Tackle it Tuesday - Getting Real...

Okay, so I was a little over-zealous last week thinking that I'd be able to spend 15-20 minutes each day organizing something. There are days when I barely have a chance to brush my teeth so what was I thinking? Still, I am making a little bit of progress. I cleaned out the "junk drawer" and the bread box. There is actual bread in there right now instead of random papers, junk mail, dress-up jewelry and Memory game cards, etc... How long will this last? I do not know. It's just so easy to tuck stuff away really quick and pretend it's not there.

I am proud to say that I did follow through with my "Tackle" teaser from last week...

That was before...

And this is after..

OH YEAH! Unfortunately, that took a lot longer than 15-20 minutes. (I'll spare you the details except to say, it's better to attempt bigger projects like that when your kids are asleep.)

As for next week, the thing that I would LOVE to tackle most is this....

I really liked the movie, and I heard the book was 1000 times better. I daydream about lying in a lounge chair in the sun or sitting at Panera with one of those yummy caramel brownies and finishing this book. (I'm only on p.100 & I started 3 weeks ago!) I know there are moms out there who are reading some good stuff. I want to be one of those moms! I'm going to see how many pages I can tackle for next week (and I'll still do some organizing too. You should see my dining room. Yikes!)
