defining the circles that make me whole
Getting ready for the weekPosted by Alli on September 23, 2007
I’ve decided Sunday evenings are better for writing out my schedule for the rest of the week. It helps me get out of bed on Monday morning and feel like I have a purpose. I don’t think I need to get any trophies for my organization, but I am pretty proud of myself to sticking [...]
What time is it?Posted by Alli on September 22, 2007
We finally have a clock (actually clocks) in our living room so when we are lost in our TV watching or XBox playing, we know exactly how much time we have wasted. I kid. But it is great to finally have a way to tell time in our living room. One day I think we [...]
Super Mom home safePosted by Alli on September 21, 2007
Well, I was able to somehow get our family organized, packed, and off to Florida without a hitch. I forgot the iPod, but that is something we can survive without. I was also able to live without the bottoms to my swim suit because my mom took me to an outlet store where I picked [...]
A plus dayPosted by Alli on September 11, 2007
I’m on a bit of a high from how productive I was today. My prayer was answered and the cable guy came early. As Damon predicted, he didn’t come in the house, so I really didn’t have to worry about that. But soon after he left I hit the ground running and got things done. [...]
Pray for early morning installationPosted by Alli on September 10, 2007
Around 5 p.m. I got a prerecorded call today from our cable provider. It was reminding me tomorrow is the day someone is coming out to upgrade our cable. The problem is the recording didn’t give me a window of time (a day is 24 hours) when to expect the cable guy. D said when [...]
Monday organizationPosted by Alli on
In August I started a new system to help me stay organized and on top of my house work. I have a problem with getting sucked into things (the internet, playing with Fuller, a craft project) and then being a bit out of sorts with accomplishing chores or remembering to get dinner ready. Often times [...]
Time to clear outPosted by Alli on September 5, 2007
We got home from Lake Martin yesterday afternoon. And when I got here I had the realization that my house has become a bit disheveled. I have allowed clutter and what not to pile up and instead of cleaning, purging, and organizing, I keep moving the piles around. Not really the best way to be [...]
The heat is onPosted by Alli on August 31, 2007
It is difficult to think about winter right now, especially since last week the temperatures were in the 100s, but as I look at the calendar and admit Christmas will be here before we know it, I admit I wonder when the cool weather will actually hit us. Since it is cooler now, we have [...]
New weekPosted by Alli on August 27, 2007
I took a bit of a blog break this weekend, not writing anything on any of my blogs. I just relaxed, did some freezer meal prep, and hung out. Sunday we took Fuller to the Creative Discovery Museum for a few hours. He was excellent and didn’t freak out when we had to leave. And [...]
Small steps to doPosted by Alli on August 14, 2007
I have entered that time of month where I feel a bit out of whack, not really happy but not truly sad. I find it difficult to get going and do things during this time, so I have to set goals for myself. Yesterday I did pretty well, picking out a few things that I [...]
