too much on my plate

I just have to much on my plate(s)... I usually get things done. Maybe, I should have made a check list for the month of December because lots of things did not get done, including sending our Christmas card. There were many reasons, 1. when I picked them up from Sam's club I was only given 20 envelopes. 2. I never got stamps. SO, here is what you should have gotten from us for Christmas...know we LOVE You and wish you a HAPPY New Year!

and the sad thing, I have ALWAYS wanted to do a cute beach card (from our beach to yours) FINALLY did it, and well, there they sit on my table...

Thanks for Sharing and my CHECK list

I know I said no posts this week - but I am rewarding myself with a time out to blog and read my friends blogs-
just a half hour - really I am timing myself : )

My friend Rachael sent me this article here in response to my Time Out post. I REALLY liked it and wanted to share it with the rest of you. (Thanks RH!)

And as for my organizing and cleaning check list - I have made much progress!

It isn't my most favorite thing to do - that is why I buy into those latest gadgets - but
I even was on my hands and knees scrubbing my kitchen floor. It looks SO good - I
feel as if it is really clean this time around, not just a spread the dirt, dust and grime
around the floor clean...(and now maybe Miss A wont have black knees from crawling
on my kitchen floor - ooh gross!)


and there is something so satisfying about checking off items on my list!

Kitchen -CHECK!
Pantry - CHECK!
Kitchen floor - CHECK!
Girls Bedroom -CHECK!
Sort clothes summer/fall for girls - CHECK!
Start Garage sale pile - CHECK!
Start Food Storage - CHECK!

also by organizing my pantry I realized I have a good amount of Food Storage and
we are organizing it onto shelves in our basement, that is also very satisfying!
So instead of Spring cleaning like most people do, I am end of summer cleaning...

my other goals this week
Dinning room/craft desk
Closet/new craft room
Dresser
Pack for Green Bay!

72 hour kits - I need to put it together!
I have been collecting items for it, but I need to put it together.

Happy Tuesday everyone : )
