31/365

Wow.. last day of January! I did it!! Actually have 31 posts for 31 days.  I'm really loving this blog.  I look back at previous posts all the time and smile at the pictures.  Just imagine how fun it is going to be in a few months to look back on all the things I would have other wise forgotten.

Today I got into my "list mode" and went a little "chart happy".   I get this way every couple months where I feel like I can't do anything good enough unless I make lists and charts and plans and goals.  I literally sat down and wrote 7 different things I needed to make a chart for...

   ** Weight Chart (gotta lose the weight. I hate how I look/feel right now)
   ** Daily Job Chart  (for me and my kids)
  **  Daily Schedule  (of course it's scheduled to the minute of every moment.. why do I even think this        
                                    is going to work?  It never does...yet, i still make a chart)
  **  A video game/computer game schedule where the kids have to earn coins to play their games
  **  Paying Bills Chart
  **  Getting out of Debt Chart
  **  Goal Chart
   Oh, AND  I decided I needed to start couponing, so I'm meeting Jenni tomorrow so she can give me all the inside scoops on how to get a box of cereal for 25 cents and maalox for free.  Ya this is something I'm really going to have time for in between making all my charts! :)

hmmmmm.... looking at this all in one place makes it me realize one of two things:
     Either I'm a little obsessive .... uhhh... you think????  (I'm so not going to be able to sleep tonight.. I'm going to be thinking of my charts and what else I need to work on)  

                                       or
  
     I've bit off more than I can chew for one week.

Maybe a better plan would be to work on these a little at a time

funny...

as I ended my previous post, I "published" it and an ad on blogger popped up for "free children's job charts"

hmmmmmmm.  My computer is pretty sneaky.
