Tackling it Tuesday - Week in the Life Project

So I am taking on a project this week called a Week in the Life started by Ali Edwards of scrapbooking fame, and that my Sister-N-Law, Betty, has taken on for the last 3 years, is participating in it again this week, and threw out the challenge in her blog to do it too. Its basically a seven day documentary project that gives you an opportunity to "capture the simple everyday details of your life with photos and words."  

So of course,  I'm starting a day late, but I figure I'd give it a go. Its not going to be perfect, but I'm going to be documenting here with you throughout this week as best as possible. Its my first time, so I'm not sure what to expect, but here is what happened yesterday...

Checked my computer at 7:30am....half asleep with sticky eyes

Come down stairs to find the boys already watching morning cartoons and Christian checking his phone...

 I start every morning by washing dishes from the night before, and leaving my kitchen ready for the day...

 

                                                       

I was staying home today so I took advantage and did some necessary laundry

  

Made lunch around 1:30pm....leftover turkey tacos....yummy!

More cleaning and putting away of clothes....time to do the floors







Then I cleaned the backyard...
                                                                                            

and even gave LuLu a bath...






I came in and Chris was taking a break from working on his project by having some ice cream. He's not quite sure why I am taking pictures of him...

I was finally able to put my feet and rest...for a few minutes...

  

  

Since we hadn't gone out all day, and I had worked hard at home...I figured I'd treat the boys to swimming at my Mom's house and McDonald's for dinner. I don't usually have Chicken Nuggets but I had enough WW points left for the day and had the tastiest chicken nuggets and fries ever!!! YUMMMY!!

I ended my day with a nice cup of coffee and watching TV with Jerry and Chris!! 

I have thoughts and things written down as well, and probably didn't take enough pictures, but I think its enough to remember what my day was like. I have to remember that this is about capturing the small moments in life, so I will try again tomorrow.

What does a day in your life look like?? Take the challenge and document a week in your life. You'll never know what memories you'll end up keeping for a lifetime.

Enjoy your day! More tomorrow!

From my corner to yours,

Tackling it Tuesday - Costco, Laundry and Stuff!!

Tackling it Tuesdays

Mondays are my day to kind of wind down from the weekend, start my work week over, figure out what I’ve got going on during the week in regards to sports schedules and appointments, birthday parties and whatever else I’ve got to do and when. So I do a mental calendar/agenda of sorts to get me organized and/or write it down on my phone’s calendar. Tuesday seems to be the day to get those things going...when I at least start tackling the things that need to get done for the week.

Whether they get done or not is another issue. Ugghh!

Tuesday is also the day that the new grocery store adds come in the mail for the sales that start on Wednesdays. I sleep, eat and breathe budgets people, so this is a must for me! This is when I figure out my shopping lists, and according to what I need for the week, I write down the specials per grocery store so that I know where to get the best deals. I have a special organizer that I write them down in, and then I plan out which stores I will end up going to on Wed/Thursday. As a side note: I have been wanting to figure out this phenomenon of extreme couponing to help me out with the shopping, but I haven’t gotten there yet and that will be a blog post in itself.

Do you extreme coupon?? Let me know how that works for you…I’m soo intrigued.

Anyway, the rest of the week is a combination of seeing my week through with the shopping, attending the kids’ sports events, and dealing with homework and school projects, and any parent meetings I might have.

Thank goodness, aside from our normally scheduled activities and work, this week will be pretty mellow for me after recovering from last week’s festivities. BUT in the weeks to come…I’ve got Christian and Daniel’s graduations to help out with, Daniel’s class trip to Catalina to go on, my SIL’s wedding shower to help put on, and as Team Mom for Christian’s baseball team, I will be figuring out end of the season parties and events.

The truth is there is always something to plan ahead and work on. Am I right?

What does your To-Do-List look like? What do you tackle on Tuesdays? Or do you have another day that works better for you?? Would love to know.

Here’s wishing you a productive week from my corner to yours…
