Menu Plan Monday

Well, I wasn't going to do it, but then here at the last minute, I decided that I would after all, so here goes:

Monday: homemade chicken noodle soup

Tuesday: beef roast with mashed potatoes

Wednesday: lasagna and green beans (GFCF enchilada meal for Boy C)

Thursday: leftovers

Friday: homemade pizzas

Saturday: chicken dinner bake over rice(basically find a mish mash of items, throw them together in a casserole dish with some chicken and put it in the oven until it's done)

Sunday: spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread

And an update to my to do, to do, to do post...

I have gone from this:



to this:



Not as much done as I had hoped I would have, but hey, it's some progress. Not on that list was cleaning up a majorly huge and gross mess in the kitchen and doing dishes. THAT took a good couple of hours to get done, combined. Unfortunately, it's not all done, but it's much closer than it was earlier today and I'm tired so I think it's time to call it quits for the night.

I'm also hoping that I won't be up all night with sick kiddos. I spent a good portion of last night up with Boy B, who is sick with croup. Let's just say that it was a LONG, LONG, weekend!

To do, to do, to do

I thought this looked so nice on my screen that I just had to take a screen shot of it so that I could share it with you all!



It is my to-do list for today. The beauty of it is that when I am done with one item, I can just delete the sticky. But I still have the screen shot of it so I know that I can go back and look at everything that I was able to do.

28 Day Organization Challenge - Day 7 sneak peeks

So this is what the room looked like when I started...



And here are some sneak peeks of what it looks like now:

Bookshelf after...



Deep freeze before...

So there you have it - a few sneak peeks at the room. It's not quite ready yet for a full reveal, but it's getting closer. So much trash, so much recycling, so many dishes (I won't even guesstimate how many I found IN and BEHIND the desks. Um, yeah...we have a problem there!)

So, anyhow, hope you enjoyed the sneak peek. Check back with us next Monday for more revealing photos.

And of course, these aren't final photos...they are just current progress photos - although I would have to say that my own desk is pretty much nearly the way it will stay. I like the way my desk looks and I have been doing a good job of maintaining the look that I want for it to have. And the boys' desks are pretty much cleared off. They left pictures that they were working on out on their desks and their lamps on, but their desks have stayed fairly well cleared off. Although I'm not sure why Boy B has a toilet paper roll holder on his desk. I know which bathroom it goes to, just not sure why it's on his desk instead of, well, let's say...holding a roll of toilet paper? But easy enough to fix that. :) Good luck to all of you with your challenges!
