Last week started off with project night. It was really good, I got rid of one box of random stuff. It was mostly Tyler's school art projects, but I went through them all and organized the ones I wanted to keep. I didn't finish Alex's baby book at project night, but I did finish it during the week. Woo Hoo I am done! Later in the week I pulled out all my DI stuff and got it ready to go, but I didn't put it in my car. The next day I drove right by DI and was so sad I forgot my stuff. So it's still in my bedroom, but soon to be in my car. I didn't clean my storage buckets because I need to go buy lids for them, but I did do something else. I bought a fire/water proof box for all my important documents. My kids birth certificates, passports, ss cards, all that stuff was in a pile on a book shelf and other places. A few times we had to search to find things and it was driving me crazy. I didn't want to get a regular plastic box because I wanted to make sure these things would survive in an emergency situation. So I got a box and everything Is neatly put away. I also didn't get paint samples, oh why is this so hard.
I know I said my storage room would be my next project, but I've changed my mind. I'm really embarrassed by this, but I am failing at meal planning. I look at the adds every week and I still don't know what to make. So I've decided to try something new. I'm going to try this:

I think this will help me in a few areas. first is meal planning, second is organizing my recipes because they are a mess, and third is building my 3 month food storage. I'm not going to set a specific goal because I don't know how long it will take me, I just want to get started.
My next craft project is a quilt. Everyone told me not to but I did it anyways. I told my friend Bobbie I'd make her a quilt of the SLC temple. I want to get this done as soon as possible. So this week I want to get all the paper piecing printed out.
Wish me luck.

We have all our documents in one place, but it's not secure. So I need to get a fire/water proof box as well.
ReplyDeleteI've got a growing pile of items to go to DI. I had the opportunity to drop off items every two weeks but always forgot to put it in the car.
Organizing takes time. From Wendy's DVD, it seems that it can take up to a year to get organized, and begin maintaining. Every little bit helps, so I think you are making progress.
Good luck with the quilt.
Last week:
I assembled one stamp set
Barely scratched the surface on my summer lesson plans, but at least I got started.
I made a bunch of cards.
I scanned a bunch of papers so I could do DJ's birth announcement. I came up with one draft. It's cute for a picture of DJ but doesn't have a space to put the birth information
I finished adding all the photos to the ward website.
This week:
1. Create flyers about the Community Blog for the Community BBQ on the 5th
2. Finish the summer lesson plans
3. Get things ready for the baby, and myself.
4. Pack my bag for the hospital
5. DJ birth announcement
