The Perfect Time is NOW

Holy crumb bucket, it had been TWO YEARS since my last post!! What on earth?!?! How did that even happen?? I am beginning to think the process of changing me and becoming the woman I want to be and know I can be may actually take until I die. HA! Jeepers!! I have SO much growing to do and SO much just..I don't even know how to put it into words!!
To tell you the truth, I made the decision to start blogging again on a totaly whim and I sort of tricked myself into doing it in a matter of a few minutes. WHY?! Because I need the push!! I need the motivation to keep me going!! For some reason its way too easy for me to feel blah and weighed down and just totally overwhelmed with life from so many different aspects. It's definitely busy and there is always so much to do, how can there not be with 3 VERY active boys, a hard working husband and a dog?!?! But, I find that because there is so much to do, I would rather just not tackle it. But as much as I try to convice myself that someday it will get done and next week, next month, next year it will just magically be in order and I'll be like, "Oh wow..phew!" That just doesn't seem to happen.
So what do I do?! I do this!! I blog about what I'm doing and tell on myself as way to motivate myself to get more done!! (yes, I'm REALLY mad at myself right about now!!) But I've also got myself convinced that the sacrifice will be in the beginning, the amount of time it may take to put my life in some kind of order will bo SO worth it down the road!! I do believe that once I have created a logically, doable system that keeping it up will be so much easier, and WAAAAAY less stress then the disorder, disfuncion and disorganization I'm currently living in. (that's aLOT of dis's!!)
So..if you have amazing and fantastic tips that keep you organized, BRING it!! I want to hear about it!! Or, if you are drowning in paper piles and total dissaray..start reading and the doing!! Lets go on this orgazation journey to blissful order together!!
In the meantime, here is a link to a great blog I enjoy reading!!

Procrastination, Distrations, and Life..oh my!!
Today I want to share the niftyest little thing I've done to keep some order in my house that's actually working!! This guy here:
This doomahicky has Jan-Dec and it's my tickler file!! This is to hold papers for events, appointments, engagements, whatever that are coming up in the future!! From forms for the Dr to tickets for a ball game!! It works in tandem with my calendar! So I write everything upcoming on my calendar that hangs in the kitchen. And anytime there is something that needs tickets, or forms, etc that goes with that event, I put an asterix by it and put that paper or papers into the appropriate month! Holy life-saver batman!! That way when you are walking out the door and your wonderful husband goes, "so do you have the tickets?!" You can reply, "YES I do and I know EXACTLY where they are!" Phew!! That beats the panic strickin' "Oh dear Lord, what nifty, intelligent hiding spot did I stash those darn things?!?!"
I realize this is relatively simple, but it's been such a stress reliever to me!!
Hope this helps you to move one step closer to a more organized, less stressed life!! I would love to hear any tips you may have that are working for you!!
So go make your tickler file and remember our motto, "GIT'R'DONE"!!!

Checklist for my kids!!
On Sunday evenings we will take a look at each of their chore charts and evaluate what's going well, and what chores were accomplished. I will pay them an allowance based on the chores they completed, and possibly a bonus for completing every single thing for the week! I can feel peace and order coming into my home!! Aaahhh..I will update you in a few weeks on how this is working out!!
One thing that I thought was very sweet this morning, was that my 8 year old was reading the list to his younger brother. He said, "Mommy I'm reading it to him so he knows what to do!" He beat me to it!! I loved his initiative and willingness to help out his younger brother!!
I don't claim to have all the answers, and maybe what works for me wouldn't work for you! So, if you have things set up in your home, routines that work, PLEASE share that with me!! I would love to hear your input!!
Have a fantastic day and GIT'R'DONE!!!
