What is up with me?

Wow!
It has been since Easter that I have actually posted anything on here. Wow! I cannot say that I've been that busy, but I guess I have. Mostly, Easter weekend was long, and left me a few steps behind in everything at work... and at home. So, I feel like we've been trying to play catch up everywhere we go.

I visited the flylady's site today. She posed the question... Are you livin in CHAOS? -- Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome? I am truly a SHE (Sidetracked Home Executive).

You don't believe me? Let me give you a list of the items now on my DESK -- mind you, this is a DESK, you know...

A piece of furniture typically having a flat or sloping top for writing and often drawers or compartments.

Should I stress the part that says "FOR WRITING"?

1. old popcorn box filled with video tapes (not mine)
2. magazines
3. wrapping ribbon
4. curling ribbon
5. spray bottle of water
6. backpack of Em's filled with fake subway food
7. a bottle of water (I'm thinking it's been there a WHILE)
8. men's cologne
9. this week's mail
10. a tshirt (yes, you heard it right)
11. two cookbooks
12. children's books (I think there are three of them)
13. audio adrenaline cds
14. 2 lamps
15. a paper airplane
16. a necklace
17. 3 baskets full of papers
18. empty file folders
19. jump drive
20. pda
21. stapler
22. pencil sharpener
23. computer
24. quantum leap
25. markers
26. lint roller

okay, I will stop there... but I promise that is NOT the entire list of things.

guess what I'm doing today?

I had heard about FlyLady years ago, but only recently became a "Fly Baby". I'm still amazed that something so simple as an email reminder helps me so much.

FlyLady Rocks!!!!

I understand the busy thing. That is why I haven't posted in over a month. Good luck with the desk.

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't...

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk...
