Confession Time

Ok, so I have to confess,  I spent too much time online this morning and didn't get all of my list completed.  I didn't get down into the basement today and my pile of paperwork was untouched.  Oh well, its a work in progress and I'm a work in progress.  My checklist for Saturday and Sunday are light so I can pick up what I don't get done then or just wait until next week.  The paperwork is a weekly activity and the basement is ongoing.

So are you ready for tomorrow?  I'm kinda excited for tomorrow, because each Tuesday is organization day for a new room or closet and tomorrow is the laundry room.  I have been walking through this room for awhile now thinking "I have to get this picked up and better organized."  So tomorrow is the day!  I will try to post pictures tomorrow evening.

I had a comment about the checklist being a bit overwhelming.  Please don't let it be.  Make quick work of it and don't let other things that need to be cleaned get you sidetracked.  Like I said before, my laundry room has been calling to me for awhile now but I knew the time was coming that it would be addressed and so I just kept walking.  It takes me about 30 minutes to all of the items on the Morning Checklist, bathrooms and sweep/vacuuming and about that for the Evening Checklist depending on how much kitchen clean-up is needed after dinner.  I do it well but I do it fast and then I enjoy a clean kitchen, made beds, a picked-up living room and my favorite, shiney floors.  Also, give yourself a break, just like I did today.  If it doesn't get done one day it can be done another sometime during the week or whenever it rolls around again.  Remember a clean and organized home is and ongoing project not one with a deadline.

So here is tomorrow's checklist:

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

Kickin' Back

2020 kicked my butt.  But, now I'm ready to kick back.   A Little History In 2014 after being a stay-at-home wife & mother for 13 years I decided to go back to work part-time as a substitute teacher. The truth is, the first year I didn't really enjoy the job, so I was very particular about when and where I subbed, and keeping up with my home was easy.  The next year, I ended up taking a few longer-term positions and even more importantly getting called back to sub for the same teachers.  I got to know the students and they got to know me and I realized I was ready to go back to teaching full time.  So I applied, was offered a position, accepted, and began teaching again in the fall of 2016.   The students were challenging and I had to work hard to stay ahead.  I went in early and stayed late.  I worked at home a lot.  But, I loved my job.  At home, I  managed to get not let the dishes or laundry get too out of hand and...
