'm trying hard not to get caught in the cupcake craze, but I have a hankerin to buy some frosting tips and cupcake transporter containers. I keep telling myself its just an excuse to buy something, but I love to bake and cupcakes are GREAT for school parties. We'll see how long I hold out.

I'm having a great hair day (I got it cut again and I'm not loving it....) and listening to the Lemonheads - its another good day......

My First Blog

I've been so enamoured of blogs lately, that I decided to start one on my own. The only thing is that most of the blogs I visit are so creative and forward thinking. I'm great at copying someones idea and running with it, but I'm not so great at coming up with things on my own. This blog is obviously pretty boring at the moment, but I think I will start adding things to help me gain some focus. Like I really need to keep track of whats bothering me, what I'm thankful for and what I want. They are all too many and I think this could be a fun way to help me narrow it all down. So today here are my thoughts:
  • I'm bothered by the fact that I KNOW I have a few things I HAVE to get done and I can't be disciplined enough to do those things before things like this blogging
  • I'm Thankful for Wednesdays - I get to have lunch with all of my awesome work girlfriends
  • I REALLY want a fall inspired vintage tablecloth

I'm having a great hair day, a so far good eating day and listening to vintage Duran - Planet Earth. Its a good day......
