The Harvey Herald: Making a list...Checking it off !!

So yesterday at Tae Kwon Do the Bible lesson was about making sure to stay focused to achieve tasks that need to get done. I'm sure Master Mills was talking about me when she said that most people start the day knowing that they have to get certain things done, but end up getting sidetracked by different things that come up!! YES! That happens almost every day! So, she said to remedy that we should make a list every morning of things that need to get done that day. As the day progresses and we complete the tasks, we get to mark them off. Having the list in front of me keeps me on track, and focused--it even helps me get more done by making me mindful of time and getting things done quickly. So, today I did exactly that.

My list of things to do today:
*Mop kitchen and entry way
*Vacuum living room and hallway
*Finish homework
*Take recycling to the recycling center
*Put clean clothes away and start cleaning my disaster-of-a-room from last week!

I actually even got in the car to go get Elyse, and forgot the recycling and I was thinking "I will just do it tomorrow, I don't have time to go back for it." But, I MADE myself go back and get the bag, because it was on MY LIST. It was very important that I finish the list! So, I am happy to say that I DID IT!!!!!!!! I even got my homework done a day early--which SOOOO isn't like me! I am proud of the changes that I am making. I really feel like I am transforming myself into the best stay-at-home-mom that I can be, by making myself more efficient and disciplined. I am excited for Bryan to reap the benefits of the "new me" when he gets home to a clean, more organized, and very well-run household. Out with the chaos, in with the order and organization!!

I am including some pics that we took today with the NEW FOUND CAMERA!! Also, check out the videos on the sidebar because I added 2 new ones! Kayne playing basketball, and Elyse's starblock from TKD.

Me, Bry and Lysee tonight before bedtime!
