my life in a binder

OK i admit it. I have a problem. I am the most unorganized human being on the face of the planet.

This year as God as my witness, I am going to organize my crap. Next year I will use spellcheck. I said next year.

I found an awesome website called www.KeepingTheHome.com.This girl must be something else. She homeschools her kids and is super organized, or so she claims. She keeps everything in a huge binder that has to do with her daily schedule. It's quite amazing really.

Things like schedules, phone numbers, recipes, crap like that. I have these things written on millions of pieces of paper scattered throughout my house and barn, and of course in the bottom of my washing machine.

I will keep you informed of my progression. I actually bought the binder. That is a start.

I was told once by a very successful businessman friend of mine (yes, I do have one successful businessman friend), "If you want to be thin, hang with thin people, if you want to be successful, hang with successful people".

I want to be organized so I will "hang" with this lady.

Here are the diffferences between her and me.

1. She homeschools her kids, I shoot off a flaregun every morning so the bus doesn't forget my kids.

2. She plans her menus, I have cereal every night for supper.

3. She writes down all important things in a binder, I write them on brown barn paper towels, put them in my coveralls, and wash them in the washing machine so I can never read them again.

4. She wears dresses every day, I haven't worn a dress since my first wedding in 1985.

I can do this folks. Rome wasn't built in a day.

I will show you my progress as I figure it out. I have a feeling it will take me all year, but what the hell,I ain't goin' nowhere.

Talk later,

Annie
