Tackle It Tuesday

This is going to be another *two-tackle Tuesday* for me. :-) We got a *lot* done on the house last week...but of course, never *enough*. ;-) One thing I had really *needed* to do last week that didn't get done was re-organizing my bedroom. Because we have so little storage, our bedroom ends up being the *catch-all* for everything...and it has gotten really bad this time! So...I know I won't probably *finish* it today (too much else demanding attention as well!), but I want to spend at least an hour getting a good start on it. I won't have an hour tomorrow, but I'm going to try to spend at least an hour the rest of the week until it is finished.

My second tackle for today is finalizing our summer schedule, chore lists, and school plans. I have been working on these, but we've had several major changes lately (dad's job schedule changing, adding piano practice, etc.), so I need to adjust things and get it all finalized and printed up. I created some forms a few weeks ago that I think are really going to help us...I just need to get them *launched* and in use. So...I plan to get that done today as well.

Check out what others are tackling today at 5 Minutes for Mom.

Tackle It Tuesday!

My first Tackle It Tuesday! :-) I've debated what my Tackle It Tuesday project should be...we are in the process of a *whole-house overhaul* on our 60+ year old house, so there are lots of possibilities!

I think we'll go with painting the front door (the inside, not the outside). The front door and door facing *really* need a touch-up, and I have been going to do it for a week...and then Billy was going to do it this weekend...and neither one of us ever got to it. :) The other thing I *really* need to do is switch over my email...I am in the process of changing ISPs and the state of limbo I'm in with my email is about to drive me bananas! So...I will tackle that as well.

Hope everyone has a productive Tuesday!

Tackle It Tuesday Update...

Whew! Finished them both!! Got the door painted and the other trim in the Entryway touched up, *and* got my email switched over. That was quite a traumatic undertaking...I have several email accounts for various purposes, but our primary email address has been the same ever since we first got internet service. Funny how such a seemingly *minor* change can shake a person up so much! Not only did I have to get everything switched over, but I also had to make a *decision* about what our new primary email was going to be from here on out. I knew the addresses I did *not* want to use as our primary email, but couldn't decide between my relatively new gmail account and the email address provided by our new ISP. I finally went with the new ISP address...and so far, I'm happy. I just realized though...I need to figure out which email addresses and email loops my mail needs to be changed on and get all *those* changed as well. *Sigh* Sounds like a "Tackle It Tuesday" project...only unfortunately, this one won't wait until next Tuesday....and my brain is way too tired to tackle that tonight. Guess that will go on my "Way Too Full Already Wednesday" list...;-)

Thanks for the inspiration, motivation, and encouragement to get these projects done!!
