ARE WE THERE YET!!

My new project is organization organization organization!!! This summer is hopefully going to be lots of fun, however fun with lots of kids can become a huge mess in no time at all! We will have our 4 kids + 1 on a full time basis (yes a foster) and then an extra 2 or 3 daycare kids coming and going throughout the day. Breath deep....in through the nose......out through the mouth.....ok. So I have been working up job charts and it came to me that I needed a job chart too! I get overwhelmed at times and when that happens I tend to do nothing. So I made me a job chart too. Nothing crazy, just a little something to remind me of stuff I need do to daily so I don't get to the "do nothing" stage. Then I stumbled across this cool little thing called a "home management binder". So now I am putting together one of those too! It has our emergency contact info. Our ward/neighborhood directory with close neighbors highlighted. It has a calendar. A job chart completion tracker page. A weekly menu and shopping list.....I have had fun putting this together..like how weird is that! But I like that I have everything in one place and organized. It must be linked somehow to my odd obsession with small boxes and new purses....not really sure though. I am also making a summer bucket list for us and I am sooo excited about this! I have found lots of fun stuff to do around town and also a really neat book that has crafts you can make from stuff you find in nature. Hopefully the kids will humor me and just go along with it.
