Me? Unorganized?

Last night I spent time organizing Shelby’s school notebook, again. I took the much needed opportunity to get out the house alone and get her some snazzy pocket dividers that will not fall apart next week. I labeled and sorted until everything was perfect.

You see Shelby has been having organization issues lately – like losing her homework.  It’s been very frustrating for me and JAG. During our daily discussion about Shelby earlier this week JAG suggested that we lead by example. There are many areas in our house that need organization he said. WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT WILLIS?!?! My defense wall went up – I am not Unorganized! Of Course, JAG quickly dropped it by saying, well I need to clean up somethings.

Yesterday I walk into the kitchen which has become my office while working from home – I gasped. Muah? Me? Oh NO it’s true! I mean look at my kitchen table! It had been like this for days – we have just been pushing things out the way to eat. 

In case you are concerned for my poor husband – I did clean everything off the table including the fall table cloth before he returned home from work last night. We ate dinner as a family on a clean table.  I guess JAG speak the truth – I hate it when that happens.

Now on to me new find!

Mabel’s House

Oh, it’s quickly becoming a favorite – I bookmarked it – which mean something! I am slowly working my way back through and getting to know Liz. You should go check her out! Click the link above.

Have a great Friday everyone!  Tonight I am taking one step closer to getting the spirit of the season by taking the girl to see Santa. Fun Times!

What I Want in 2011.

Can you believe it is only 26 days away?

My Word for 2011 is ORGANIZED! There is a place for everything and everything has its place.

No more of this:

Nope, this isn’t from Hoarders. It is a picture taken last month with my phone to warn JAG about what he would see when he opened the garage door. Now let’s double that load on the left and build it up a little higher on the right to create what is in there today. This is all me…my life, my house, crammed into JAG’s our garage. Wait Darth Vadar on the sewing machinge case to the left proves it's not all me. 

I want this all gone by New Years! I originally said by Thanksgiving – haha.  Everything put where it should go so I don’t have to go dig for a pan or a hair brush.

Besides being able to park in the garage I want weekly menu planning. I want to make one trip to the grocery store per week or even per every two weeks. I want everything planned so we know what we are eating when. I want to cook – not just heat my food again. I said cook…not charbroil…I am working on it.

I want homework time for miss thing! I want her to do it and do it correctly…the first time.

I want Family Devotionals or even family night or even family game night. I don’t want the TV on and I don’t want JAG and I sitting on the sofa each with a laptop doing our own things.

I want an active family – not 50 million places to go, but walks and parks and stuff like that.

Ummm…what else?

Me personally…I want to read, read and bake, and sleep. I love to sleep. So much for being active.

What do you want your 2011 to look like?
