Week 5 - part two (posted a day late)

 February 1 - 

  Oh how I had big plans for today in terms of decluttering. None, and I mean none, of it happened today. The boys had a dentist appointment and the youngest wanted to take the rest of the day off school. I obliged, but in doing so, I kind of shot myself in the foot. Not because he was any kind of problem, but because he was given 30 minutes of screen time on his tablet and he found a game he was very interested in. He brought his tablet into the living room to ask if he could download the game. I played the demo and didn’t see any harm in the game. Well, in terms of a time suck, I was wrong. I decided to download it too and we are now “competing” against one another to see who can get to a higher level and get more of the “money” in the game. I’ve done NOTHING productive all day. *face palm*


February 2 - 

 Back to work! Going to work every other day this week has been weird. I feel almost like I just get started and I stop only to start up again. I did not do any decluttering today, again. I had such high hopes for my success this month and I’m not doing a great job of showing up for myself. Tomorrow I will be loading up the car and driving the current donations to the local charity. Perhaps that will help get me jump started. I do need to make pies for the band auction on Sunday and also go to karaoke with some friends, so I won’t be able to focus too much, perhaps Sunday before and after the pie auction I will have some luck.


February 3 - 

 Well, today didn’t go as planned. I did get pies made for the Pie Auction, but that’s about it. Oh! I did get some more donation stuff gathered in one space, now I just need to get the things out of the door and into their respective locations. 

 I wasn’t able to read today. :( However, I did go spend some time with my friends and sister. We met up at a distillery and sang karaoke. It was a lot of fun!

Week 6

  February 4 -   I didn’t go to sleep until around 4 am. I really shouldn’t have had a soda so late in the day on Saturday, especially since I’ve been cutting back so much. Lesson learned!   I was looking forward to spending some quality time with the book I’m reading, but life got in the way and I was needed in other places. Oh well. I did get to read a little and I think that the reason life keeps pulling me away from the book is because once I really get into it, I won’t want to put it down.  No decluttering done today, unless you count getting the three pies out of the house and to the pie auction! LOL! February 5 -   Back to work. I’m still a little tired from the weekend, so no decluttering today. I really need to find some focus to get this task completed.  I think I’ll go to bed and read some tonight and see if I can fall asleep earlier than usual. February 6 -   Today is my oldest son’s birthday. He is now considered a man,...

Week 20 - The last week

Image
May 12 -  The boys and my sister treated me to a wonderful day today. I am so thankful for all 3 of them! Due to the nature of the “holiday” I didn’t do any work around the house. However, I’ve noticed some things I can do outside tomorrow, weather permitting. May 13 -  As my lawn guy hasn’t been by to mow, I took it upon myself to charge up the battery for my weed eater and start hacking away at the front yard. With all the rain the past few weeks, I understand that those working in lawn care are behind schedule, however, the city I live in has these stupid, arbitrary rules about the length of grass and how citizens in this fine town will be penalized when their lawn doesn’t fit within those certain parameters. I despise those kinds of rules, so I will be plotting ways to make my yard either invisible to those in “power” OR to plant a BUNCH of flowers (hopefully mostly native) so they can grow freely and the rules won’t apply.  I’ve seen more than one house in this town ...

Week 19 - Oh look, even more lasts

Image
May 5th -  Well, the rain had plans for us this week. Key Club was supposed to do sidewalk chalk for Teacher Appreciation Week, but due to the rain (at least it wasn’t during prom) the students made posters instead. While students made posters, I took down photo booth decorations and listened to them talk about prom. It seems like everyone had a good time. After hours of that I returned home to veg out. So, no home improvement projects today. May 6th -  The first full day of Teacher Appreciation Week. There’s a lot to organize this week, so I don’t foresee much happening at home. Between planning for the week and doing a final check (or two) on the senior video, I’m pretty tired just thinking about it; and it's only Monday.  May 7th -  Today members of Key Club had a catered meal provided for the teachers. The students cleared plates, filled glasses with drinks, and did the bulk of setup and clean up. Talk about a gift! The meal was a huge success and the students we...
