I've noticed that I've been giving myself until the next Friday to get things done, and I usually do it Thursday night. Oh well, I'm getting stuff done. I finished my 3 pages for Alex's baby book, there is still a lot left but I'll get there.
I worked on my food storage chart and now I just have to buy food. I plan on buying things when they go on sale so I don't know if I can plan ahead and challenge myself with this. So I think instead of having a "food storage" goal I will change it to a "family preparedness" goal. Reading Michelle Denna's blog made me realize there is a lot more than food storage needs to be prepared.
I made a box for mail. This was more complicated than I thought. Do I want a small box so it can't get too full or do I want a big box since not all mail is letter size? I decided to use a magazine box we had and try that before I buy something. It's nice because I like to keep the weekly food adds and I could put mail and adds in the box, but then the small mail gets lost in it. I'll try this out for a little longer and decide if it is working.
Changing my habits is really hard. Meal planning went better this week, but waking up did not. I think I should have made going to bed on time a goal before waking up on time. Other than waking up everything else in the morning went well. I made breakfast (not everyday, but I don't think I want to everyday), got dressed, washed clothes, and put away some dishes. I wasn't perfect but I'm happy.
So this next week my in-laws are coming. I have no idea what is going on so I don't want to plan anything and then not have time. I know it's only 2 weeks in but I'm giving myself a break. I will still work on my morning routine because Tyler still has school, and I'll try going to bed at a reasonable hour, but that is it. Until next week.

You've been doing well. And it's hard to plan things when family is in town. You want to spend time with them, not organizing. Besides you still have a goal to work on during that time.
ReplyDeleteWhat does your food storage chart look like? How did you make it?
I finished another bin. It was after the due date I had set for myself but it's done. Woo hoo! But I haven't worked on Kai's binder, and I'm behind on both boy's current binder.
Hope you enjoyed your dinner at Applebee's!! :)
