 This is the Working in Threes Thread (W.I.T.) EVERYONE IS WELCOME, especially if you've never posted before! The guidelines are simple: - Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. - Do one more little thing. - Do another little thing. Once you have 3 things done, post them here - Post the next 3 things you plan on doing. - Go forth and conquer, return and post again.. Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed, you are in the right place! If the next 15 minutes consists of: - Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying - Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash . . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE - DOM !!! You could post: Ta - Da's - Took pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Threw away McDonald's wrappers Then your To - Do's: - Bring plates and glasses to kitchen - Put dirty socks in hamper - Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away. Whether you do those three to-do's, or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post. Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da! If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you. Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das. YOU DESERVE THEM!

First let me give you an example of a repercussion for procrastinating. I did pay my 2 past due bills today, but since I did not respond before the shut off date I had to pay it in full instead of only paying part of it and paying the rest later. Now that is really going to put me in a bind with the mortgage. All because of procrastination  Anyway.... TaDa: - paid 2 past due bills - carried stuff to storage from kitchen counter - did dd's cares ToDo: - more organizing in kitchen/dining room - put dirty dishes in dishwasher - call bank |

Hi judejude!! Well...quick clean of the upstairs takes about 10 minutes...it sounds more ambitious than it really is  Sorry to hear about your bills...that has happened to us several times. Are you in a position to have the money taken out of your account every month? Doing that has saved us tons of $$$ in late fees. messyshellby....I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. One step at a time...  tada.. vacuumed stairs getting dinner together upstairs is "good enough" clean todos.. get dinner in oven call DDad get mail off of table |

MessyShelby--Great job gettin' rid of boxes from Doom Room!!!  Tadas: 1)brushed teeth & hair 2)changed shirt 3)picked up kids from school 4)took DS to Heritage Farmstead Museum -- he took more measurements 5)took kids home then went to Sam's Club 6)read email re: sweatpants -- evidently they were lost... so, that is that... 7)had friend and her son over. didn't want them to come in. but hey it was soo cold outside...what could i do ? She actually had brought me a a thank you gift and card for helping her today. $50.00 gift card to Olive Garden & a nice card with a special hand-written note inside it. Also, some cookies. I wish that she had not felt like she had to pay me. I didn't mind helping her out .... I like her and her DSon. 8)went to grocery store to get orange juice & drinks for tomorrow. That's it for me. Good night. CD  |
