Mission: Staying Calm  

Tuesday, April 1, 2008

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

So, most of you already know that I am leaving tomorrow, before dawn. But, what you didn't know is that I am so not ready!

My tackle today will be trying to decide what to wear while I'm gone, packing (both myself and my youngest son), making sure eveything is ready for my hubby's three days with all the kiddos (sans Mommy), and trying to calm my nerves.

You see, I've never flown by myself before, let alone all the way across the entire country, with layovers! I am a bit nervous, to say the least.

I know, you can laugh... It's okay. I'm a big girl (athough you couldn't tell!).

Oh, and did I mention that if I don't go to bed by 8pm tonight, I might as well NOT go to bed? (I have to be up and ready by 3:45 am!)

Mission: Mail

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

Being gone for almost an entire week meant lots of mail to go through... Bills, letters, bills, ads, bills, fun packages, magazines, bills. After a trek to the post office only to discover that it was all to be delivered, I decided to tackle it!

Mission: Coat Closet  

Tuesday, February 19, 2008

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

This week I decided needed to clean out the coat closet. Along with a number of other items, we keep all of the kiddos shoes in this large space. They usually end up all over the place, making it very difficult to find pairs.

I had purchased these plastic bins to try to keep things organized, but they don't work too well, mostly due to operator error. This is what it ends up looking like....

It looks pretty good after it's organized! Ah well... Maybe one day it will stay clean for more than a little while!

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

I'm not going to to tackle much around the house, but I have loads of stuff to tackle today:
  • If you have emailed me for any reason, and have not yet heard from me, rest assured that you will some time today.
  • My Bloggy Giveaway prizes need to be mailed.
  • My Ben's birthday party is this weekend, so I will be out and about gathering items for his celebration... cake toppings, paper goods, fixings for Muddy Buddies, and the like.
  • There are still a few Christmas gifts that need to be hand-delivered. That WILL happen today.
  • A trip to the health food store and Trader Joe's is in order, at some point.
  • And, all of this will take place AFTER our lessons and chores, of course.
Yes, LIFE will be tackled today!

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

I've been trying to tackle all of those wonderful bloggy giveaways everyone seems to be hosting, but I still had Christmas shtuff in the entry way of my bedroom, even after five weeks. Whaaaat!?!? I've been a little busy!

I finally decided to My hubby asked me, ever so kindly, if I could package up the last of my Christmas gifts and mail them (horrible, I know!), then clean up that mess.

What a mess it was....

Mission: Laundry Room  

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

I mentioned before that I am on a mission to get stuff in my house organized. So far, I think I'm doin' pretty good.

Yesterday I decided to tackle my laundry room. This was a room that had been neglected for quite some time, and what a mess it was! I'm sure you know what I mean... Laundry everywhere, empty detergent containers on the counter, garbage on the floor, soap scum on the washer - Need I go on?

I didn't snap shots of what it looked like before, but do you want to see what my laundry room looks like now?

I am so excited to finally be able to walk in to the room without fearing for my life!!
