Managing

This may seem like stating the obvious, but I was just realizing how much more responsible parenting has made me. I am so much better at balancing my checkbook, and keeping track of finances. I am way better at being mindful to try and get the dinner dishes cleaned every night (I said "better"...not 100% successful ;)). I am more keenly aware of how many food groups are involved in the meals I'm eating (that started in the 1st Trimester). I am far more organized at work....I'm hoping this soon transfers over to the home office. I am also better at meal planning so that we don't waste fresh food.

I have great aspirations for heading into this task of moving with incredible organization. I am going to start a family binder to keep a family calendar, to organize bills to pay, and wedding invites ;) and other pertinent info. that I can just throw in my purse during the move. I also started a packing list for every room with two columns, one column for storage items and one for "take with"...as we'll be moving in with family and it's going to require major sorting! I admit that I stole the idea from a blogger...but the packing info. is my own twist as that section applies to our current situation.

Last day of work for the 2010 School Year! Wahoo!

Off to organize this great binder!
