Mid-Week Check In

1. Balance the June, 2010 bank statements. DONE! WooHoo!!

2. Fling 7 things from my house each and every day. So far, so good. I've started a yard sale box and already called ARC for a pickup next Monday.

3. Start decluttering and cleaning in dd9's room. Spent a little time in there today. We got the floor mostly cleared and cleaned off her desk and all the desk drawers. She did a great job separating items for the trash, the donation pile and the yard sale box. We also pitched lots of trash. Even though we still need to tackle the closet, bookshelf, dresser and under the bed it's already looking better in there!!!

4. Scrapbook one layout. Not yet....but the week is not over yet. :)

5. Make a good list of projects that need to be completed at work and set some deadlines.  Need to work on this....so far this week I've only had time to deal with the urgent instead of plan for the upcoming. Maybe tomorrow???

Still haven't found it

Yes...I haven't blogged in a year, and I'm STILL looking for that elusive life balance that will help me get it ALL done.

I have just returned from a week of vacation, and am energized more than ever to get my house, my work, my finances, and my soul back in order. So I'm starting here with my goals for this week.

Just this week I will:

1. Balance the June, 2010 bank statements. Don't laugh...I really am that far behind. And all of 2010 needs to be complete before we can file our tax return which is on extension.

2. Fling 7 things from my house each and every day. Whether it goes to the trash or gets donated, I'm motivated to rediscover the space I know is lurking amongst all the clutter.

3. Start decluttering and cleaning in dd9's room. I would love for both kids to be able to start the school year that is quickly approaching with neat and decluttered rooms. I think it will help them think better, study better, and sleep better if their surroundings are more "peaceful".

4. Scrapbook one layout. This is the part where I find balance for me! Not enough time spent doing things that I love.

5. Make a good list of projects that need to be completed at work and set some deadlines. It's always hard coming back from vacation. I can hardly remember what was on the burner when I left. So I think a good list of all upcoming projects is exactly where I need to start.

I'll check back soon with a progress report!!!
