Posting Again....But this time from Crazy Adventures in Parenting

Okay,

So I've come across this blog, Crazy Adventures in Parenting, and I love this thing she does called To-Do Tuesday, where you post your to-do list for the week and blog about it...she must be in my mind..hence my mom agenda! I LOVE IT...you can post any time of the week but link to on Tuesdays.

emember, with "To-Do Tuesday", we're 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. Everyone should come back here to link up in the MckLinky as the central "To-Do Tuesday Hub" so we can visit who's participating and offer encouragement to each other throughout the week. Don't forget to add the "To-Do Tuesday" button to your post, linking back to this post!

Here's my to do list for this week:

Organize the junk on my dining room table (in progress)

Do my budget
Clean my diploma frame (but..aparently ShamWow's aren't that "Wow" on glass...gotta start saving my newspapers again)

New Name. New Face!

I have decided to rename my blog and Twitter account. After months of blogging and tweeting aimlessly with no specific focus, just my thoughts, I've decided to change the names and let you see me and my life experiences as a young mom through a little bit of a smaller funnel.

I'm really excited, but I need your help. Here's what I need you to do:

Reccommend some cool blog page designers...FREE of course... I need something really cute, maybe polka dots, stripes, who knows!

Also, this is most important! help me pick out my new blog and Twitter name... If I don't follow you on either, please leave your info for each (after following me of course) and I'll be sure to return the favor!

Just leave a reply with the name you like.

Hallow-Read Party

Yes, I know it's been a while, but I plan on getting back on my grind so just hold tight..... I've been rethinking a lot of things and since my head is always all over the place, I have to figure out some stuff before I can bring you the best of me and my thoughts.

Anyway, I'm thinking about hosting a "Hallow-Read" Party for the kids and having them each bring their favorite scary book and then setting up different stations and giving out candy once the book is over and topping the evening off with a Scooby Doo Halloween episode.

Thoughts?

Also, thought this was a cool alternative to sugary sweets for treats from iVillage.com Healthy Halloween Treats Kids will Love

Update

Okay....so,.... yet again, it's been a while for me. I've had lots going on. So I'll share the Highs, Mids, and Lows to get everyone up to speed.

Highs:

• Josiah starts school tomorrow...YAY!!! Last year as a preschooler, bittersweet
• I've been adamantly keeping up with my budget and sticking to it (best I can)
• I opened a savings account with an automatic withdrawl from my check!
• I got a raise at work and my position has been extended until December 31, 2009
• Hopefully I'll be making some extra money at this Saturday's Yardsale for my church...lots to give a way...excited for all my impending free space!
• Got a BJ's membership!

Mids: So even tho things have been well, I've still been struggling with a few things that I can't seem to work out

I've gained weight and don't have time to (nor do I feel like) working out (I hate working out at home... I think it's dreadful)

I've started trying to figure out what exactly I find difficult about finishing things I start, staying on task, setting goals and working towards them, not just saying I will (for instance, I was so excited about blogging and slowly....trailed off....)

My relationship is in a hot and cold phase

I would like to start taking good care of my mind, body, skin, hair and nails but I don't know where to begin

Lows:

Wondering if things happen to me bc I say they will and vice versa (I hate thinking)

Thinking about seeing a therapist twice a month

I'm lazy. Yes, I said it. LAZY. Well, that's I'm pretty much in a hot and cold phase right now.... Why doesn't 30 just come already and I know what I'm doing what myself and my life!!!!

Caught between being a young woman and finding myself, being a mom and doing all the things that come a long with that, and finding out where God wants me.. Do I have to choose what to focus on because I feel (a lot of times) like I do!!!!

BIG summer CLEAN!

Okay...it's been a WHILE since my last post, but I've been busy "shedding weight," unfortunately between cleaning my house and a trip to the beach, my digi cam has gone missing in action! So I can't share all my wonderful progress with you...visually, but you can take my word for it. While I've been gone, I've managed to:

Clean my son's room from top to bottom...literally which yeilded three 15 gallon bags of toys and one 15 gallon bag of clothes

Clean the bathroom closet and under the sink filling half of a 15 gallon bag with trash and a walmart bag with items for my church yardsale

The downstairs closet which included finally putting all my holiday decorations in the shed and going through ALL four boxes of sorority crafts I have from Phi Sigma Sigma (somebody better buy this stuff, too!)

And finally..........my shed, where I went through the other two bags of crafts, and stored the other half of yard sale donations...(the remaining half are piled...NEATLY in my dining room)

I also went through all 500 pictures I had boxes and threw away...(tear) doubles....messed up prints and old pictures of people I barely knew in the first place (the really nice girl I meant at Panera once)....

All together from the kitchen, pictures, living room dining room, 4 closets, the shed and the bathroom I've shed.............da da da da.........................

about 120 gallons of trash

45 gallons of clothing

30 gallons of crafts

45 gallons of clothing

and a couple misc. bags and boxes of stuff......

FEELS GOOD!!!!!!

New Additions

In my quest to spend less, I just got CVS and Rite Aid reward cards. I didn't know all that they had to offer or save until I visited Frugal and Fabulous and saw all the great deals she gets with them! Hope they come in use.
