Talk About Tuesday

Welcome to Talk About Tuesday! If you are new, check out the Guidelines before posting. Thanks for joining us!

First of all, don't forget to enter my drawing to win a free copy of W.O.R.K., Wonderful Opportunities for raising Responsible Kids. I forgot to mention that I will be closing the drawing on Wednesday.

I love that my kids love to wear hats. Persistence wears the hats I knit for her night and day. With that kind of gratitude it's no wonder I can't stop making them! Lovely appreciates them too but since she can't stop herself from picking them apart I'm not as keen to knit her any more.

This is one of the hats from my new knitting book, Itty-Bitty Hats by Susan B. Anderson. I crocheted several different colored flowers so she can pin them on to match any outfit. I think I might have to make one of these for myself!

Now on to my Emergency Prepareness program. Is anyone else participating in Julie's Challenge? I love Julie for motivating me so.

I now know where the keys and combination are to our safe that has all our important documents in it. I took the documents to the copy shop today and made two copies of everything. I already had single copies of it in a file drawer but it makes sense to have it in a binder that is easy to grab and go. I'm making two binders with the copies. One to keep at our house and one to keep at a family member's house in case we were to lose everything by flood or fire. All the originals are going in our suposedly fire-proof/resistant safe in the basement. I suppose we should keep them in a safe deposit box but this will have to do for now.

It was great to go through everything again because it's been years since I've looked at all this stuff so there were updates to make. We own some new vehicles. We've had a baby. You know. Little things like that!

I still have a lot more work to do with my binders to get caught up to Julie's schedule but at least I'm working on it now. Which brings me to my next point and it is a fabulous one.

You know my stylish new planner? There is a little square for each morning that I never write in because we almost never go anywhere in the morning. That's our time to be home-bodies. So as of this week those squares are being used to plan my daily organizing/cleaning projects.

I'm getting so organized I can hardly stand myself and it's not just the garlic potatoes I ate for dinner. Some day I'm going to be so grown up that I actually plan and accomplish things instead of winging it and hoping my life falls into place!
