Organized… and not so organized

As usual, I have some things well in hand and others…well, they are manageable mostly. I tend to post about things that are going well. Lest you imagine that things are always perfectly in their color coded, labeled boxes around here…

Thanks, kiddos, for the pile. I do a lot of pile pick-up these days since my 2 and 3 year olds have been into gathering things. Maybe they’ll move to actually putting them away sometime. Soon, please? But these are the photos that never get posted – or taken. 😉

And more proof:

Organized: Having neatly labeled and inventoried single-serve meals in the freezer (and the pictures to prove it!)

Not so organized: “winging” it for meals these past two weeks (just the kids and me). Cereal has played a starring role several times, as have eggs – although the kids aren’t complaining!

Organized: Having this week’s parsha updated with a few other ideas (All Parsha Page).

Not so organized: Having only read the parshiot through once with the kids. No projects.

Organized: Having our countdown calendar prepared, hung and ready for crossing off

Not so organized: Not quite having the cupcakes I need ready to go – we’re leaving in 4 hours…I’m bringing chocolate cherry coke cupcakes with red vine licorice filling to a party. The batter is made, and the filling, and I boiled some coke to make frosting with. I should get on that! I did take some pictures already, though:

Recipe to come if they turn out well…

Organized: Remembering and changing our Amazon Subscribe and Save subscriptions as needed – we have enough diapers and wipes for right now, but want more fruit leathers, Kashi Pita Crisps, and dishwasher tabs. Amazon Subscribe and Save gives good to fantastic deals on many things (plus us to 20% discount with 5 items ordered, and you can get a bunch of things for under $3 if you want the discount). But it’s only a good deal if you actually use the things you’re buying. 😉

Not so organized: Still sitting here while my cupcakes are waiting to be made.

Yep, sitting here at the computer. And I should have lunch planned and ready before too long. Because everyone will be hungry, and I need something other than cupcake batter and red vine filling to feed them.

But sitting is nice.

Although quiet from my boys could be trouble (Little Miss 2 is sitting by my side coloring on her clipboard – she’s my shadow). Hmmm, it is awfully quiet. After last time, I think I can safely rule out brother-directed haircuts. But there is a lot of ground I haven’t even thought to cover, I’m sure. There always is.

And yet, here I sit.

OK, OK, I’m going! 😉
