Organize with Me

03/25/2023

It’s the weekend! This is usually when I play catch up on all the stuff I missed during the week and get stuff prepped for the coming week. I have not done a good job with meal prep the last few weeks so I am gonna try to get on the ball with that. My husband is going on a trip and it’s track season so even more reason to get stuff organized to make things easier.

Meal Prep
Grocery Shopping
Go Over Budget
Homeschool Crafts for Science
Catch up on small tasks
Decorate upstairs bathroom

What are your goals for this weekend?

I am so super excited about what I accomplished today. I started out with putting the vinyl decor up in my hallway and then decided to work on my laundry room. I was only gonna do a few things but then I decided to do it all. I still need to do some staining but I’ll get around to that.

Do you remember my laundry baskets in a line on the floor in the laundry room? Well, I went on a search for a cubby that would hold my laundry baskets cuz I know there are some out there. Guess what?! There are no cubbies that will hold the little round baskets SOOOO, I decided to design my own. I measured everything and drew up a design that would work. I sent a picture of it to my awesome son-in-law and asked him if he could help me cut the wood so I could build it. I went to see him for my birthday weekend and he helped me cut it and modify the design a little so we would only have to use screws and not have to buy brackets. I LOVE it! I’m gonna paint it with the same gray paint on the walls and then I have a pretty eggplant colored brocade fabric that I’ll probably make a fold over cover for the front so you can’t see the baskets. It’s exactly what I hoped it would be and it has enough width on top that I can put some decor or use it to stack my laundry as I fold it or whatever else I want. If I were to make another or have to fix this ever, I would decide to use 3/4” wood to give a little more room for screws but other than that, it turned out just like I hoped.

I got all the decor hung in my laundry room too. I got my Command Central updated. I have a big blank spot above my cabinets that I am debating on finding another Japanese word to put up there.

I’m just super pleased that I got it all done. I’ve got some of the decor prepped to go up in my laundry room too so if we don’t end up having a track meet tomorrow due to the weather then I might work on my bathroom tomorrow.

Well, today was way busier than I expected. I got up at 5am and got my workout in. I got two loads of laundry done before I left to take mg Uncle to his doctor appts which took about 2.5 hours. I got home in time to get dinner prepped so my daughter could easily make dinner. I loaded everything into my van and left the house by 1pm go to the track meet. I got home a little but after 10pm. Needless to say, I didn’t get much done and I’m exhausted but I still got some important things done and I got in over 5 miles of walking at the track meet so two good workouts in today. Tomorrow is a new day and I’ll work on my lists some more.

Today starts track season - my favorite time of the year! AND my busiest time of the year. While adding track meets to my calendar last night, I realized that between JH & HS meets, I have 4 meets a week some weeks. This only lasts about 6 weeks out of my whole year and I live it up and go cheer for my kids and everyone else’s kids! It truly is my favorite season!

This also makes for a crazy busy day/week. I have to be on my game if I want to get things done. I definitely won’t get everything done but if I want to get the most accomplished each day, I have to rely on my schedules. I’m gonna see if I can get some stuff caught up from Sunday this morning if possible. I have doctor appts this morning and the track bus leaves at 1:30pm.

Here’s to an awesome track season!

IT’S DONE! IT’S FINALLY DONE!!!!

I started this project at the very end of December and it was supposed to be all done the first week of January. Well here we are at almost the end of March but it’s done. I still need to fix that paint spot on the wall and I have come up with one more Japanese word (Family) that I want to put at the top of my scrabble wall but other than that, the room is done. I got all the extra stuff out of the room (at least for today 😉) and everything is how I planned it! I love it!

The full room pictures are at the very end.

Okay, time to get back on track! I had a blast this weekend celebrating my 50th birthday in Springfield with all my girls. Gonna try to play a little catch up on the earlier days from this week and get stuff done from mh January Project while also working on my decluttering of another room for March.

I decided to put all my tasks in different categories on my Notes App. Most of these are also in my planner but I like seeing them on my phone as well when I am not near my planner.

Well, today was not very productive but considering I went to the gym this morning, worked 3 hours, did school with my girls, went to my daughter’s quiz bowl match and ended my evening with a training meeting for church, all in all, it was a good day even if I only got a few things on my list done.

Sneak peek at my what my picture wall will look like. Eternal and power will be swapped and the one you can’t read because of the tree says moon. I also need to touch up that white spot. I messed up the paint when I moved my son’s picture over. I’m so excited to put this up! (you gotta click on it to see the whole picture)

How’s everyone’s day going so far today? I went to the gym early this morning and worked almost 3 hours after that. While I was at work, I was able to get my vinyl for my wall ordered which I am super excited about. I get to w**d and tape it tomorrow while I’m at work so I can bring it home and put it up. Can’t wait to show you!

Here’s my goals for today! What are you hoping to get done?

03/09/2023

Alright!!! I feel good about today! Still didn’t get everything that I was hoping to but it was a huge success! My list is gonna be so much smaller tomorrow.

How did your day go?

Check in from yesterday and goals for today.

Well, I slacked yesterday and just was not motivated once I got home from work. I did school with the kids but not much around the house.

Here’s to a new day and trying harder today.
