What do you do.....

.....when the tree needs to be put up, the mantel needs to be decorated, the house needs to be cleaned, the Christmas cards need to be sent, and everything seems to be piling up around you?

Why you defrost and organize the freezer!

Of course you also see if you can get the water dispenser to start working again,

and I did!and you make a pot of soup from the ham bone and tomatoes you found in the freezer, that you feel need to be used before they get any older!

Do any of you have any moments of what seems like total insanity? Now you know I have these moments, thankfully not too terribly often. Something about the new dryer(that is not the same color of any of the other appliances in my laundry room) just seemed to do it to me today. This is definitely keeping it real. Jackie

Saying Goodbye..........

I am back with phone and Internet service, but instead of blogging I have spent much time preparing for the yard sale that will be Saturday, that is if, Hanna doesn't send too much bad weather our way.

I will be saying"GOODBYE" to this pile of stuff, and I will be glad to see the old treadmill go! There are more piles like this that I am working on pricing, and will be glad to say "GOODBYE" to it all!

I will be saying "GOODBYE" to these pretty summer flowers, and replacing them with .......

Some of this.

"Goodbye"

to this pretty summer fruit....

and "HELLO" to this. Are you getting ready for FaLL? This is my favorite season, so I am starting early this year. My children will be here this weekend, we will be celebrating my son's birthday, and we will be doing a lot of cooking. It is going to be a busy weekend.

I'd love to hear how you are getting ready for fall. Have a blessed week. Jackie

Taking a Different Approach

My natural tendency is to make a list of all the things that I need to do around the house. The problem with that approach is that when I don't get everything done, I get discouraged. Today however will be different. I have decided to make a list of everything that I do get done. Hopefully this will be on the list by the end of the day.

*****Organize the bedroom, that has become the yard sale room.
