Tackle It Tuesday (Sitting Routines & a Few Other Loose Ends)
Today officially starts the beginning of my school routine. I realize that school started a couple of weeks ago BUT it took me that long to get the house back in order! Yesterday while driving to Sedalia, I thought about what I wanted to get accomplished this school year and I realized that I wasn't going to get these goals accomplished without sitting a daily routine for the school year! This morning during my quiet time, I developed my daily routine:
Monday/Wednesday/Friday:
5:45-6:00 am-Wake, shower & dress
6:30 am-Quiet Time
7:15-7:30 am-Wake the girls (Boys get up around 6:15 & are on the bus by 6:40 am)
7:30-8:30 am-While the girls are getting ready for school, empty dishwasher, put a load of laundry in, make beds, check email.
8:30 am -10:00 am-Head to gym-work out.
10:15 am-10:30 am-Take quick shower & dress for the day.
10:30 am to 12:00 pm-Work (CMSL)
12:00 pm to 1:00 pm-Eat lunch/Take break.
1:00 pm-4:00 pm-Housework, CMSL (if need), start dinner plans, etc.
4:00 pm-Start evening routine (recheck calendar) Every other Wednesday, work at the Academy from 4:00 to 8:00 pm.
5:00 pm-Start Dinner
7:00 pm-TV off/Homework time with kids. Every other Wednesday, attend Community Live @ Church.
Tuesday and Thursday: On Tuesday morning, the morning routine will be the same as M/W/F. At 12:30, I will be attending the Tuesday Bible study group. We will be studying a book by Joyce Meyer call "Battlefield of the Mind." The study will continue until November 13.
On Tuesday after the study, I will be picking up the girls and taking them to dance. They have dance from 4:30 to 8:15 pm. The evening routine will be the same as my M/W/F unless Connor has a soccer game.
On Thursday mornings, I will be attending, Take 2. A bible study at my church. Not sure what I'm taking yet. Our first meeting is this Thursday. Bible study is from 9:15 am to 11:15 am. After Bible study, a group of us usually go out for lunch. I really cherish this time, it's a great time for me to reconnect with a group of women & talk!
Thursday afternoon: We usually are done by 1:00 pm. I'm planning on using this afternoon to run errands-grocery store, etc.
On Thursday's, the girls have dance from 4:30 until 7:30 pm and I work the front desk on Thursday's as well.
With my daily routines in mind, here are my evening dinner plans:
Monday-Cook.
Tuesday-Cook.
Wednesday-Quick & easy meal for Community Live night & crockpot meal for work night.
Thursday-Crockpot dinner.
Friday-Family fun night-eat out, pizza, etc.

What are we having this week?
Monday-done
Tuesday-We will be eating dinner early (around 4 pm). Connor has a game in Smithton at 7:30 pm & we will be leaving town around 5:00 pm. We are having Garlicky Spaghetti & Chicken Tenders. I'm sure that Connor will eat again after his game. The rest of the family can eat when they get home.
Wednesday-Chili Pork Chops, Steamed Veggies & Salad.
Thursday-Something in the crockpot-not sure yet.
Friday-We will be eating out, if Connor plays on Friday evening in Smithton.
Last tackle it project....tying up loose ends or things that I need to do today (or this week will work too!) still!
1. Finish entering MYSA registrations. Mail them out this evening.
2. Get dance bags ready for girls.
3. Finish cleaning girls room.
4. Finish packing up garage sale items in garage.
5. Call library to make donation of garage sale books.
6. Set up meeting to get tapes transferred to CDs.
7. Freezer Chick meals done.
8. AFA blog.
Okay...I think I'm done! What are you tackling?

Monday Menu Planning (Week of 7-30-07)
I'm really going to be depending on my Freezer Chicks this week because I am working on soccer schedules & need to have them all completed by Friday. I am the League Commissioner for the Central Missouri Soccer League and one of my jobs is to provide a game schedule for all of the teams that register within the league. This season I have 75 plus team, they each play 10 games per season. That means I have over 300 games to schedule at 4 different venues! So, no cooking for this chick....just heat & serve!
Monday: Corn Dogs, Mac & Cheese & Green Beans
Tuesday: Chicken Night-clean out the frig of Chicken meals-Cranberry Chicken, Margarita Chicken & Sticky Chicken
Wednesday: Tuna Tortellini Gratin & Peas
Thursday: T-Bone Steaks on the Grill, Potatoes, Carrots & Salad
Friday: Out to Eat...will need it!

Slacker off Duty! Dreaming of Spring...
Greetings fellow bloggers!
I have taken a little break (not by choice) in blogging and haven't blogged in a week and a half except to blog on Thursday why I haven't been blogging!
Blogging keeps me accountable for getting things done around my house, with my job, etc. I really enjoy the Tackle it Tuesdays, the Works For Me Wednesdays and the Thursday Thirteens. I am able to get many things accomplished because I blog about them and show my before and after pictures. I love crossing things off my to do list on my blog because not only am I seeing my progress but my blogging friends are too and you are encouraging me along the way!
It's a new month and I am still working on my goals for the New Year. I made very little progress during the month of January, it might be because of the ice storm, snow and the freezing cold weather that depresses me and I'm just not motivated to get going on those goals. So.....with one month of winter behind us....one month closer to spring....I need to get a move on my goals and to do list. What are they you ask? I'm glad you asked....my accountability blogging friends....I'm going to start the first full week of February with what I need to get done this week....
- Workout.
Clean off desk.Menu plan for this week. Post on Monday.- Get Recital packet information from Sherry....get packets out this week!!!
- Get caught up on laundry. Put laundry away.
- Straight each room in the house.
- Work on brackets for CMSL.
- Read first 2 chapters by Tuesday for Bible Study. (Tuesday's Bible Study)
- Read for Thursday's Bible Study.
- Mop floor in kitchen.
- Mop floor in bathroom.
- Run sweeper through out house.
- Clean out car....unload car from dance competition.
Hotel information ready for Booster meeting on Tuesday evening.- Check on iPod status for the girls' shuffles.
- Meet with Mindi.
Well...this should give me a good start. Check back to see if I get everything crossed off this week!
