April Cards 2013

Hi nancy!

[blessedw2]

ahhh the beautiful sound of morning... okay actually I slept until 10 am - woke 5 and fell asleep again. so technically it's early afternoon.

today is planning day, beauty ( ), look at what's up for the week.
Yesterday I had a feeling I was a failure day - my home, my yard my body and everything needs work and I felt like a bad wife, bad mom, bad pet owner and a really bad homemaker - today after the rest I am feeling better but realize I really need to focus in on my cards to get me feeling accomplished again.

working on the pictures without out a daily time limit because I have to get it done b 4 my mom wants them again is making my life go a little out of balance.
Going to work on a positive self image and set times for things to be done so I get back on the ball.

worked on photos for 1 hour and 45 minutes and that's it for today's scanning.

later working on putting the pictures in the album for my mom
ended up with a headache all day and all night

Waving to blessed I slept in here too until 7:30 a/m up before h. got the chicken chores done had breakfast s2s done also made coffee bed needs made. Put the pullets in a bigger tote today after h. got up and the fryers are beginning to mingle in the morning and evening with the hens slowly.

2:45 pm hit a little bit of a lull as my head is feeling a little off - so making a list

still to be done:

back exercises
bring out rotary mower.. going to do a walk through daily for my exercise when I can (arms and legs right lol)
today is animal care day so I have to at least vacuum the dogs room/laundry room some things done
make dinner
make muffins for this week
scan pictures
mark a note what each picture is on an index card with pencil
pull things together for Tuesday: dh has his other eye done (laser - release for his glaucoma pressure), take dd younger to school, me hair dye at 11:00, dinner with d inlaws - ?'s for myself: where is your cell phone - is it charged, where are you clean cloths, where is your wallet with license and credit card, do you have food ready to bring with. ? for dd younger... do you have everything at front door as with the concussion she is forgetting things. (slept all evening)
do a load of my laundry
put away the laundry

Good morning blessed it is still morning here.
Sweep steps 1/2 done out side sweep carport alos 1/2 done need to move the car first. Make bed x outside & inside chicken chores x dishes ready to be unloaded; laundry sorted & going.

Next keep working on Kitchen counters and table in dining room it's full and needs to be unloaded.

Some outside stuff if it ever warms up. At least we have a sunny day here today

At least the living room does not look to bad, I've reclaimed the master bed room and my office so I'm getting there.

look at you so busy d nancy!!!! great work.

Nancy, I liked that reminder about directions and one wall at a time.

blessed, tell her you are INSURING them against loss, by making sure they are kept at more than one place. For photographs, insurance is paid for with time.

I found the cardfile box a good place to keep rewards codes I want from packages. I cut or tear out the little rectangles while I do the recycling on Trash Day, then plop the cutouts into my cardfile under Desk Day to post online (or whatever the method) then. That way, I'm not getting sidetracked from trash and recycling to worry about desk things, and they are their own reminder.

3 more checkoff-dates on my April laundry card today. One that had not yet been done this month was "pink bathmat". Every textile in my house has been washed at least once this month as of the 22nd, except odd small loads. This works so well for me.

Thanks and I love that idea Harriet it's a good one!

I made great progress yesterday and h. worked late so got the yard mowed after kiddos left. This morning I swept the last half of the steps in the carport and cleaned the chicken run yea! I still need to do the inside of the coop but it's going to have to wait for temps. to warm up a bit first only 34* when I got up this morning. I was getting the sod out for the trash that the fryer had been enjoying nibbling on.

[blessedw2]

great idea d harriet! also I like your idea that I am insuring them for the future.

d nancy great job on so many things done.
