So I am still getting the hang of this 2 kid thing here and I am working on organization as well. It doesn't come naturally. My mom has 4 siblings and her parents of course. Most are very organized. My sweet Grandma Rosie keeps track of how many cans of green beans we had last thanksgiving and things like that. It is amazing. She has a place for everything...and it goes there. My mom didn't inherit that...neither did I. I will work my whole life trying to 'be together' and it still won't happen!
Example:
I need to make a meal for small group tonight and also a meal for tomorrow for some friends who just had a baby. I bought chicken on sale in bulk. I marinated it, cut it up and put the crock pot in the fridge. the next morning bright and early i got the crock pot out, felt a little proud that i was being money savvy and planning my time well. I turned it on and went about my day. That was 8 am.
2:30 pm---Crap--- Yeah I turned the thing on, but didn't plug it in. In the garbage goes all that chicken.
So...i decided to laugh about it and not be bitter. I made a new (and very complete grocery list) and set off for the store with boys in tow. In the parking lot, I was looking in my bag and realized---CRAP--my list is at home.
So--my house is 83 degrees, i just turned my oven on, my kids are all hot and sweaty and i am wondering if i will ever 'arrive!!!!!'
