Getting My $h!t Done




We moved into our house in October of 2017.  It had new carpet and fresh paint so we didn’t need to do much to it to make it ours. We have almost been there two years, I look around the house and we are NOT put together! I still have boxes in the living room and office.  We have a bookshelf that we can’t put anything in it for fear of it falling (yay plush carpet). I am in there every day and I haven’t taken care of these things.

I sit at night with my pretty planner relaxing and writing lists, but I never look at my house as to what we need to do. Well… I am changing that today! I am making a list to get these things done. I am not going to sit and wait for someone else to do it; I am going to get it done. (This is me hyping myself up) I know that when I go down in the basement my husband will follow because he will worry that I will mess up his "organization".
I would show you pictures, but I have gotten strategic in how I take photos to post for the world! Trying to create that image that I have it all together but inside I am a disorganized mess! I can create a pretty spread, but I cannot get my act together in my life... So this is my challenge to me, make better so that I am not embarrassed to post pictures with my stuff in the back ground!  

I have finally taken the time to write a list so that we have it written down; it’s on paper so we need to cross it off. I figure if I put lists and write things down in my planner, having this list on the fridge should help us to feel accomplished. I’m hoping that I will get my stuff done so that I can feel more at peace.  How can I organize my “life” if my nest is a mess! Wish me luck! I’ll let you know if anything started to happen even later this week.

Really hoping that this will start to put my mind at ease and then I can feel like I can get it done!

How I Planned During COVID

I LOVE planners, and use them for work, life and journaling Like many of you, I have been cooped up in my house since March 13 th (unlucky Friday the 13 th ) I have gone out for groceries, and I think we have picked up food once, at the beginning.  Otherwise, we have stayed in the house with little contact.  It was just this last weekend where we adventured to a “drive in movie” in the mall parking lot with my sister-in-law and her kids.   This was the first time my son finally got to play with his cousins and see someone other than his parents for over 3 months. He was delighted.  It doesn’t hurt that the movie was Sonic the Hedgehog which he has wanted to see for the whole quarantine as well!  I know that I have looked at Instagram and know that there are MANY of us that are just lost because there is nothing to plan! It hurts because we have these great planners all looking like they did “before the pen” still.  I admit it, I have many decorate...

Changing Seasons

I LOVE summer! I love the long days, going to the pool and having the energy to DO things. Once it gets cold and the air starts to change, I think for a moment that I might enjoy the fall activities, but MAN, I HATE COLD! As the days become shorter, I want to do less and less!   I WAIT for the Winter solstice! Bonus that Christmas will be in a few days, but I know that we will start getting more daylight. I have never tried light therapy, and maybe that would help but it just makes me sad. Driving to work in the dark and driving home in the dark… what could be worse! I have found that I haven’t been in the mood to plan lately. Events happen and I do write them down, but I often just want to lay on my couch and take a nap. I do try to make sure that I am not sleeping all night, so I am forcing myself to get up and do a little planning. It gives me a little motivation to do more. I have skipped my morning walks, 30 degrees in the AM is just too cold to walk, but I need to...
