Tackle It Tuesday

Posted in Homemaking

I’m tackling a doctor’s appt that I don’t really want to go to. I would have cancelled, but I’ve tried to get this appt for several years (yes, you read that right, years). Anyway, I’m praying that the timing will work out right. I have to drop Munchkin off at VBS at 9:00 and my appt is at 9:30. I have to be back to pick her up by noon. So, if they’re really backed up, I may be walking out of the appt. Like I said, I’m praying that the timing works out right…. I also need to tackle…

Tackle It Tuesday: Planning

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

Today is a day for planning. We did a little bit of running around picking up the school supplies that were on sale. I love this time of year when you can get great deals on all sorts of school goodies. Munchkin is rather excited about the new supplies. Once we arrived home, I got to work on the calendar and schedule. I needed to see exactly what we had on the schedule for the next few months. I’m trying to plan out munchkin’s schedule.

Tackle It Tuesday

Posted in Family, Homemaking, and Thoughts

Lots of routine things to get done this week… 1) I need to get the laundry tackled. It’s amazing how missing one normal laundry day can create such a craziness in trying to get caught up again. Yikes! 2) Get the backyard mowed (if it doesn’t rain). I need to get this done so D doesn’t feel like he needs to do it. 3) Finish getting the dishes done. D will help out in this area too, but he has other things that he needs to focus on before he leaves. 4) Bake more bread and goodies for D. I…
