To-Do Tuesday – Keeping My Priorities Straight

in Getting Organized

I did much better this week by just focusing on the main things that need to happen every day. I finally saw our new dentist and am SOOOOOO much happier with them than our previous place. I was also pleased to hear that he will be happy to continue referring Michael to the pediatric dentist with special needs experience. He just wants to meet Michael and then will give us the form.

I also finally took the time to call the water company about why our bill has been increasing, and the representative I spoke to said that usually that means a toilet is running. She suggested I use food coloring in the tank to check in (by not flushing and waiting to see if the color gets into the bowl). Sure enough, the toilet in the basement, which we hardly ever use, was the culprit. Boy, I sure wish I had taken care of that a month ago!!

So for this week, I am going to just commit to the basics again and handle whatever else pops up as it comes.

Daily Priorities

  • Follow morning routine each day.
  • Declutter something every day.
  • Stay on top of my afternoon/evening routines so dinner is done and cleaned up in time to get Michael in bed by 8:30.
  • Spend some time decompressing (i.e. blogging or reading) once Michael is asleep.
  • Go to bed at a decent hour myself so I am not too tired the next day.

How is your week looking?

To-Do Tuesday was started by Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting for the purpose of attacking our to-do lists each week, blogging about our lists and what we’ve got going on, and sharing it with each other to help keep each other accountable.

We need to find a dentist here, too. We're over due, actually :/

I tell ya, I may not be fully back on Flylady, but I've adapted her stuff, along with your declutter one thing a day attitude, and the house is looking SO much better, and I'm not so behind anymore, thank you!

Can't wait to get started on new house projects! Woohoo!

How'd you do this week? This week, for me, is house projects. This house WILL get done, period.

I did okay this week – doing better with Michael's schedule and bedtime, which is good for everybody!

Good luck with the house stuff; I have to admit my Christmas tree is still up. :-0
