Organizing 101/ April - Living Room

[maria34a]

Ok, my living room is a disaster, so maybe this will be good incentive to actually get it back to normal???? I hope so!!!! It is driving me crazy!!!! It has become the dumping ground for everything, we can barely sit down to watch tv!!! It's awful! Anyway, today's projects are:

Get up and make Dinner stuff for BF to take to work - Done
Shower and go to work - Done course I was late to work!!!
Make spreadsheet for Soccer Parents for Game day snacks!
After work is Soccer Practice for little one!!! Whoo! Hoo!

I would like to join in on the fun. Do I just post my goals and then come back and update what I accomplished.

I really need some extra motivation. My house is not looking so great lately.

Looking forward to chatting and getting organized!!

Yep, we are doing one room a month, the basement is taking 2 though March and April. You can join at any time, skip a room whatever. We tend to post out daily chores here, keeps us honest. KWIM!

Hope this helps!

I was able to do everything but the scrapbooking - we spent about 2 hours trying to download the drivers for my craftrobo pro onto the computer without success since we hadn't found the disk and needed to reload. Then as I turned off the computer the disk was just there so I will be reloading it today.

Wednesday's list
1. Grade papers
2. Exercise
3. Load Robo Master program onto new computer
4. Complete my pages that were waiting on the computer for journalling or a little embellishment
5. Get my diecuts done for Spring swap

Have a great day everyone
