Jillian started running fever yesterday after staying up all night the night before! So needless to say she was a bear yesterday! The best thing happened… She learned how to swallow a pill! No more liquids for us!
This morning I woke up with a head cold and horrible headache. Today has been pretty lazy as well! Brooks was climbing the walls so I decided to have a little crafty fun with the kids.
First we made homemade volcanoes, then made play doh creation, and finished the fun off with a very competitive game of slap jack! It was fun made by all!
Brooks caught some great game changing instant replay pics and Jillian made some great split decisions as to who won… Andrew or Mommy!
(did I even spell that right, because I have trouble pronouncing!)
With me being here with the kiddos by myself… I am trying to keep a handle on the house staying spotless (so it can be shown at any minute), keeping my sanity, getting everything done for school, and starting to de-clutter for the move.
If you know me at all you know that I am artsy… not organized! I didn’t say dirty, just a “little” unorganized… My sisters took all the “OCD” genes before me because they are all uber organized! ALL of them! I could tell some stories, but they wouldn’t appreciate that! 🙂
So thanks to my “slight” addiction to Pinterest… these pictures are attacking my eyes… they cover my entire “Following” screen! Organization this and Organization that. What I KNOW what is really going on is this: 1. I am completely NORMAL and people pin organization ideas in the same manner they pin everything else… just pinning it to make themselves feel more accomplished, not that they truly are organized. 2. They are all so high on the OCD scale just like (cough) others mentioned earlier and are really doing this stuff! I choose to think the first response is the correct one.
Well, obviously who am I joking, I got the MomAgenda app for my iPad and created this “Binder” that has spots for everything school and house related. MomAgenda I have actually had for a while. It is really great. It separates the calendars into each family member or you can look at all at once. It also has a spot where you can select it to send you a text message to remind you about a certain event! Which has saved me on more than one occasion! Check it out, really!
In my search (that is a strong word… search… the fact that I couldn’t escape the pins on pinterest) I kept seeing these menu planning ideas. Me, really, I cannot do that! But I did come across a pretty cool site that has monthly meals planed out and they actually look pretty tasty and different.
Now committing to this is another story… It looks good on paper, but does the effort outweigh the end result. That is yet to be determined. I will keep you posted (If you never hear about it again, don’t think anything about it!).
So where I pulled the title of the post out of my ummm… HAT… Is that if there are any of you that are “searching” for a system that works, Here’s my number… Call me… Maybe! Big emphasis on Maybe!
